Instant fav - brilliantly framed, quite magical result.

[Wendy]

Oh wow! Magic indeed and an instant FAV!
And a question - was this done using in camera HDR?

[Peter de Graaff]

@farmreporter I never use HDR. This was taken with film adjusting the camera manually to an appropriate shutter speed and aperture

@peterdegraaff
Thank you, Peter
I am amazed at how detailed the shadows in the foreground are without the arches in the background getting over exposed.
Well done!

@peterdegraaff
By the way - i also shoot completely on manual. I hope you were not insulted when I asked about HDR - again - so good that you were able to achieve this great exposure in both shadows and bright light.
