🌄 Sunrise at St Benet’s Abbey – River Bure, Norfolk
Taken just before sunrise on a misty morning beside St Benet’s Abbey, Norfolk. Conditions were ideal—dense fog softening the background, still water for reflections, and the sun rising cleanly through the haze.
Technical Details:
📷 Canon 6D Mark II
🔍 Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art, shot at 60mm
🔧 ISO 100 | f/11 | Tripod-mounted
🖥️ 3-exposure blend (manual blend in Lightroom & Photoshop) to preserve detail in both shadows and highlights without overcooking the glow.
Cropped to 16:9 for a cinematic feel. I kept the processing subtle—minimal contrast adjustments, slight clarity lift in midtones, and warm balance to retain the natural tones of the fog and early light.
Would love feedback from fellow photographers—composition, blending, color choices? Always open for critique.
