[Scotland 2017] View of Edinburgh from Calton Hill at Sunset

After a couple of days in Glasgow we moved to Edinburgh. Edinburgh is a capital of Scotland and the seat of monarchy in Scotland. This is absolutely stunning city full of great architecture and historical landmarks.

On the very first evening I went on Calton Hill, which is famous for its Edinburgh views. The sunset was great with its red glowing sky, dramatic clouds and soft warm light. I had fantastic view in front of me and I had great light - what else do I need to create photo masterpiece?

I started to shoot and immediately found a problem - the wind was strong and the tree leaves in foreground moved very fast and produced very ugly blurred spots on the photo with my default 1 second exposure. I decided to make 2 shots - one with normal ISO 64 and 1 second exposure and other with high ISO 2000 and 1/60 exposure to freeze the motion of the leaves. And later I just blend these 2 exposures together in photoshop.

Technical details:

Camera	Nikon d810
Lens	Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8
Settings	ISO 64, 70 mm, f/11, 1 second
Other	Blend from 2 shots with different ISO
