Location: Breskens (8 m)      by: Mentor Depret
Area: Netherlands      Date: 10 July 2015
This is a tele version of pano 17916 and the 3th pano I ever made. However I didn't photograph in manual mode so a lot of very disturbing light transitions appeared on the first release. I corrected the pictures as good as I could and put them in the Hugin stitcher again. I am happy with the result right now reflecting the beauty and diversity of this location at the mouth of the river Scheldt, where the North Sea beach begins, with a nice view on the highest dunes (up to 53 m NAP) in the Netherlands near Zoutelande, Walcheren peninsula and on the Vlissingen sky line on a very beautiful day. Farthest objects are the twin cooling towers of Doel nuclear plant in Belgium, 51 km away.

CanonG1Xmark2, 29 pics, 81.25mm (155 mm KB), iso 200, f 10, from left to right: 1/640>1/500>1/400>1/500>1/640, stitched with Hugin.
I discovered that a 500 px height pano directly from Hugin yields an ugly result (which I did in the first release). So I made maximum possible with Hugin, did the downsizing in preview (Apple), corrected a few mismatches and then sharpened a bit. End result is 12097x499 px yielding same quality in Safari and Firefox.

Hi Mentor. I have a curiosity. That series of poles that you see on the beach what they do?

Hi Giuseppe, these poles are needed to protect the beach from erosion. The tide difference is 4.5 to 5.5 m, two times a day, so currents are very strong and can wipe out the beach without protection. These poles break the currents and the waves.

Very interesting. A bit retouching of the front waves would improve the image without being so difficult.

Not my favorite holiday destination, but a very exciting documentation of your home region in fine quality!

Best regards, Hans-Jörg
