Photo-Bimble

I went out for a ride this afternoon to get in a few miles, and to take some more photographs to test out the camera on my new phone. It was a bright day, with clouds and sunny spells, so there was lots of contrast on offer. These are pretty challenging conditions for photography.

Here are a few of the resulting frames. These are all straight from the camera, with no post processing. And, naturally, no optical filters were used in the making of these photos.

The Globe pub in Alresford.

Bighton Wood

Harvested fields between Bighton and Medstead

More harvested fields from Common Hill, Medstead

Woods near Dummer

I'd probably reduce the exposure of the woods, because it was quite dark in there. Here's how the picture looks with the brightness reduced. I just used the Photos app in Windows.

The woods with reduced brightness

 

 That sky looks threatening!

Ferns in the verge

 Just one of many thatched cottages in the area. This one is in North Waltham.

Combine Harvester above Hunton

Harvesting is well under way on the Hampshire prairies!

More thatched cottages, this time in Hunton village.

The light at Stoke Charity was gorgeous!

The Dever at Stoke Charity

Once again, this photo of the river Dever, flowing through Stoke Charity, looks a little over exposed. Here is how it looks with the brightness reduced.

The pond at Stoke Charity. Exposure in the sky has been held particularly well.

Stoke Charity church.

Overall, these are pretty encouraging. Still seems as though it should be feasible just to use my phone for photos on the rides.
