Firle Beacon Sunset on the South Downs

by Steve Gordon 8. June 2009 06:47

As promised here is one of the photographs from my recent sunset shoot on Windover Hill. Due to the extreme range of exposure between the sky and the foreground I used 7 shots combined to produce this HDR (High Dynamic Range) shot of Firle Beacon with the setting sun. I'll try to post a few more from the trip as they are processed.

If you want to visit this location for yourself it can be easily accessed from the A27 by taking the Wilmington turn off between Lewes and Polegate. Follow the country road past the Long Man of Wilmington and continue up the hill until you come to a small chalk parking area on the right, with views across to Alfriston. From the car park cross the road and go through the gate which puts on onto the path up to the Long Man. A few yards after the gate on your left you will find the discarded farm machinery used as foreground in this photograph.

I have marked the parking area on this map from Google
