Summer at the Lakes I

Summer at the Lakes I by Steve Castle.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I've still got the IR filter superglued to the front of the 10-20 but today was a lovely sunny day - perfect for a spot of Infrared. Cosmeston was packed, so I found a couple of secluded spots to take some shots, down by the water's edge.

I love the movement of the water mid-frame on this one. I used the channel mixer swapping method to get the blues.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Lush. Blue hues one white in this are stunning. Movement in the reeds and grass is also very nice! I've been in work most of the day :(

I'm gonna have to get me an IR filter these last few shots have been fab and I think this is my favourite so far. I never thought cosmeston could look like that.

Cool! Love the movement in this one Steve, the water movement is really lovely as much as the grass and trees. This spot feels familiar, have you taken one from here before? Good colours again.

Not from this spot Rob, this is up at the second lake near the bird watching hide but a bit further along the waters edge... I was in Chepstow mode... edging along through the bushes but with less mud!!
