Walk to Potterhanworth Wood

I went for a short walk across the fields to Potterhanworth Woods – taking a short break there for some coffee before heading home and beating the thunder storm.

It was a chance to photograph the last of the poppies as they fade away and the fields before they are harvested.

No backpack or stove today – I took a flask and instant coffee in a Molle water bottle case on a shoulder strap and carried the essential waterproof jacket in the back pocket on my Rohan vest. I had plastic sheet to sit on, which when rolled up slipped into the Molle loops.

I tried some Kenco Millicano coffee today – in individual sachets – and it was OK, even Richard who is “particular” about his coffee thought it was alright.

Today’s Photo

I managed to shoot this in our garden just minutes before a huge thunder and hail storm hit Branston.

I used the Camera+ app – it has a useful function to split the exposure and focus points – so I could focus on the central flower but expose for the lighter right hand flower.

Then to lift the image I used the Clarify filter in the Camera+ Lightbox. Below is the original image.

…and here is the rain through the patio window.

Flower

I got this shot minutes before a heavy rain shower – so it was very overcast. I processed the shot using Photogene2 and the high contrast mono filter I created in the app.
