Image Location : a misty sunrise on Bembridge Down or Culver Down, Isle of Wight.

I love the hazy, misty mornings we get a lot of at this time of year, you also don’t have to get up so very early to enjoy the best of it. Need to be quick as the light is constantly changing but the simplest things can make interesting images. Straight image, no photoshop tricks involved :-)

This image was captured just after sunrise. I was using a Panasonic Lumix GX8 with a Lumix DG 100-400mm F/4-6.3 lens set to 300mm (equivalent to 600mm on a full frame camera). The lens foot (+ camera) was on a monopod and I used ‘back button’ autofocus on the figures. The camera was set to Aperture priority f/8 giving a 1/200th of a second exposure at ISO 200 with daylight white balance. The RAW processing and final adjustments were all done in Photoshop CC.
