Brentor Church wind...

It's quite an easy climb to get up level with the church and although it's only 330 metres above sealevel nevertheless it can be quite windy.
Photographers who have spotted the rather bizarre EXIF info (1/4000 and IS0 3200) with this shot will be wondering what on earth was going on? Well, having just come out of the unlit church the ISO was accidentally left set at its maximum. It was a combination of rapidly changing light conditions outdoors with just one or two patches of sunshine only very briefly coming through two layers of clouds and also the problem of the buffetting winds that conspired to help me forget to reset the ISO. Of course I discovered this soon after when the camera refused to take a shot. So remember... sometimes AUTO really is what we need :-)
