Amazing capture! I can't believe we did not capture more considering how many we saw with our naked eye in the fov of our camera's

to to edit you need 250 posts mate

Many thanks! Image was taken on a Canon 7D through a Sigma 10-20mm, 30s / F3.5 @ 800ISO

Love my sigma 10-20mm, awesome lens!

[robbie c]

That's a beauty well done

Very nice composition.

[dtokez]

Thanks all. Wish I didn't have so much grass in the composition but was working with the tripod down so the camera was almost on the ground. Certainly a nice place to view from though

Composition is very personal, subjective thing, and I personally like the grass in the foreground. It gives me a feeling of solidity, that you really were there. I have the Canon 10-22 and often like to exploit the massive range of focus that a very wide angle lens offers.

[Psychobilly]

FWIW I think the composition Links earth and sky nicely... Another fan of the Sigma 10-20 here I have it in Nikon fit but went for the Tamron 10-24 instead when I moved over to Canon ..

I have a Nikon to EF adaptor so can use the sigma quite easily as in Nikon form it has a manual aperture ring...
