castlerigg-barn-at-sunset

This image was taken on my birthday just next to Castlerigg Stone Circle in the Lake District. This was one of the most magical sunsets I've witnessed with fantastic light, a cloud inversion and even a rainbow. I wasn't keen to share the time with the tourists around the stones so went up the lane to capture a panorama of the next door field. This was originally a stitch of about vertical 10 images but I cropped out around 3 off the right as they didn't add to the image. I'm certainly glad I worked the images from left to right as Blencathra disappeared in the growing cloud inversion by the time I'd finished.

The technical bit:
Camera - Nikon D800
Lens - Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM Art
Aperture - f16
