I took this shot during an early morning shoot at Willen Lake, Milton Keynes.
The Stone Circle, if I remember rightly, was 'built' in 2000 and is not an ancient monument!!

The builders did a very good job of making it look like the more ancient ones. You did a very good job of photographing it too.

Hi

The OP graciously has given me permission to post my variation of his wonderful picture. I do hope it meets with a approval.

Seasons greetings

Don, very nicely done. Mind sharing how you set up this shot? You've inspired me.

DonRak · 12-23-2011, 10:51 PM

Schraubstock - Interesting varient, thanks for taking the time

Jeff - Nothing special I'm afraid. Its a 3 shot HDR, off the top of my head I think it was 2 stops -/+. Processed in Photomatix Pro 4.0.2 and finished off in Elements 9. Simples! (actually, you might not understand the phrase 'Simples' as its a bit of a UK 'thing'.....check out Compare the Meerkat not Compare the Market

)

Looking forward to seeing them. I like the colors in the original.

Thanks for the tips Don. I see you were using 10mm from the EXIF, was that the Sigma 10-20 (3.5 or 4-5.6)?
