A Modern Church in Partial Colour Infrared


Introduction


Here are some IR shots I took today of a huge church that is near me. I am still amazed how weird some of these partial colour IR shots look.

One of the hardest things is trying to get the lighting right and consistent because it doesn't seem to necessarily be the same as the visible light.

Even a small change of position can change the exposure completely.

Sadly I couldn't get too close to the church due a fence and all the gates being locked. At some points the natural gradient of the road next to it allowed me to take photos without the fence in the way. At other points there was sufficient gap in the railings to point my lens through.


The Photos


This is a big house that is opposite the church:

This is the church:

This is the area around the church. I love the way the foliage looks in these kind of shots.

I'm not a fan of brownish hues but these are good shots.

Extraordinary photos!! You never cease to amaze me with your excellent photograph skills... the last two shots are my favourite!!

Thank you so much for your kind words:)

Awesome, so you live in Sunderland? I used to be in London every other month until 2 years ago, in total been to England at least 50 times but only been able once to visit the countryside, think this is a beautiful country - sad not enough time to discover :-( -i think we are over the 5 comment limit. @thecryptofiend

Yes:) That is the great thing about England you don't have to go far to get into the countryside.

true but London it takes lot (seeing my colleagues usually travel to work at least 3 hours a day and when we are in London work pressure gives us hardy time for this, this is annoying but i am sure England is so beautiful while knowing London is more or less a separate country

Yes it is because London is both huge and traffic is a big problem because the Tube is only really good for London itself. The antiquated local railways are best avoided!

oh yeah i know that :-) but even tube is dangerous sometimes, i missed a flight from Heathrow recently as tube did not run properly - similar problems in every country i see, good night my friend.

Yes apart from Japan I think! Good night:)

wow, impressive! this is what steemit about!!

Thank you:)

Always welcome for great content!

That is very kind:)

may i ask where you took these IR shoots?

Yes sure the city is called Sunderland (in England) and this is just 1 mile from the North Sea coast. You can actually see the Sea from many of the buildings.

These shots looks like 3D modeling.. Great! :)

Thanks. Yes they do kind of look unreal!

I was so amazed with photos that I forgot to upvote :)

Lol thank you for your support:)

Cool! I would love to play with infared!!

Definitely you should try it. Check out Lifepixel.com for more info.

Nice pictures,
it looks amazing.

Looks quite similar to a modern church I saw when I passed by on a bus before though I cannot remember where it was.

Was it made in the 1960s - I think this kind of style was really popular then.

These photos are amazing! Thank you for them, also it was a good idea to include your process information.

Glad you like them:)

Super cool, love these eerie IR photos. I gotta get one of my old D90s converted!

You should. It is a great way to get a surreal look to photos!

Great work as ever, @thecryptofiend! I think I would rather have the big house on the grounds of the 60s Church - then I can have a small cricket pitch with the world's most lavish pavilion. Does that betray my thinking?
Thanks as ever. All the best to you.

Thanks. Yes that house is actually massive it is deeper than it is wide and it has 5 floors with massive grounds!
