Late Summer Evening at Bulwick

There’s a village called Bulwick, not too far from where I live. I’ve had a keen eye on it for sometime now, but the opportunity to make a landscape image of it has never come to fruition. I had originally found the village with a Milky Way or star trail image in mind, but this evening’s conditions made for an attractive late summer evening image instead. 

The field I really needed to get into was inviting, the farmer's gate open and welcoming, with hay bales strew across the field. The sky was blue with a little cloud interest and the undulating land ahead of my position leads the eye towards the church with a hint of the village buildings beyond. Unfortunately, cloud on the horizon prevented the sun from lighting up the sky with orange and magenta hues, but the thin stratocumulus provided sufficient interest in the top third of the image. I love the complementary colour pairs of the orangey yellow and blue in this image. It was taken with my EOS R and EF 24-105mm L lens set at a focal length of 32mm in a 16:9 ratio format with a 2-stop soft ND grad filter.
