Beach huts

I shot this on a trip down to Southwold at the weekend. The sun had risen quite high by the time i had got to this spot & the light had become harsh. So I then decided that I would aim for a B&W shot which is a little out of my comfort zone but thought it was the best option.

Quite like it but it needs the horizon straightening it slopes down to the left.

Love it! I'm not so concerned about the horizon myself - we're not looking straight on to the coastline, so I think natural perspective would tend to lower the left side a bit (am I imagining it or is the forum currently littered with 'sloping horizon' complaints ?? )

I like the low down viewpoint, peering through the reeds. Gives great depth. But, I love my colours! Could we see it is glorious Technicolor?

Where we have a horizon line, as we clearly do have here, it is really essential that it's straight.

The other enemy to straight horizons is of course barrel distortion in wide angle lenses....

it's a shame we often don't get the Exif info with these postings in forum.

I bought a DA15mm (minimal pincushioning) instead of my Sigma 10 - 20mm precisely because landscapes were dramatic but had curved horizons unless perfectly aligned. Sometime of course the effect is good to see as with a Fisheye which Ii've always fancied but doubt I would use enough.

Yes I agree John, it makes me feel a bit queasy if the sea is sloping downhill. I don't mind to much about fields and forests but the sea is always horizontal.. jeff..

Straightened it
