YORKSHIRE | Whitby solstice | June 2010 | 45708

June 21st was the longest day, 3 seconds longer than the days either side. As you can see, there was a marvellous show of light after sunset that was still going strongly after 22:00, when this image was made, making it a very long day indeed. I made a similar image here two days before but, on reviewing the composition in my mind later, determined that this was a better way to organise the elements. Tilt/shift, 0.45 soft and 0.3 hard grads, 81D.
