Sennen sky

After a gentle but lovely twilight (Pools of light), it went quite bland as a bank of cloud blew over. In two minds whether to stick or stay. I'm glad I chose the latter as some uplighting livened proceedings.... so there was a mad scramble to change lens, wide-angle bellows and ground glass, swap centre filter from the 80, in addition altering ND grad filtration.

I was being optimistic to prevent distortion and learnt that applying more than the tiniest front rise with the 58mmXL produces vignetting - hence the crop.

The beach is completely empty of people. In just 2-3 hours, holidaymakers will be crammed in like sardines behind their wind-breaks. In the distance is Cape Cornwall and off-shore rocks are The Brisons

No Tom it's the original. I stockpiled lots in a freezer and still have several hundred sheets to use. Lucky me!

I have tried the new version. Colours are pretty much identical, it is 1/3 stop faster making it a true ISO 50 film for me.

I love the skies over England ... at least what I've seen in pictures (everytime I went to England it was sunny and clear :smile:. I always love to see your work Baxter, I'm glad you started posting again.

Hey Baxter, beautiful image! I can nearly feel like I'm there. Extremely relaxing image in my mind. Thanks for posting!

Thankyou Andrew, Robert and Thomas

It is my intention to move down to West Cornwall as soon as practicable with my children. I feel so at home there and am really inspired by the landscape, coast and sea.

I've had rather a full plate recently Robert and not really got around to posting here. My favourite shot from the visit last week is a heart shaped fissure in granite. The B+W is better than the transparency, but am honouring APUG gallery rules and not posting, since I have had to do some selective work to balance the image.
