Toft Sunrise and Frosty Wood

Sometimes we just have to rejoice in the good things in life like having sheep to talk to and a great sunrise. Yesterday was a clear sunny day from dawn to dusk. I spent the morning in Hardwick Wood which looked magical with the frost and clear light; occasionally spooky and certainly our very large golden retriever was very apprehensive about the Muntjac deer barking and the Buzzards mewing very loudly in the wood.

A walk around Wimpole with dramatic skies and interesting tree shapes - great IR subjects.

Infrared Tales (Tails?) of Toft

However long you (ewe) wait, there is always one that will not face the camera!. These sheep in the field next to our bungalow are always inquisitive if you stand at the gate. Images taken with my SonyRX100-converted camera - no great clarity but I do like the other world feel to the images. The These are RAW files with no profile or colour changes made - just adjustment to 'Tone' and 'Presence' sliders in the Camera Raw panels of Lightroom. I think this would only work on a very dull day.

Almost a White Christmas, Toft Cambridgeshire

Perfect Christmas Day with a heavy frost and then lovely sunshine for the day. Toft looked at its best during our morning woalk, I only took a wide angle lens (10-24mm) which gave a few problems especially when horses decide to come a bit too close - still cleaning the lens!
