Stormy day

Struggling due to teenager induced sleep deprevation and a nuerotic dog barking at the wind for an hour last night. It's a pretty horrible day to be out but Tilly seems to rather be out in the wind and rain instead of growling at it from inside - Definitely a full wet weather gear for walkies.

Not a great deal else achieved - got a new USB stick loaded with Ubunto and other tools to use recovering PCs and lost data - My old 16GByte Lexar gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago.

Cleaned sensors and lenses on my cameras while thinking what I would show today. The old favourite of many was staring at me through the window - So, today is the Acer featured a couple of weeks ago. Was looking for some movement to show the wind while keeping the colour. 50D used with the 100-400mm zoom at 400mm on a tripod. I did this from indoors though, not wanting to get water in the works....

Quite over exposed but without blowing highlights and then levels adjusted in Lightroom - No other colour adjustment but clarity raised a little to make the streaks stand out and a little crop and vignette added.

Now off to cook roast pork, sausage meat stuffing, roast potatoes and caramlised parsnip and veg for dinner - Yummy.
