Living close to the sea, I like nothing better than being alone on beach looking for a composition and waiting for the sky to come to life with the first or last rays of the sun. Over the last few years I have been asked many questions by fellow photographers about my seascapes. Not being one to ever hide my techniques or refuse to reveal my locations I always try as best I can to explain exactly how and where my images where taken. I tend to babble a bit when explaining how and when so below I will list exactly what I do. I am by no means an expert at this stuff but having followed and attended lectures many very successful photographers I think I am just about on par with my technique. So here go's... I'll try to be brief but thats unlikely knowing my happy fingers..... I'll list in the order I go about things...
I have been an avid landscape, seascape and architectural photographer for quite a while now. On occasion I'll encounter a scene or building that can simply not be captured in a traditional single frame capture. Maybe it's because my lens are not wide enough for a specific subject or perhaps the scene being captured warrants a wider ratio of photograph. There are also times when I think 'wouldn't this just look amazing as a huge print'.... huge prints typically need huge resolution... this is another area where knowing how to shoot and combine panoramic photographs can be to your benefit.
