I remember this day very well. I had been out all day working with horses and came home to peace, quiet and a cup of Earl Grey tea. I was upstairs watching in the distance the Virgin train heading for Edinburgh and happened to notice this wonderful gold light streaking across the landscape. I ran downstairs to get my camera and was lucky enough to still catch the light.

I am living in the US now and really miss seeing sheep in the fields. Luckily enough I go back to the UK regularly for work and so still get to see the sheep.

PP work
This is one of my 'challenges', as I only had my little point and shoot Pentax and the overall quality of the image is not great in terms of focus and colour etc. So, I focused on the best feature-the light across the landscape. Very dark in the foreground, can't be helped.
Photofiltre --crop, sharpen, gamma, re size, frame.
Thank you to Peter (Peterhannington) for the tutorial on how to salvage this image.

Hi Joni
A challenge very well accomplished. This is really lovely. The sunlight is wonderful going across the fields. And also the sky is lovely too.
A very calming, peaceful photo.
I love the framework too. Looks like it should be on my wall and not my monitor.
Well done on the hard work and TFS.

Hello Joni,

Beautiful capture.
Lighting and composition are excellent.

So very English Joni. An almost watercolour effect achieved with the soft colour tones and light. An excellent POV, good detail and well presented. TFS,
David

hi Joni

So nice to see the golden yellow patches on the ground out of the green landscape, it is quite interesting contrast. Nicely composed to show the sheep and the sky tone.

Perhaps I would just include a little bit wider to frame both trees fully, but sometimes excitement can make us forget about extra few seconds to adjust the camera.

tfs, bill

Bonjour Joni,

I can so imagine you missing this Joni!
I have never lived in the UK but I must say that when I'm there I feel very much at home.
I really love views like this.

You have managed to capture the light very well and the view is really great... A wonderful place and a wonderful picture.

Cheers,
Anneke

Is this east yorkshire? It seems very flat. When I come back to England I like travelling on the M11 and seeing the gentle rolling country. The light is nice but I think the light in the UK often has a special quality. The dark fg helps provide a nice contrast against the light. Its strange how you miss the english sheep in N America. We have a ceramic pair of sheep we brought back from the UK to remind us of the old country. TFS Nice work
Warm regards
David
