Fascinating series of photos. And thanks for the captions, they really fill in the story told by the photo.

Appreciate you're sharing of these great shots.

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for posting!

During my childhood, I lived a few years in this region. I remember visiting the beaches at/near Trouville.

Thank you!
 
I really like theses photos, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if you used any post production work on image 4, to get the lovely light lines. I've never used processing on any of my photos. Having seen a friends work in this area I'm really appreciating that the image I see isn't necessarily what the image was at point of taking. I'm NOT suggesting you have done this, rather hoping that I too could get the same image without 'messing' with it later.

Image 4, and the 'meandering' boats are my favourites I think.
 
Very nice series and thanks for sharing.

May I ask how you processed the B&W's? Are these in camera film simulations or did you process them from raw files?

Thanks. The processing was mostly done with Nic collection. The light was accentuated by raising the structure.

Thanks for your reply. However, what does 'raising the structure' mean?

Interesting images!!! I think that those B&W HDR-like images might not be everybody's cup-a-tea, but I think you did well on those.

The 2 pics above I liked best and I wondered whether you had ever tried keystone correction on your ultra-wide-angles?

Hope you don't mind, I had a play to see whether this would actually work here:

Jury still out I guess but thought this image was reminescent of the Fritz Lang film Metropolis (1927??? would need to look this up, sorry).

Keystone used in Capture One Pro 10 plus cloned the then of course incongruent top frame out, also in Capture One.

That is one of the possibilities within Silver Efex Pro2 (Nik Collections).

Thanks. Keystone is very well done. FYI: none of the pix are HDR.
 
Mooi Etienne.

De roeibootjes steken er wat mij betreft boven uit!
 
Hi Etienne,

I really enjoyed these. Different.

Can I ask how you did the edge framing effect, that gives that slightly antique effect?

Thanks.

Regards, Rod
