I went for a short walk west of Branston this afternoon.

The weather took a turn for the worst – cold and windy. I found a convenient log to sit on, to boil some water for soup.

It was a struggle to get the stove to light in the wind and even with the wind shield it took over 30mls of meths to heat the water – which did not quite reach boiling! I will have to take this into account when packing fuel for my back packing trips – I might not be allowing enough fuel on my packing list.

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.
