Sunrise over poppy field

Tuesday 2nd July 2013

I've been "eyeing" up this poppy field, near Faversham, Kent, over the last week, waiting for decent sunrise conditions. Well, with clouds arriving from the west as the sun rose, I finally got them!

The wide images were taken using a Nikon D300 and 12-24mm lens and the close-up, a 200mm Micro, iso 200 at f16. For the top image, I chose not to use an ND graduated filter due to the increased risk of flare so, instead, blended two expoures. One where I exposed for the foreground and the other, for the sky.
