Wide-angles on the beach

Posted in Uncategorized Tags: , , , , ,

On Thursday evening (in Hermanus) we went walked to the lagoon along the beach.  It was so windy, but that was such a relief, because the sun had been a killer that day.  I had such fun using my widest angle lens that I have… OK… it is the kit lens, so these photos were taken at 18mm.  I could really have done with a 10-20mm lens this week! I absolutely LOVE how the wider angle lens enhances the blue-ness of the sky.

Windswept beach – I tried to capture the lines of sand being blown by the wind on the beach, but it hasn’t really come out.

WOW! Those sprawling sandy beaches are breathtaking! We just got a foot of snow today, and I just loved looking at these views :)

Those are great wide angle shots. I love the second one. There are some great places for shooting on the way to Hermanus also. I loved the drive.

Very nice beach scenes that illustrate the theme very well. I saw a lot of beaches from the subject of my contribution to the theme.

Wow! I love the third one especially – it would look beautiful framed on the wall. I’d love to be able to capture such a beautiful scene like that.
