The sun has been absent for the past few days so it was a bit of a pleasure that when I let the dogs out for the first bit of fresh air of the day that I saw a glow to the east. It wasn't much as we had a bit of fog lingering. However, the potential was there so I dashed inside for the camera. Even in the few short moments the colour in the sky had enhanced. I hot footed it out of the front gate and into the snow covered field to ensure the shot had a decent subject in front of the by now glowing sun. For a few brief moments I stood and fired off a number of shots. The camera was set on "manual" as it is for most of the time, and I adjusted the exposure to bracket the images. A little underexposure tends to capture the colours and not burn out the highlights.

The pastel colours were enhanced by the mist and of course the snow's blue hue complimented the sky. This just shows that a compact camera can do a pretty decent job even in difficult conditions.
Later on in the day I took the dogs for a walk over towards Loups Hill, Cotherstone Moor. I was looking for the possibilites for future subjects, either as photographs or paintings. Sadly the light was no where near as good as this mornings but the cloud did produce a good backdrop to this desolate barn.
The Desolate Barn.
Potential for future work and luckily enough its only a short distance from home so I can pop over there at short notice.
