Look to the West across Mercia to the Marches. What do you see? A sunset? My Nikon saw three contrasting colours. White, some umber and black. I saw something very different. Indigo, amethyst, violet, magenta. I saw honey, emerald and chartreuse. No lens, flashcard or any other device for that matter made by man can ever come near the tonal range achieved by the human eye. But, with the wonder of modern digital imaging and a careful use of software, it is possible to relive the moment. The image you see here is as close as it gets to what I saw on top of Adams Hill on a chilly October evening. Trekking back a mile to the car in total darkness through a beech wood was a different matter.
