Beacons South

Black and white photos on photo paper, hand colored with oils. I love creating long panoramic photographs, using longer lenses (180 mm in this case). This image was created by stitching together seven individual images, after panning my camera from left to right. The two guys (I like to imagine they are discussing surf conditions) stand out nicely against the foggy backdrop. On the right Mount Soledad can be seen peeking through the fog. This image also lends itself well to be framed as a so-called “quintych”, for which I overlap the images. The pieces hang separately, but I have a wall template for easy hanging. The front doesn’t have glass, but I put on an acrylic textured craquelure coating, which typically doesn’t reflect like glass does and keeps it light in weight.
