Sunset and Haylage

I got the opportunity to get out of the office this afternoon to collect monitoring equipment. Imagine my delight when the leaden clouds began to break up just as the sun was setting.

I grabbed a few minutes and parked up, walking into a nearby field where these hay bales were still scattered. Initial shots were full of flare so I dropped the height of the tripod and used the bale to block out the direct sunlight. This also has a 0.9 ND grad on the sky.
