My 5D (KM) is back from being repaired and waiting for it was a Sigma 10-20mm lens. So what else do I test it on but the Lovell telescope close to sunset today.
This is a HDR image from 5 images (+/- 4,2,0 EV), combined in Photomatix.

A remarkable sight! I've never seen this telescope look so beautiful!

Superb work! the HDR is very effective, very well done.

Cheers, I must admit the 10-20 is lots of fun and it seems pretty sharp too when stopped down a bit.
Just read up about HDR so this is what it looks like in all its glor and work? Great shot and work!!
Wow! This beats every other image of the Lovell telescope into a cocked hat!
Absolutely stunning!

Excellent image. The red spot near the path looks like lens flare to me - ? worth cloning out?
Steve
A very striking image. I have to agree with Steve that the lens flare should be removed though.

Fantastic Ant - like the wide angle and high view point!
Can't help thinking it looks slightly unatural however with the colour and blending, still - it's beautifully composed and the numbers of different elements make it spot on...
Inspiring work from both you and the 5D
Isn't that 'lens flare' the sculpture of rhe sun that quite a few took photos of???

Spectacular image of that great instrument set against the setting sun. Perfect use of the HDR.
Antonio
Goodness, cheers all for the comments. Yes Gilly the 'lens flare' below the Sun is our Sun sculpture (though there is some real flare to the left of it near the 'pagoda').
Caleb, yes as ever HDR can give this over saturated look - it is quite dramatic when you compare the results with the original frames. I try to resist going too far but it is very easily done!
A wonderfully striking composition, with such glorious light!

WOW!!!! Terrific image and vantage point, looks quite surreal. Real life Sci Fi!! Bill.
this works well in wide angle as it creates a sence of scale, I like the sun light hitting the telescope..
well done on the sunset. ian

This is quite simply outstanding. I've seen images on EPZ not even a tenth as good as this qith over 100 votes. You must have been well chuffed with this image and an incredible amount of detail.
I've been, I saw, I photographed (but didn't better!)
Andrew.
