Welney at 'Sunset'

As often happens, a bank of cloud developed low down so we didn't see the sun actually set but, before it went behind the cloud, the colours were spectacular across the water, varying from golden to deep cyan. Not the best shots technically but it gives an idea of colours.

Seasonal Thoughts

As November 11th approaches, some multiexposure images some that show harmony of tones and others where opposites in terms of textures, colours etc can unite illustrating a desire for peace in the world. 

Deer at Sunset, Bradgate Park

Some images from a 2-day visit to Bradgate Park - these taken yesterday at the sunset showing the effects on contrast and colours of sunshine versus shadow, and side, front or backlighting.

West Cambridge Site

A few images taken on my walk through the West Cambridge site yesterday on the Full-spectrum camera. Generally greens are not recorded but here the canopy has cut out enough red wavelengths to permit the green to register quite intensely (well I think that is the reason!). 

Full-spectrum photography at Cambridge Botanic Gardens

Most full-spectrum digital cameras can detect some ultraviolet, all of the visible and much of the near infrared spectrum (350 nm to 1000 nm). However, the longer infrared waves are recorded the strongest and remove much of the visible light in the blue and green areas in a full spectrum photograph. Here are some examples from a day in the Cambridge Botanic Gardens yesterday. Interested how the Greenbottle's metallic colours recorded so strongly despite the background information above!. The first image, taken with a lot of green foliage overhead cutting out some of the shorter wavelengths, reminded me of trips to northern Scandinavia and the views as our small plane came into land!!
