Location: Lake District National Park near Stainton, Cumbria @ sunrise. I had just walked to the next field to the sheep farm we were camping in, just to the top of a small rise, and set up the equipment. Although we did not see much sunshine in our short stay, I was fortunate to be able to capture this image.

This image was captured using a tripod mounted Canon 5DmkII with a 100~400mm F/5.6L lens set at 100mm. I auto focused on the closest part of the wall and set the switch to manual focus. The camera was set to manual exposure mode, f/8, ISO 100, and daylight white balance. I then captured a series of 11 exposures from 1 second all the way up to 1/1000th of a second in one-stop increments. The RAW processing, creating and saving the HDRI was all done in Photoshop CS/4. The HDRI was then opened and tone mapped in Photomatix Pro before the final clean-up and image correction/enhancement work was done back in Photoshop.
