Canon 5D, 40 mm, ISO 200, 3.2 sec @ f/5.6

For the first time in a while I managed to get out with the camera and spend an hour or so wandering round. I came across some playing fields and spent some time exploring. Next to the playing fields is a a cemetery and completely in line with the penalty spot and the centre of the goal is a large stone cross, perhaps offering divine intervention and an unfair advantage for any believer about to take a penalty…

I’ve had a couple of ideas for a project to start working on and there are irons in fires so hopefully something will happen, or even ‘kick off’ to use relevant terminology but I’ll just have to wait and see…

As an aside this image is actually my first attempt at HDR, generated from 5 images and merged within Adobe Lightroom. I’m not normally a fan of the overly synthetic look that HDR delivers but it seems to be OK here. The final image was then adjusted using the LW Warm Tone template from LensWork Online. I absolutely love this tone and spent ages trying to match it until I discovered it was available to download!
