Beachfront hotels in panorama
Like you do.
On consecutive weekends recently, I set my GFX to a 65x24 XPan crop and shot things on and around beaches. The first weekend I just used the kit 35-70 zoom lens. The second weekend I went rogue and used an adapted Yashica 50mm f1.9 (“vintage”!). I really liked the black and white JPGs straight out of camera, but wanted to see how these would look in color. As expected, there’s not much color in these cold winter scenes. But I liked how the colors that did show up were extra highlighted against the relative blandness, so went with the color versions for this set.
Looking back through the photos, there were a fair number of shots of hotels—some closed for the season, one with a person looking at me through an open balcony door, all with a distinctly charming seaside vibe. Here they are.
