I've come back home.
High Dynamic Range, it's quite popular at the moment......it's a blending of three/five or even seven exposures to make a final image that has a full tonal range, I make five, 0 -2, -4 +2 +4 and use photomatix pro

You have to be careful though, cos it can end up looking ghastly.

You take multiple (three here) photos with different "brightnesses". So for this photos one too bright so the poppies look nice but the sky is too bright, one about right and one too dark so the sky and sun look good but everything else is too dark.

Using a program (photoshop here) it merges the three images and allows you to choose which brightness levels you want from each images giving you a "perfect" image.

Awesome photo. Will have to have a little try at HDR when I get the time.

Not sure about the sun in the top left corner, Poppys look nice though.

If he'd waited until it disappeared it might have got a bit dark.

Oh really?

I thought the one 351st from the left was slightly out of focus.

It will do for me as a screensaver, thanks for sharing sebtucknott :)
