My Village in Infrared

Some infrared images of my village, Toft in Cambridgeshire, on a changeable day this week. Managed the entire walk without getting wet which was an achievement - as you see from the very large puddles everywhere, we have had a lot of rain. 

Panels 2 Windy City

The second panel I worked on was almost straight from the camera and so had very little processing time before printing. Taken on a  windy day in Docklands, London. It was so windy that it was difficult to hold the camera still so I decided on a slowish shutterspeed and to deliberately move the camera up during the exposure. I got so entralled by the colours and abstract images produced that I lost the rest of the group several times. Images 3 and 4 don't fit that well with the other three 'tree' images - will have to return and try and find some more sometime.

 

Winter Walk at Wimpole Estate

Very enjoyable walk in the sunshine at Wimpole Estate yesterday morning wih my full-spectrum camera.

Sunlit Winter Woodland

Rory's Wood at Paxton was looking its best this afternoon with the low sunlight filtered by a canopy of golden leaves falling on the bright green ferns and the golden and green sedges and grasses. There are quite a few fungi about, particularly the Candlesnuff fungus and some small brackets. More creative fungi attempts to follow, The first photo made me think of hot Mediterranean Olive Groves rather than a chilly English Woodland!!

Misty Afternoon at Bradgate Park

The mist hung around all day yesterday and added a soft quality to the light for photography. There are some wonderful old oak and Sweet Chestnut trees there and, as usual during this month, some very large parasol toadstools in all the grassy areas. The flowers, including delicate harebells, are enjoying a bit of moisture after a hot dry summer
