I had to drop Diana off at the bus station early this morning, so I took advantage of being out and had a couple of hours walk along the River Witham near Washingborough. It was a grey, dull, warm morning it was not good light for landscape photos. However this light had virtually no shadows and it showed some interesting details and subtle colours in my shots.
Here it has revealed the colour and shape of this thistle and emphasised the sharpness of the leaves.
In this shot the light was great for showing up the variety of greens in the trees and bank side.

This evening as I was driving back from a call out in Retford there was a huge “Lincolnshire skies” sunset. I had to pull over on the A57 to photograph it.
First in one way, for the classic sunset with clouds:
and then from the opposite direction. A reflection of the sunset.
As the sunset was developing I was looking for somewhere to stop that was open,and was lucky to come across the perfect layby that gave me nearly uninterrupted views to the horizons. I was very careful to steady myself against the car as I used the HDR Pro app on my iPhone 5, so I could retain some detail in the land but still record the dramatic colours.
HDR Pro is my “go to” camera app for many of my landscape photographs. To get good results you must hold the camera very steady, but when you do the results are spectacular.

My work today was up near the Cathedral. This shot was taken just a minute or two before the cloudburst.
