Wrest Park 3

I was using a full spectrum camera at Wrest Park, which is a modified camera that has had the internal infrared (IR) blocking filter removed, allowing it to capture the full range of light—ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR). Often these cameras are used with different wavelength filters to capture particular wavelengths for monochrome work. I was using mine without filters and doing adjustments to colour in lightroom.

Wrest Park Gardens 1

 Yesterday's skies were ideal for a visit to Wrest Park and the use of Infrared/Full spectrum photography. This is the first set and are from an infrared-converted (720nm) Sony RX100  .  

To quote ' 'Wrest Park is an exceptional rarity – a magnificent house of the 1830s, set in an outstanding restored garden landscape originating in the 17th century. The house itself is remarkable, a near unique example of 19th-century English architecture following the style of an 18th-century French chateau. Its grounds are a glorious amalgam of three centuries of English garden design, and contain one of the few remaining formal gardens of the early 18th century.'

Unusual Angles in Toft

Motivated by a Camera Club project, I took my Fuji X100V on a walk round Toft taking images from the ground, looking up, looking down etc. For close ups, I attached a 250X close-up filter.
