Saints Preserve Us
Saints preseve us, it is Friday the 13th. (to mix my superstitions).
This is actually taken on the Isle of Lindisfarne in Northumerland, Holy Island in the vernacular. A straight forward shot of interesting detail in the ruins of a 13th century monastery…one of the sites that had a lot to do with preserving civilization as we know it during the dark ages. Not totally inappropriate for a Friday the 13th.
Sony DSC H50 at about 180mm equiv. F3.5 @ 1/60th @ ISO 100. Programed Auto.
Basic processing (Clarity, Vibrance, Sharpen) in Lightroom. One of the issues in a low light exposure with the H50, especially where you have silhouettes as in this image, is Chromatic Aberation (green and pink lines at the edges of things) and Purple Fringing (a sensor artifact that puts a purple fringe along edges). This image showed both (still shows come on close examination). Lightroom has filters that work well, but in extreme cases even Lightroom can not cure the whole problem. And if that isn’t a a Friday the 13th nightmare, what is?
From Scotland.
