Biddulph Grange Gardens in Infra-Red

Last week we paid a visit to this National Trust property – it is mostly gardens as the bulk of the building is privately owned apartments. As I have taken many photos of this property in colour, I decided to use my infra-red converted camera again. Here are some of the results:

The Grange from the viewpoint above the Dahlia Walk
A view of the Stumpery – this doesn’t work well in Infra-Red. 3 images stitched together like a panorama
The Grange from a high point in the garden
The Chinese Temple
The Grange from the side of the lake
The Cheshire Cottage. A 2-image vertical panorama

I do think the presence of a building or other structure does enhance the infra-red views.

Technical note:- Camera: 20Mp cropped format sensor mostly running at ISO200. Lens: Film era 24mm. Filter 850nm. All images taken in Raw format and processed in Photoshop. Panorama Stitching: Autopano Pro.
