Whilst taking photos at Clun Castle ruins in the town of Clun, Shropshire, I noticed this beautiful rural view of a nearby field that had been harvested and then left with the bails of hay dotting the open pasture. “What a marvelous scene,” I thought to myself. I wanted to get into the photo just the edge of the stone wall of the castle to give the image a bit of depth and contrast. This is why I love landscape photography. That sky was just the topping on the cake. This is a HDR image combining 3 bracketed photos using Photomatix Pro 4 for Mac.

Lovely, lovely view – did you manage to get down to those fields too?
I’m afraid not.. my wife wouldn’t let me.. (ahhh) any-who, Thank you my friend. We need to have a proper catch up at some point. Too bad you don’t have a camera on your computer at home. Facebook can now video chat I have found.
You ate a mate? ROTFLOL! Thank you bud. I really appreciate it. Such beautiful countryside around there. I do hope we are able to meet up soon and go take some nice pictures somewhere. Fancy coming around Derbyshire?
