Caption

A scene like the one in the the German evening song "Der Mond ist aufgegangen", but without the moon and stars, here in the english translation:

The moon is risen, beaming,
The golden stars are gleaming
So brightly in the skies;
The hushed, black woods are dreaming,
The mists, like phantoms seeming,
From meadows magically rise.

Equipment

Sony a7R4, Samyang 12mm fisheye, PTGui pro, Photoshop

Behind the scene

When I walk home from my workshop, I come past this meadow, located in a flood control reservoir between Freiburg and Günterstal. That evening, the fog rose from the wet grass. I had my camera with me, but no tripod. So I tried handheld HDR and took exposure series in almost darkness, pushing the camera to its limits. It turned out quite well and captures the mood nicely.
