Symonds yat sunrise

[LongLensPhotography]

My evening plans to go to Lake District may have collapsed, but I finally managed to get a good sunrise at Symonds Yat:



I haven't edited any other ones yet so who knows if this is the best! It likely is.

Anyone who has been to this location will know that it is an incredibly wide vista - no chance with your typical 16-35mm lens in one shot, so I just did a pano of 8 verticals at 24mm!

Previous year:


probably a little more colour and better sky but the light just never came.

Then we also have this older evening shot which I think is also quite interesting

Fabulous. Much better light this time, and the mist really makes the image.

The first is great

#1 is mega

First and last for me although the last could do with either the bottom most tree poking out the river cloned out or cropped.

It's all about that first shot. Really well executed. Looks like pretty optimal conditions that.

Thanks. I've only included no 2 just as a contrast.

We also have this later shot



I will probably stick with the original as the lead shot but it is nice to have alternatives and variations.

Earlier one where the sun is less over powering - actually do you have one prior to the sunrise - that sky looks like it might have had some nice dawn colour to go with the autumn ones

It was surprisingly grey and miserable up to that point in the sky.

I am never quite convinced when I see images which are basically looking directly into low sun yet there are no real shadows.

I guess its something we have got used to since the advent of digital but I can't be whole-heartedly positive about this, lovely though it is.

No 1 for me.

A lovely set but that first is special.

No 1 for me. Brings back memories of my long drive most weekends from Midlesbrough back to RAF St Athan.

#1 for me is excellent! Great shot.
