An office Christmas party this evening, and it was a 'double bonus' to be greeted by this unusual sunset as I was driving home. It was really quite windy, and very chilly walking across the field to find a place to shoot from to avoid having parked cars in this shot. This is part of the newly established National Arboretum, and I am just a little sad to see the photographically beautiful hill has had trees planted all over the slopes, so in time these wonderful feature trees will not be quite so visible at sunset. That may be reason enough to take a series of shots...
@emmilou thankyou! I had thought the scene would be perfect for some HDR practice, but after I had processed the files, the trees had lost so much detail I decided I preferred the normallly exposed single shot. So 'after the event', I now realise I would have been better shooting this RAW instead. Oh well, at least with the 365 project there is always another day... wont be the same photo next time, but there is alway another / different opportunity ..... :D
