Midsummer sunshine means lots and lots of infrared light, perfect for capturing the lush parkland around the National Trusts Hatchlands Park, on the outskirts of Guildford Surrey. I’m still working on how to process my infrared images, getting the channels mixed correctly photoshop is more of a dark art than any kind of reproducible preset filter, but I’m getting better, and this summer has provided plenty of sunshine to practice on … expect a lot more infrared images in the coming days. From a technical standpoint, I’ve made good progress on camera settings. After discovering a strange halo effect in my previous attempts, I’ve found that using my 22mm F2 lens as wide open as possible helps to reduce the halo and any flaring. It’s almost as if Infrared light diffracts much quicker than visible light. On the one hand, this is fine because it means you have a quicker shutter speed, just about allowing for hand held shots during the day, but at a cost of reduced depth of field. #photography #landscapes #nationaltrust #hatchlandspark #summer #Surrey #infrared #processed #forest #woods #woodland #trees (at Hatchlands Park National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB1OEb6pNgC/?igshid=1todsuvze0k14
