From the fens

[singingsnapper]

i am working with a colleague for a day or two along the southern fens of Lincolnshire. I left my "proper" cameras in my hotel, but regretted wit when we grabbed some warm afternoon air in the afternoon as a storm approached. I used what I had to hand which was my Iphone 4S which didn't make a bad job of it, and processed it in CS5 using Viveza to boost the saturation and contrast a little:

I'll put the settings down but obviously the iphone decided these for me: f/2.4 1/1500 ISO 64

Thanks mate! The best camera is always the one you have in your hand at the time an opportunity arises. Amazingly the storm didn't last long and the bulk of it passed to the North of us. Had some rain but suspect people around Grantham got a good soaking.

Here is an edit with the Horizontal electric lines cloned out. They don't actually bother me in the original but thought I'd have a go at removing them

Back in Lincolnshire , and took a short stroll around Stamford. I was more overcast than I would have liked. There are some interesting lanes and streets and also a good view from the area known as The Meadows
