Something for the Weekend - Part 126 - Summer at the Beach

[Dean_Utian]

In the great Something for the Weekend tradition, magnificently organised by davescm, and encouraged by Trevor.Dennis, I am honoured to post something this time. Should still be weekend left for this to still hold true

I took this panoramic photo at Bondi Beach about an hour ago. Sorry if it is upsetting to anyone - seeing the great weather we're having and that people are able to go to the beach.

Hope you can make something interesting out of it.

Thanks Jacob for starting this one off.

Hope it's not smoke haze. That's what we had at the start of last year.

[Jacob Bugge]

Ice haze, Dean, to go with the ice floes and the onshore white stuff.

I came to think of the frozen lighthouse (the Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Lighthouse at Lake Erie) footage rom 2010.

Smoke haze sounds frightful.

[Dean_Utian]

I'd take ice haze over smoke haze.

My summer mug.

[Dean_Utian]

Grat use of the panorama. Can I order one of those mugs? 🙂

[Trevor.Dennis]

Very cool Derek.  Is that a Starfilter Pro flare?  It totally makes the image.

[EDIT]  Thought I'd add a link to SFP4  StarFilter Pro 4 Plug-in by ProDigital Software

My Summer Skirt  (the face, alas, is borrowed)

[Dean_Utian]

Rista - you may be onto a new fashion trend. 🙂

[davescm]

I like it Rista 🙂

Dave

[Trevor.Dennis]

Rista, so is there a young lady having to wait for the return of her face somewhere?  That's a tough one. 

Dean, I'm sure I have read SiFi books that featured holographic clothing that could change at the whim of the wearer.  Another twenty years should make that a reality.

Dean - Thanks for putting up a starter image this weekend. I've just been having a play with it in Blender 3D

Graham, have you turned into one of thos picture puzzels?  If you'd divided it into more segments, you could have made it into a pictoral Rubics Cube.  

[Dean_Utian]

Is the picture puzzle turning images to get them all merging seamlessly?

[Ussnorway]

I show him taking the photo on his tablet... well i assume a tablet but it could have been those old fashioned camera devices

not sure what you mean by a puzzle but if thats what you see then its cool as well mate?

[Trevor.Dennis]

Blimey.  8000 pixels wide!  I had to make it a triptych to fit it on my screen.

[Dean_Utian]

Treveor - you'e done well with the 8000 pixels.

I had to so the beach justice and give a challenge 🙂

There is an art shop near Bondi Beach that sells beach paintings on canvas. Your image reminds me of them.

[Trevor.Dennis]

Bondi Beach you say?
