This image is created from a series of photographs taken at Porthcawl
beach during a bitterly cold and windy day that also had the odd
hailstorm. As I stood on the beach I
initially looked towards the fairground and rotated 360 degrees towards the sea
and the seawall with the town behind. In the middle of the image I am looking
down at my boots to show I was there but it was far too cold to have bare feet.
Having taken forty nine photographs I decided not to use all of them
even though I did use a few of the beach a number of times to help create a
better perspective of scene. If you take some time to study the image closely
and zoom into the bottom right hand corner you will just be able to see the two
surfers and the light house, although the guy metal detecting does
unfortunately appear twice as he was walking around at the time.
If I was to repeat this exercise again I would have taken more
photographs of the sand as it is better to have too many than not enough,
especially as I decided to create a large image from the photo joining. Other
than a few small anomalies, I feel that the result is pretty good and gives a
good perspective of the fairground and beach.
