Profusion! - a photo on Flickriver

Profusion!

High summer at Fyvie Castle. The steps up to the loch-side walk. Despite the long, hot, dry summer there was still plenty of cool shade here.
HFF! And have a great weekend ;o)

I got some new Infrared kit this summer, to extend the range of what I can capture. I use converted cameras rather than placing filters over the lens. This was the first outing for the small, light Sony a5000 with the 850nm filter. I attached a 200mm telephoto lens and shot as we walked round the small loch. The a5000 has no inbuilt EVF which makes it difficult to see what you're shooting in bright sunlight ...so it was a bit hit and miss!

Other news - I managed to rescue all the data from my 'access denied'portable hard drive. Huge relief! It took days using an old XP laptop. I always used to keep data in several places. An old hand told me years ago "if it's not in 3 places it doesn't exist" and that was wise advice. I guess I've become lazy as the photo store has grown so big, and solid state disks have become more reliable. But I guess tech can always crash and burn .... the recent banking IT problems should have alerted me ;o)

Anyway I am happily looking through the store that, like Topsy, just grows and grows! I keep promising to thin it all out ... but somehow the joys of going out and shooting some more always wins out!

But this weekend I plan to catch up with you all, and see what lovely photos I've missed this week ... a real treat for me!
