Roach End Barn Starburst

Roach End Barn Sunset | Peak District Photography
The photogenic photographers favourite of the abandoned and run down barn at Roach End, the Roaches in the Staffordshire part of the Peak District National Park.
I hadn't planned to shoot a starburst but the sun was setting quite quickly and it was obvious it would soon disappear behind some cloud at the horizon. The composition of the rear of the barn lent itself to a nice view and as the sun peaked through the tree branches the effect was to create the sunstar. The trick is to keep changing camera positions to ensure the sun is still visible through a gap. You'd be surprised how fast the sun moves when you're chasing the perfect shot.
