Walking the moorland at 6am in early fall can be more rewarding than you might imagine. After a mild day, a cold night will produce ground mist which then evaporates as the sun climbs. I watch the weather during the day and check to see what’s in store overnight and in the morning, so I normally have a good idea of whether it’s worth getting up with my Sony camera before the sun rises.
For this shot, I stopped at a few fields looking towards Glastonbury Tor, England. The conditions were perfect with early morning mist, but the composition was lacking – and with the sun rising quickly, I was running out of time. Fortunately, 100m further down the road, I came across a ditch that provided a leading line towards the Tor in the distance.
