![[Image: Beach%20resize2.jpg]](http://www.shuttertalk.com/forums/images/upload/Beach%20resize2.jpg) This is the beach at Grand Turk in the Caribbean. Probably one of the nicest views on the island that was devastated by Huricane Ike in September. Much of the interior of this island is still in a mess. I had a great deal of fun using my new ultra wide lens on my cruise vacation last week. I rarely took it off the camera. I'll be processing a few more photos from my trip and hope to post some more images soon.

The beach is great. The ship spoils it as it swamps the beach.
The photo of it shows the scale. I kind of like it.

I was trying to see what the lens could do at 11mm. wide. Taking this photo, I was crouching low in the wet sand; the rocks in the foreground were only inches from the camera and the humongous ship several hundred feet away. I might have taken some more images with different angles/perspectives and exposures, but the incoming waves filled my shoes with water and I reluctantly vacated that spot. We couldn't disembark until after 1:00 pm, so the light wasn't idea, but I'm happy with the results. I made a 13x19 in. print that I will frame and hang for a while as a great vacation memory......Dennis

It does pretty well.
 Why worry about the water. It dries pretty quick in those climates.

Nice photo EG. Makes me want to be there so is infinitely commercial and saleable. Suggest submitting this to a stock shop. It will sell dozens of times.

I love this shot! It looks like a photoshop job with the ship just slapped in there. It seems truth is stranger than fiction
 It's certainly a memorable image. The composition, colours and sky are all fantastic. Excellent use of UWA too.

I did not mean the photo when I said this. It just seems as though the cruise ship is spoiling the pleasure of the swimmers. As everyone says it is a great photo.
