HDR photo of the St John The Baptist Church in Uxbridge. This HDR is comprised of 5 separate exposures (-4, -2, 0, +2, +4) and edited using HDR Efex Pro 2. I hadn't heard of the Nik Collection but Google bought them and made the software free for all. I've been wanted to try this out for a while and now that the sun is setting later and later, it was finally time. On my first take here I didn't even think about taking a HDR shot, in dawned on me afterwards. So it's been a long wait but worth it!

Bridge to Slough Arm, Grand Union Canal. The footbridge gives access from the towpath of the Grand Union Canal to that along its Slough Arm, straight ahead in the photo. See 422229 for a view in January 1977 - mainly different in this spring photo with leaves on the trees looking more pleasant than the earlier one in winter with bare branches.
