This is from our holiday to Northumberland in August 2013, on a visit to Dunstanburgh Castle, near Craster. I took this one straight into the sun without any filters as an experiment to see how it would turn out. The sun was partly hidden behind hazy cloud, which I hoped would work as a kind of natural filter!
I think I've just about rescued the image in Lightroom, by increasing exposure overall to make the detail in the ground and walls visible, then bringing exposure in the sky right down to minimum with a graduated filter.
I really like the simplicity and mood of the photo.
