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..

Gammel Strand (modern Danish for "old beach"; originally meant "the old shoreline", i.e. prior to land reclamations) is a street and public square in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
Copenhagen's cradle
Gammel Strand used to be the site of a natural harbour, sheltered by a few small islets later to develop into Slotsholmen. It was around this harbour that Copenhagen was founded as a small fishing and trading settlement in the 11th century. However, archeological finds show that the beach at that time was located considerably further inland. The area was marshy and boats were merely pulled up on the beach. Later land reclamations moved the coastline and a proper harbour developed.
Extract from Wikipedia
Last Friday I ventured down to Trebarwith Strand with Darren, Jim and James for sunset.
I've been here twice now, the last time I went I witnessed one of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen, so I was hoping for more of the same on this visit.
We got there as the tide was coming in, which meant most of the beach was inaccessible. So, I headed to this rock channel which is one of the classic compositions from here, I'm pretty happy with the shot but I think we needed the tide to be a bit higher as it fills this channel with fast flowing water.
There was some nice colour just before sunset, but it was snuffed out by a huge bank of moody cloud so we didn't get the pinks and blues that we were after.
