Samara ,Costa Rica , I'm pretty happy with how my guesstimate for exposure came out
with the Provia 100F on my Etrs and 40 lens . Peter
 
I feel it's appropriate to make my first contributions to this forum in this thread, given that I live at the seaside and it provides a large part of my subject matter:



Leica M4-P/CV 35.1.7 / Fujicolor Industrial 100



Olympus OM1N / OM Zuiko 50mm 1.8 / Portra 400
 
Sigma Sd Quattro H, Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG "Art" lens (46mm on Sd Quattro H)
Shot at ISO 100 and processed with Sigma Photo Pro software (Auto mode).

Apologies for all the words but otherwise it looks a standard beach scene with little to commend it.

West Sands in St Andrews was used as Broadstairs in Kent for the opening and closing scenes in Chariots of Fire filmed in 1981.
Winner of 4 Academy Awards [Oscar1981] - Including Best Picture & Best Original Score by Vangelis
The athletes are seen running barefoot on wet sand and in the breaking waves.
The action is set to Vangelis' score.
As well as West Sands, St Andrews Golf Course's 18th hole was used for scenes said to be outside the Carlton Hotel in Broadstairs. Some were not fooled. The film's producer David Puttnam saw the film once with Sean Connery and Connery tapped him on the shoulder and told him in no uncertain terms: 'that's not the Carlton Hotel, that's St Andrews'."
A plaque from the Scottish film council is nearby.
