Faux infra-red trials – 2

Here’s the second infra-red test, this time on a building, a temple at Stowe. Perhaps not such a pronounced effect as the statue picture, but then again real IR photographs don’t always work, it depends on the light and subject. >>©<<

Faux infra-red trials

S13’s new yearly book project has been announced, and I fancy approaching it from an infra-red point of view. Now, not having a spare camera to convert or wanting to go down the road of filters, I thought I would see if I can come up with some settings via Photoshop and NIK that could … Continue reading Faux infra-red trials →

Out and About

Yesterday I went to Whipsnade Zoological Gardens in Bedfordshire. I went there last year with the family, but this time it would be purely to take photographs. I used the D7100 and partnered it with a 70-210 f/2.8 zoom, which on an APS-C D7100 would mean it was acting like a 105-315 zoom. This is … Continue reading Out and About →

Out and About

Today's photograph is from Charlecote Park where I went on Wednesday after an abortive attempt to go to Compton Verney to see the Martin Parr exhibition.

There were new as well as old faces there all eager to get the group up and going. We had … Continue reading Busy day →

Out and About

Mrs M, Miss M and I decided to have a walk around Packwood House estate this afternoon. One of my reasons for wanting to get out and about was to try out an old Vivitar Series 1 zoom lens on my D7100. The lens is in mint condition and is a version 3, 70 – … Continue reading Out and About →

Out and About

This weekend Mrs M and I took the first trip this year down to Batsford Arboretum, just outside Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire. We like to go and have a look at the gardens and trees a few times a year to take in the fabulous colours that swap and change through the seasons. The Arboretum is … Continue reading Out and About →
