Well what's this!? some actual new material?... with the recent relaxation of the seemingly never ending lockdown rules it was time to escape from the confines of the house with the camera to a real location, and one that I hadn't been to for some time.
The weather looked quite good for sunset so I just decided to go for it, even if it didn't work out I really wasn't bothered as it was as much about getting out into nature again, with a view to look at at, a bit of exploration, and some more practice flying my drone, basically it was just GREAT to get out!
Mike Tonge decided to come up as well and meet me for sunset so there was the added bonus of some company as well on the jaunt. The few hours I had up here seemed to go very quickly and all to soon it was time to find a spot for the impending sunset, this one was chosen with the hope the the smaller tree could be fitted 'inside' the larger one by getting low down, which worked out really well, the weather had gone from being sunny and perfectly still to blowing a gale from nowhere which made keeping the tree still a quite hard task, but it wouldn't be landscape photography without a challenge! I had bumped the ISO up to 400 to deal with that, but this is shot on the base ISO so I must have just got lucky for a second!
The sun vanished totally into the low cloud and haze shortly after this shot, knowing there wouldn't be an 'aftershow' of any kind tonight, we made our way back down the hill and out of the strong winds before setting of home. A great use of an evening.
