Some 7-14 seascapes.

Just got back from visiting our son in Esperance on the south coast - a 1500 km round trip. Shot in RAW and processed in LR3.

West Beach (cropped).

Oh man! I'm a sucker for WIDE glass, and these aren't helping. Looks like a great trip, Bill. Thanks for sharing them! :smile:

Great shots Bill !

Great. I love that first shot in particular. Do note that the horizon is slightly out (it slopes down to the left).

The second one doesn't quite look as I would expect. The top of the sky is a little dark and the sand is somewhat duller than ideal. I think cropping top and bottom would help lift it.

The colour of the water is wonderful in both.

Cheers

I want to be there!

Thanks for the feedback - horizons are my downfall - UWA seems to make the problem worse. Here is a crop of Twilight Cove.

I like this one. It's not easy to make a wide-angle shot work, and this one certainly does.

 

[BBW]

Even better, Bill!

I use the G1's guidelines feature to level my horizons (when called for)... wonderful feature.

I love my 7-14!

 

[PeterB666]

+ 1 for that last shot.

amazing...I am officially suffering from glass envy!

 

[Narnian]

Beautiful shots!

Just say the view is so wide it captured the curvature of the earth

I agree getting horizons are tough - I did see there are cameras starting to come out with digital levels built in.

Nice! I may be in the minority, but I like the uncropped version more - I love what UWA lenses do with lots of clouds against a blue sky. The slight darkening of the sky doesn't bother me at all. But I like the cropped also!

I am also start to see good (ultra) wide pictures is a totally different "sport", especially 2nd one is nice.
