Canon F1 and Kodak BW400CN shot as "redscale".

There's a masterclass in framing a shot. Perfect, Brian.

Thanks a lot, Rob. But wait until the Dust Police (those despicable specimens) show up and have a look at all the stars I have captured in the image. I'm not naming names, though! (@Pete Askew)

Haha!!! Not of just the dust police you need to look out for, but the Spirit Level Superintendent may have a few words with you too with that horizon! .... Certainly not mentioning any names either (@Chris Dodkin)
That's the thing about film and it's untouched and non manipulated status, it is what it is and I frickin love it!!!
Brilliant shot Brian.

Damn the SLS! Spying on innocent photographers all over the planet with his DSGs!

Thanks for your support, Dan!

I'm saying nothing about the Earth tilting off it's axis and spinning away into space…. nada, zip, niet….

Lovely comp Brian - having the sun in frame makes it for me as you get the full feeling of a hot afternoon at the beach - the little family group on the right finish the story nicely

Understood, Chris. You need say nothing about your extraterrestrial activities!

Also, thanks. Much appreciated.

I think it has a real feel of a lazy afternoon down at the beach, just relaxing until the sun goes down, lovely.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Nice comp...nice feel.
Don't listen to the police. I...for one...understand that if it wasn't for the slight tilting ability of the oceans...the tides wouldn't work. And...the beach is a dusty place.
In a month or so...if the weather stays as crazy here...I'm going to be jealous of these pics.

Thank you, Glenn. What you say makes perfect logic and a lot of sense to me.

And what's more I can see where you've used a felt-tip pen to try and cover some up on the RH side!

Super composition Brian and I like the scattering of individuals gazing out to sea, especially the ones one shielding their eyes.

Nothing gets past you Constable Pete!

Anyway,...thank you, Pete. Much appreciated.
