Got up at 03:30 this morning as it was supposed to be a good opportunity to try my luck at a new location – Alnwick Castle. The (nearly) full moon and the rising sun where supposed to be at about right angles – and shining on either side of one of the castle elevations. Well …. that was the plan.
I got myself into position over an hour before sunrise – in the hope that I could get a dawn / moonlight shot. Sadly a small amount of cloud covered the moon and made it ineffective. Thus #1
#1
Just after sunrise, I started to see a glimmer of warmth in the light as the sky got lighter very quickly – should have used a GND filter. Thus #2
#2
A half hour later, and nearly an hour after #1 was taken, the sun finally cleared the surrounding hills. The light only lasted about 5 minutes before the sun got obscured behind some cloud. But it was sweet while it lasted! Thus #3
#3
The short period of sunshine put up a good blue sky and streaks across the foreground grass so here they are in #4
#4
Hope you enjoyed – C&C please – and thanks for looking.
