Coast NL EU 2019

Friendly weekday at the Dutch beach in the spring.
Kind op strand
There are a few people around. Little girl wants grandma’s hand. Ships sail approximately 400 meters from the coast. As you can hear that’s very close! The surf is out of the direct view of the microphones (mics low), so it sounds a bit muted.

Observation: You will recognize it; Two dogs see a strange object in the distance. They approach it cautiously but remain at an appropriate distance. My microphone with a dead cat and my bag with equipment were left deserted on the beach. People responded just like the dogs. At an appropriate distance. Nice to observe and hear.

Remark: There is no sea-coast-beach in the world where the seagoing ships pass that close.

Date/time: May 22st 2019, start 11.52 am

Location; Westduin beach, Dishoek Vlissingen, Zeeland, Netherlands (Holland), Europe GPS 51.46211 3.52769

Gear chain: Sennheiser mkh30/50 MS, in Rycote cyclone small, windjammer > Sound Devices 302 >Tascam dr-100 Mk2. Decoded Mid-side to STEREO
