Description

Well, winter finally arrived here in Tunbridge Wells (Kent, England) this weekend, which has given me a couple of photo opportunities. On the way back from my little photo expedition, cold and soggy, this was the sight that greeted me - The Grove Tavern, known to the regulars as just 'The Grove' (or sometimes, 'The Grave' - particularly at Halloween). Steve, the landlord, had just opened and was waiting for the first of the afternoon's customers - in this case, me! Just what I needed, a nice warm pub and a pint! Picture info: CAMERA : Nikon E8800 V1.4 METERING : MATRIX MODE : P SHUTTER : 1/169sec APERTURE : F5.6 EXP +/- : 0.0 FOCAL LENGTH : f16.4mm(X1.0) WHITEBAL : AUTO DATE : 27.02.2005 10:54 QUALITY : 3264x2448 EXTRA FOCUS AREA : CENTRE Post processing in Photoshop CS. This mostly consisted of replacing the sky with one from a different image, taken nearby about five minutes earlier, as the actual sky was a completely featureless whiteout.

Samhain74, Thanks for the comments. It's Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in England (I've updated the blurb to include this now). Not a bad place to live, on the whole :)
