Sunday afternoon walk

Six of us (plus one dog) were walking the 6.5 km from one side of

these hills to the other. Good path most of the way, though we had to

pick our way through a substantial peat bog at one point. The path,

still called Old Petty Harbour Road, is one of the oldest roads in

these parts; it joined two of the oldest settlements, St. John's and

Petty Harbour. People probably walked this road 400 or 450 years ago.



Kodak ColorPlus 200 film shot in Olympus OM10 on its Auto exposure

setting (aperture priority). When pasting pictures together into this

kind of panorama, it's a bad idea to start with Auto exposure. To get

a semblance of similarity in the two skies, I had to do a fair bit of

"curves" adjustment. The OM10 is an SLR whose exposures are normally

fully automatic; I have the manual adaptor that I could have used but

didn't. If I'd done the exposure manually, the two skies would have

been more or less the same.
