Rainbow – The Viking Way
There is a fountain in the lake at the campsite and the low early morning sun gave us an exclusive rainbow.

Walking – The Viking Way
With the end if the summer camping season rapidly approaching, and with the next two weekends booked with a server change over for a client, I have planned a short backing trip to the regular Camping and Caravan Club site near Woodhall Spa using the Viking Way.
This is also a busy weekend as I have to finish a proposal for a client to provide an integrated email solution between an office in the UK and locations in Southern Africa both in the cities and in more remote places – so using our cloud server I am planning to work that this evening on my iPhone.

The Viking Way
This sign is not as accurate as it could be – it looks like the path follows the line of the hedge, when actually the path is marked and heads across the middle of the field.
the sign is at the junction shown in the map clip as you approach the abbey ruins from Fiskerton
the path is very distinct when looking back

This is definitely a Friday photo!
This afternoon I have been configuring an Android tablet and as I was leaving the client I passed this – it had to be a Friday photo.

The Bell at Coleby
This morning I was at The Bell at Coleby helping them get to grips with some software they are using.
Their beer garden has a great selection of very photographic objects, making it easier for me to find a photo of the day.
This photograph was taken with the latest version of Camera+, cropped in the app’s Lightbox and then the light was lifted with the Clarify filter.

Ready for iOS 7 – Camera+
This post is about Camera+, but I need to start by talking about the WordPress app.
It seems that every time I turn my iPhone on apps want to update to “ready for iOS 7”. This has to be a good thing – unless they make a mistake see here. The look and feel of the new WordPress app is good, but some mistakes have crept in, I have found a missing button and as I am writing this post, add a link does not display well in horizontal mode. As I write most of my blog, on my iPhone with this app I hope they fix it soon.
Camera+
The developers of Camera+ have also released an update – ready for the updated iOS – plus adding some great new features.
I used to use Camera+ as my main iPhone camera but a couple of updates back (when I had my iPhone 4) it really slowed down, so I stopped using it and switched to the iPhone camera app, which improved greatly when I later switched to an iPhone 5.
I still used the image editor, Light Box, included with Camera+. I particularly like the Clarify function and the Golden Section crop option.
The new Camera+ offers a couple of new options I want in a camera app.
Quick access to a square format image. I often crop my photos to a square, I like the influence a square frame has on my images. Now I can see the effect, in the camera, as I take the photograph.

The second feature I like is the exposure compensation control. I can now add and take away the exposure in 1/3 stops, just like I could on my real cameras. The results of this manipulation can be seen on the screen before the photo is taken.

I am looking forward to using this updated Camera+ app and it looks like it will go back to being my “go to” camera app.

A few rain drops
As I was leaving a client today, the rain was just starting and I caught just a few on this before it became a deluge.
Note
I updated the WordPress app on my iPhone (in readiness for iOS7) – however someone forgot to include a “Done” button when adding categories to a post. So to get back to editing my post I had to close the app and then reopen it. So WordPress either needs to let me know the secret way to get back to the editor or put the button back.
