Hi alverstone. No mate it's a standard pic & not a composite. I have nearly 6 different versions of them from the afternoon. Photo was shot at f22 at shutter of 160. All done with a 400mm F2.8 lens. Original pic on LR3 as

attached.

I may have to stand corrected. But I'm stil skeptical. If I'm wrong, I owe you some booze for dissin' your skills on the interweb thingy. But I just can't get my head around the fact that there's no coast showing between City Beach and North Cottesloe and the buildings at North Fremantle loom so large I'll get back to you later on this ....

Ever seen the moon is larger when it sits low in the horizon. ? maybe its part of the same optical illusion effect.

Mea culpa. I've asked a couple of professional photogs and they say a 400mm will do that. Name your poison and place to meet.

Hi "alverstone". It's all good mate. I'm glad the photo allowed you guys to have a look at what a brilliant picture you guys make. Thanks for the compliments people. "mattyj" I was going to post this photo in the WA section initially, but I thought it would be good to share. Maybe with my next posting I will have to think about going down that path. Cheers, Gordon.

A photo I took on Sunday afternoon at about 4.00pm ( +/- 23 knts ) looking up towards Leighton beach from Brighton beach.

Looking at that gives me a smile.Means cheaper quality used kites on the market.

Thanks - but as a part-time snapper I still feel bad, so hit me up for a beer if you see me with a bevvy in hand after a session at either Dutch or Woodies this summer. I usually wear a red rashie and a pale beige bucket hat.

Plenty of room at Dunkirk France, ( Nov ,2013)

Looks like you'd have to be careful launching and landing, not a very big beach area to work with haha

I'd say blue sky 25 degrees and white sand is also pretty high on my favorite places list. W.A ticks all those boxes. Although I do really like escargot and french girls.
