Beechwoods Wandlebury

Last year I visited the beechwoods at Wandlebury around this time to photograph the White Helleborines and I wanted to try again this year with a different lens. Unfortunately they are not quite out and they are also very small this year, maybe because of the dry conditions. I spent time photography the trees both with my infrared camera and in colour. I converted the colour image to monochrome using maximum green channel to attempt a digital infrared. However, with these bright dappled conditions and the green treetrunks, the result is not very pleasing.

The image taken with the infrared camera is much more striking - the lichen on the bark does not emit as much infrared as the foliage so you get a good separation of trunks and leaves.
Interestingly, an autumn picture taken in the same location converts well to a infrared look alike by using full orange and yellow filtration in a Lightroom conversion to greyscale.

It was wonderful.It is a good article,thank you for sharing it.
More and more people like sports, because of sports can bring them the endless enjoyment.
But I have one suggestion. when you exercise, you must choose suitable clothes.
when you play football sports.It is better to wear player jersey which you loved him.
The Victoria's Secret and shoesis the same important.The comfortable clothes ever,enough to make every day energetic.
An active, energetic young man works like a tiger.
