The occasional blog of a journeyman photographer
The walled garden at Ickworth is much larger that the one at Wimpole. But much of it isn't in use, turned over to lawn rather than food and flowers. There are several large, disused glasshouses, that are slowly being reclaimed by nature. Lots of peeling paint, stagnant water, rust and brambles. The sort of derelict scene that appeals to many photographers. They certainly did to me.
As well as my IR camera, I also had my Fuji X100vi, which I used for some shots of the inside of the house.
I used a rare day off to make my first visit to Ickworth House. It was a hot sunny day, conditions that lent themselves to infra-red photography. Lots of subjects to choose from. Apart from the impressive main house, I particularly enjoyed the large walled garden.
