Smartphones need some help to catch special lighting The dynamic range just isn't there so it needs to be told what's most important

 Quite a dull day up on Dartmoor near the Wiilsworthy firing range. Just a little bit of dappled sunshine on the moor below the dome-shaped Great Nodden and out towards Great Links Tor.

Very scenic, but dangerous cliffs mean you must keep children safe. The dry S eastern end of it (as you come in from Princetown) is much bigger. Great photo opportunities from the top though depending on the direction of the sun. Take a real wide angle lens with you, or a smartphone, or you'll end up like me here having to stitch a pano from an 18-70 kit lens to fit it all in. I also wanted to cut the glare and reflections to make the water more transparent, and it's the only lens my rotary polariser fits
Foggintor Quarry - bigger than you might think

Time to start going back, about a mile and a quarter to the road.
