Description

With this view from the dunes on Ambleteuse I want to conclude this series. The flood-tide now reaches the old fort Mahon (marking the start of this series) and Ambleteuse lies as close to the water as possible. That clipper went north and south and here it's heading north again with the United Kingdom on the background. The combination of a telelens with a teleconverter is great, but the little darkened corners show the combination is not perfect. I could have tried to compensate for that in Photoshop but I think it adds to telescopic effect (effectively it's like a 600 mm lens with a magnification of about 13 times). Thank you so much for your enthusiastic company, it felt like strolling in this area with a crowd of RR-members enjoying this site! Tomorrow (eventually!) I intend to start with posting my shots from Switzerland. Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia II 100, 300 mm and 2X teleconverter) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

Enjoyed the trip. Lovely composition. I can't believe how close to the sea this village is. The schooner in the background gives this an eerie timeless moment.

All you needed was for there to be no cars in the scene shoot in B&W and you could've gone back a few cenuaries.. :D

What a magnificant place, beautiful shot !!! The big ship in back certainly adds to the image and i personally love that fortress-type building in the foreground !! What are those two people doing there anyways, maybe two teenagers making out in a quiet corner ? lol Superb work !! :o)

Richard and I are both looking at this, and he says you have achieved a really good depth of field out of it, which is quite extraordinary given the lenses and magnification you were using. It's an excellent photo, and quite amazing to me that you managed to get everything so well in focus, both far and distant!

A great way to end the series with a look back toward the town! I didn't know that you could see across the channel from there - it makes a perfect background with the sailing ship on the water :)
