Chippenham Park in Infrared

We visited Chippenham Park, mostly for the wonderful snowdrop displays this year, but, following a talk on retaining colour in infrared images, I decided to give my infrared converted Canon 1D-II an outing. Working at f1.8 to prevent a hot spot means depth of field is difficult. The third image is colour (and exposure)-reversed in Lightroom giving quite an eerie night-time feel to the image

 

Snowdrops at Chippenham Park

We enjoyed a visit to Chippenham Park for the snowdrop weekend today in beautiful warm sunshine. The flowers were at their best. Images 4 and 5 show the difference in the image that you get from normal viewing height and from using the camera close to the ground.

The snowdrops are not quite at their best at Chippenham Park so I spent a bit of time with the frost on leaves and ice patterns including bubbles frozen into the ice.
