Trebarwith Strand Cornwall..

Trebarwith Strand is just over two miles south-west of Tintagel and has a mile long sandy beach that is completely covered at high tide.

 

In the sea beyond low water mark is Gull Rock (or Otterham Rock).

 

The tide was in and I was the only photographer stood here , although there were two more perched higher up on the cliff to my right. Far enough away for me to cope with the crippling shyness I suffer from. A three stitch pano from the D850 and tripod mounted ...

The reason I took awhile to upload this shot is that I had problems with the images taken that I found difficult to deal with and if anyone knows the answer it would be appreciated..

Each shot suffered some curvature of the horizon. I was able to put the shots in Camera raw and profile the lens. I used the distortion correction tool but there was still a curve. I then tried both the pin cushion and barrel distortion tools but neither helped and I had to do my best with the transform tools till it looked better but tbh not really acceptable to me but I so enjoyed being here and taking some fast exposure shots this being 1/250 and some longer exposures which proved no easier.

I never found this place so empty so I was literally

‘in my element ‘

So I felt I captured what it was like and enjoyed myself but was disappointed with that curvature. I really would appreciate any tips about that. There was some lens flare unsurprisingly and a very bright prism coloured blob in the foreground that inexorably drew the eye but small enough to clone out so I did. Definitely not a sooc shot for the purists but I didn’t have a lot of choice unless I just binned them but the memories too precious for that..
