Description
This is a multiple image panorama of the Fylde Coast which also shows the distant Isle of Man clearly on the Irish Sea horizon beyond the wind turbines, as shot from Winter Hill Lancashire.
Far left is Blackpool Airport & far right is the water tower, BAE Warton is in the foreground along with Ashton Preston further right. There are many more landmarks to see within the image, some are no longer in existence such as the famous Premium Bonds Building, where ERNIE was based.
The image was taken on a quite exceptionally clear day in Spring 2016 using a 600mm lens.
The distance from which this image was shot combined with the powerful telephoto lens compresses the perspective to such an extent that everything looks much closer than it really is. Blackpool Tower is 20 miles away from the shooting location of Winter Hill, whilst the Isle of Man is 85 miles away!
