18th September 2009 A cloudy Day

A cloudy morning, we went inland to Guisborough to shop, then had a tour around the back lanes where I took a couple of scenic shots before we went to Castleton for the usual Pensioners lunch, which was even better than usual, we had chicken and leak pie with roast potatoes, carrots and runner beans and a Bread and Butter pudding and custard, absolutely great!
We then had a tour round the lanes in the hope that the cloudy sky would clear, but it didn't of course, so we ended up back at the caravan, and Pat rested until tea.
I meanwhile went for a walk doiwn in the direction of Falling Foss.
I was interested in the complex patterns of the wildflowers in seed, here is an exampleAnd experimeted with a shot into the sun taken the previous evening, I wanted to know if using the HDR treatment would recover some of the lost tonal range that you can't get by RAW conversions, here is the Raw conversionAnd here is the HDR

Despite the indifferent weather we had had another good day.
