The last day of the famous McGilveray garden tour was now upon us. Iain had always wanted to see Chartwell so this was a must on the way home, being convenient for the M25! We spent time looking round the house and garden. There is an excellent Churchill exhibition and Iain was especially fascinated by this. It was yet another warm day. Unfortunately a lot of the house was being renovated and under scaffolding, so it was only possible to get one clear view of it.

Still going with the infrared theme, I visited Chartwell a little while ago while Alan was riding in a London cycle event. I could have wished for better light as it was overcast and dull and I could not go in the house as I had the Hettie dog with me. The following are taken using the Nikon D800e and the 24mm PCE lens. I rather like mixing the monochrome and the colour together to give muted tones and a degree of blur where the foliage has moved in the wind during the infrared shot. For comparison I am posting the infrared images, converted to black and white and the combined monotone and colour ones.
