Southern summer panoramics

Often simply written as "W/NW" - your favorite photos. Explain them, or let your photos (film or digital) speak for themselves.

Southern summer panoramics

Post by Julio1fer »

A bit of summer for those of you freezing up North, to continue the mood started by P.C.

I had a few days of vacations in the Piriapolis area. Not much of a summer, though. We had several storms and windy days. This storm was worth 49 mm of rain in a few hours. However, the beach was not bad and the storm clouds make good subjects.

Image

Obligatory harbor shot. I could not access the fishing boat section this year because of a big repair job at their dock, so I had to look for other subjects. The upscale yacht area was crowded. Many yachts on sale, prices in the six figures range. Photography is a cheaper hobby.

The promenade near the River Plate, close to the harbor.

Proof that the Earth is round, especially when you choose to disregard the liquid level instrument in the Horizont.

Just out of the town it quickly becomes a rural area. Forestation has advanced and there are lots of wood around, for stoves, barbecues (we make them with wood, not coal) or just to be shipped to industry. For instance, this place with seasoning wood piles just near the beach.

Image

The Piriapolis town was developed by a real-estate entrepreneur, Francisco Piria, at the beginning of the 20th. century. Piria operated a stone quarry in the area. He developed a small town for his workers, including a large church that never got to be finished. The church building has been abandoned for almost a century, and is now partly used as a wood deposit. I visit this area periodically to see if the church is still standing.

Film was FP4+ in the usual Beutler mix.

I have some more from the Nikon F, but it is taking me a lot of time to finish the roll. Thanks for looking!

Here's another southern summer pano, this time of Makorori Beach, just north of Gisborne. Taken in the late afternoon, cloudy, but still in the mid 20's (C), and there's not a soul on the beach!

(three frame pano)

That old church looks like it has loads of further photographic potential Julio!

These are all great, Julio, especially the storm one, and the empty beach.

Thanks for the comments, PF!

Paul, that's an awesome beach.

You are so very right! My original plan was to try to sneak in and shoot a roll or two there. But I got to the old church too late, there was only time for a quick outside shot. I have had that building in the crosshairs for some time.

Sorry, I just now realized Paul took the beach photo. Too big of a hurry the other day. Great photos from both of you!
