Sun Wheat as Seen on TV

This was taken yesterday morning 28th July in a wheat field next to a footpath in Pagham about half a mile from home. I emailed a copy to BBC South Today the local News Programme. They choose from all the submissions 3 pictures to show on TV before the regional weather forecast with a credit. Seem to be on a bit of a roll with publicity this week with my Pier picture being on the BBC Website on Monday

For the best viewpoint used my Samyang 8mm fisheye lens. The picture was taken by placing the camera down in the wheat, retreating to avoid being in the picture and then triggering the shutter with a wireless remote. 3 images bracketed for HDR at 2EV. The shot was taken with a gap in the wheat from tractor tyres and at about 10.00am so the sun could be in the picture.

The images were processed in Photomatix for HDR using fusion natural preset with some adjustments. In addition I used Topaz Clarity and cut down on the excess blue in the sky with a saturation adjustment layer with layer mask

Extra detail brought in with unsharp mask amount 20 and radius 40.
