This was taken on the beach at Bexhill-On-Sea, East Sussex. It is a photo of stones that were stuck between two bits of wood on a sea breaker.
I used the polar coordinates filter in photoshop to turn in into a sphere and then carefully blended the join.
The effect in all four corners of the photo was actually caused by the filter and therefore an unexpected enhancement.
A little skewey from the panorama but you get the picture.

As usual, best viewed large (L). This is the shot of the waves breaking on the beach at Bray during last Tuesday’s easterly gale that I was working on when Silver Lining presented itself– since I took it I have been reading Peter Cox’s article in Luminous Landscape on Planning your Photography Trips in which he discusses how planned shots don’t always work but that a “found” shot can often be just as good. Last Tuesday I was lucky enough to get a planned and a found shot - the overall message is . . . get out there!
It was taken in heavy rain from the car at Raheen Park with the Canon 100-400mm set to 250 mm and ISO200 to get 1/200th of a second at f8, and with image stabilization on. In Lightroom, I did minor cropping at both sides and played around with the exposures and tone curves to bring out the breaking waves, as well as the usual sharpening.

The original 2007 Breaker SRT SS was inspired by the classic Dodge Charger. It has a supercharged 5.5 Liter V8 producing 670 Horspower to RWD. It will do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 150 MPH!
this was a photostitch from a bunch of stills taken with my cam-corder, so it appears a bit fish-eye.
Caution: High Voltage!
This is the inside of our circuit breaker panel. The two thick cables coming down from the top are the main power feeds that carry electricity into the house from the power lines on the street. The big grey wire wrapped in white tape off to the right is the grounding cable.
somebody once told me "there are no bad cameras - just bad photographers". well, since my 'good' camera died last summer and i have not stumbled across an extra $700 for a new one, i will be shooting for a while with my rather crappy 'backup' cameras. but it beats what i've been doing - which is not shooting at all.

I didn't manage to get out today, so I thought I would post another shot from yesterday morning. These wave breakers stretch all along the beach in varying clumps and cluster all the way from Dunster to Blue Anchor. Some of them are really old a haggard and from a distance look like precessions of gnarled, hunched over creatures.
Although these are wave breakers, the title came more from the fact that it made me think of Stephen King's books, particularly the Breakers in the Dark Towers series. Humans with psychic powers imprisoned by the Crimson king in a place where time bearly moves.
Anyway, thats just my take on it.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to look at my shots and leave comments. They are greatly appreciated.
