Southsea Beach, (near Portsmouth) in the height of summer.

Southsea Beach, famous for it's beautiful beaches and historical pier where entertainment abounds with examples of English culture such as Loggy Pippins dancing dog show and the Silly Buggers Trio.

Shot on 'Kodak 100' film using a Nikon F70d circa 1997. Algae removed but responsible for vignetting.

Steve - your photo brought a tear to my eyes - the beautiful sandy beach and stunning blue sky reminds me of what I miss about home - thank you

Yes, some place to long for...

I'm sure, however, that the local pubs make up for it, and then some...

Cheers

Yes they did. The fish and chips shops were crap.

The sand has big grains.

Reminds me of that wonderful book - "The day of the triffids"
No people enjoying the bright, warm sunshine running over the sandy shores with naked (gasp) feet
I like the depth of field in this photo though. The 'sand' seems to stay in focus for a very long way.
Cheers

That's the film, Peter.

Steve, great shot.

Oddly it reminds me of Venice Beach in California, because of the buildings right on the beach front, which is something that we don't often see, at least in Sydney.

reminds me of my assignment in Brighton. You needed GP boots to walk on the beach in the mornings (due to rocks, not suringes).

Ahh, do miss that large soft light source, you could count on it every day!

As already stated, a great DOF. With that beckoning for an enjoyable Sunday at the beach you have to feel sorry for the poor bastards. No wonder they are like they are.

Among the rubble, there's sometimes a bit of sand. Premium sunbathing spots. Here's a shot from near Eastbourne circa 1982.
