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.
More IR. A few shots from Wimpole taken a couple of weekends ago. This time rendered in monochrome.
Another set of IR images, this time from a longer stroll around Cambridge. All of my channel swaps have been done using DxO PhotoLab 7, which I find easier to use for this than Photoshop, and with a more interesting colour range.
A small selection of colour-swapped IR shots taken on a short stroll beside the river in Bedford.
I tried to go to the centre of Cambridge over the May bank holiday, but it was far to busy. Instead, I settled for a walk around the West Cambridge Site. It was a bright contrasty day. Perfect for the infra-red camera.
I recently had a short break in the Lake District. I started off with 2 nights in a Travelodge just outside Penrith, before moving to Grassmere Village for 3 nights in much nicer accommodation. The main purpose of the trip was to knock another 6 hills off my 'to do' list (190 done, 24 to go), but I did leave one free day for photography. On this day, I chose to take a circular walk around Grassmere and Rydal Water.
The weather for the whole trip was better than deserved, in mid-October, in the Lakes. But, this was a largely overcast day. Even this far north, the unseasonably warm September/October meant that there was still little colour change to be seen in the leaves. I chose to concentrate on IR images with converted Canon 40D and either a 24mm or a 50mm prime.
I was in London last weekend and took a stroll along the South Bank with my IR converted Canon 40D. These images were taken behind the Tate Modern and at More London.
After visiting a (frankly disappointing) food festival in Oundle last Saturday, I decided to go on to the nearby National Trust property of Lyveden. I haven't done much IR photography recently, so I wanted to concentrate on that.
