3/5 #infrared miscellany

Here's a footbridge across the Grand Union #Canal in Boston Manor (w London). It's "probably by Thomas Telford" - the great civil engineer - and dates from 1820. Cast at Horseley Iron Works near Birmingham.

It may have taken its name from a man found hanged in #BostonManor woods, c. 17th century.

An #infrared shot with two edits - this is the colour version, see the reply for the monochrome.

I'm mainly going for black and white #ir shots these days, but I can't make up my mind about this one.

It's a #590nm 4 shot panorama on my full spectrum Sony A7ii with a #Konica35mmf2 lens. (I was too lazy to change the lens to the 21mm) and taken last Monday in winter sunshine in Raphael Park in #Romford.

The last in this set (though I've taken a lot of IR lately so there will be more) is a fence by a small open space called Chigwell Meadows.

A proper footpath across a farmer's field right on the edge of London near Grange Hill station - London's third least used. #Konica35mmf2 lens on my #fullspectrum Sony A7ii. 590nm clip-in filter.

This is a four shot panorama 590nm infrared #blackandwhite snaps taken on a walk from Grange Hill to Buckhurst HIll. This is in the nature reserve between the Roding and the M11. #Konica35mmf2 lens on my #fullspectrum Sony A7ii.

5/5 Konica 35mmf2 All owners of vintage manual lenses must add a wide-open fence/railings snap to their flower photo.

Here's a bokeh photo of some fine railings in Marylebone (close to the house with the John Lennon plaque).

4/5 Konica 35mmf2 Some people only use vintage lenses wide open for a shallow depth of field, but they were built to use stopped down too.

Looking up at the City of Westminster College building on Paddington Green.

2/5 Konica 35mmf2 Here are some tulips on #Paddington Green with a statue of actor Sarah Siddons proving a #bokeh background.

The lens is stopped down a bit for this. Little would have been in focus and the statue blurred away wide-open.

1/5 Konica 35mmf2 This week I'm sharing 5 snaps all taken with the same lens on a walk through #Marylebone and Paddington yesterday.

Here's a table ready for a Coronation street party at St Mary's Church Marylebone.

I can't remember whether the lens was wide open or stopped down a little here, but it's a terrific performer. I got a good price as the aperture blades were seized up, but it turned out to be a 10 minute fix.
