Today was Tuesday, Dunkin' day at Tappan Beach. We just sit and have coffee and a donut and talk about random things and just enjoy the view. This bench caught my eye as it often does. I have photographed it many times but from two hundred feet away as a small part of an interesting landscape. Today I decided I wanted to go photograph it from up close and see what that would look like. It certainly looks monumental seen up close with a wide-angle lens. A completely different way to see this object and this scene. The photograph below, is the scene you have seen me photograph with a longer focal length lens so many times. Quite a difference in perspective. The photograph, below, somehow seems more complete than just the photo of the bench.

The photo of the bench up close is definitely a different perspective and it looks more significant than with the whole scene. Love the beach scene. It looks so quiet and peaceful. Trace
Love the beach scene in the second photo as it so peaceful. Sit on the bench and take in the view and fresh salt air. To me, the bench alone seems strange and lonely. Joan
I love the beach scene which is so beautiful. But it is fun to go and examine just a part of the scene and see what I could come up with. Joan, you got the correct feeling in my estimation, of the bench being alone. I think that maybe in the long view, the bench is waiting for someone, rather than being all alone. Just my 2 cents...
