Waggon and Horses, 2009

Once in a while you take a picture that you like but which has some frustrating deficiencies. This photograph of a pub interior dates from a period when I casually used a tiny Pentax Optio S30 digital camera, a very handy and surprisingly capable instrument yet with a user interface I found difficult to master.

Recently I started using the application Lightroom and was thrilled to find that even with low resolution JPEGs it could dig out detail hitherto obscured and improve exposure and vibrancy by a considerable degree.
