One Day Later…
The weather has taken a turn for the worse with heavy rain and high winds.
I am working from home today so it gave me a chance to photography the trees in my back garden a day later in the bad weather.
Camera App Try Out
Yesterday shooting from the patio window, into a well lit scene, gave a good opportunity to shoot some comparison images using my favoured camera apps on my iPhone 4.
Clicking on the images will open the original full size images, so you can check the actual quality of the shots.

Trees in our Back Garden
The light was falling nicely on the trees in our back garden.

The village where I live is very quiet on New Years Day.

Hiking Food
Whilst Christmas shopping in Aldi, I picked up a few things for my walking trip to Aviemore in mid-January.
The microwave rice (just heat it in a pot with a couple of spoons of water – you do not need a microwave) looked more interesting than the last varieties I bought and the same for the flavours of the instant noodles.
The Racer bar is like a Snickers bar but with more peanuts and a better size for snacking on when walking.
I also bought some coffee creamer powder and made up a creamer/freeze-dried coffee mix in a small nalgene bottle (2 spoons of creamer to 1 spoon of coffee) as the only pre-mixed sachets I could find in the shop were the sweetened variety.
Bank Holiday Walk
I had a short walk out east of Newark on Bank Holiday Tuesday – the light was just right as I passed through Stapleford Woods.
The above image was taken with Camera+, but the original was very dark in the foreground. I then used the Camera+ “Clarify” function to lighten the foreground without losing the sun burst.
All images made with my iPhone 4, including post processing and cropping.
Bob Heil Audio Files
I have added some MP3 files to the Downloads page, of an interview with Bob Heil and a presentation he gave to the Lincoln Short Wave Club last week.
