Peacock House

Taken today at the Briar's Golf Club and Resort, Jackson's Point, Canada. It was a glorious day to shoot infrared using my modified 830 nm camera. The Briars captures the traditional warmth of an English country inn. This two-storey, eight-sided brick building was erected in 1885 as one of a number of outbuildings situated on the 200-acre, well-manicured property.

Great to see some IR stuff again, I am a fan of the genre.

Thanks, Norman.

I like IR as well and this is a good one Steven.

I love the luminance on the building

Yes, as an image i like it a lot, and agree with others above.

(Probably an unfair/unreasonable comment but ....) where the post as a whole loses me is the reference to

'captures the traditional warmth of an English country inn.'
​

as infra red stuff doesn't, to me, give a feeling of 'warmth'.

I think the quotation refers to the building and not to its portrayal in the photograph.

Chris, the "warmth" refers to the resort as a whole, not specifically this shot and/or infrared photography.

I really must give this infrared stuff a try.
Would you recommend the 830nm over 720nm or 780nm filters Steven?

Are thinking about modifying a camera or using a filter?

Modifying a camera Steven.

Modifying a camera Steven.

Here are a few of your options:

Thanks Steven. I have read the information on that site and also the information HERE.
I think I would probably go for the 780nm which will limit any colour effects thereby being good for black and white but without losing a stop, which apparently you do with the 830nm filter.

Since 99% of my work is mono, I opted for the Deep B&W 830 nm IR filter. It works great.
