CCC Trip to Stowe Gardens (3)

Whilst walking around Stowe Gardens I found the Chinese House. If it had been a few weeks later than this 'exhibit' would have been wrapped up for the winter to protect it.

Such a lot of interesting detail, lovely paintings, weathered woodwork - great textures.

The first shot shows the Chinese House in its entirety, The rest where taken with my Canon 100mm L series Macro lens.

This post shows what I did with InfraRed Photography at Stowe Gardens. I do not have a converted camera so I use the R72 filter. This means that I have to use a tripod as exposure times are in the 30 second region. Not that that worries me - it tends to slow me down and think about composition and technique.
