I did also take my infrared converted camera with me on my field walk and here are a few snaps taken with that. A couple of them have been converted to monochrome. The rest have been left in their natural state but desaturated a little. I am quite interested in infrared photography of natural forms. The technique is well suited to buildings but landscape is a little more difficult  and the composition usually needs some hard structure in it to work.

When the mist had dissipated Hettie and I had some breakfast and then set out to walk around the field margin. This particular field lay through a gate from the campsite in Long Sutton, where we were staying (highly recommended). I had thought that it was a public footpath but realised when I got back that it probably wasn't. But as there was a herd of highly inquisitive cows over the fence in the next field and actually on the proper footpath, I was pleased that I had chosen a more illicit route.  As always, with dog Hettie, it was a slow meander but I had plenty of chances for close up photography. In fact all I had with me was the camera and the 105mm lens. The fields were awash with buttercups and the early dew gave way to a clear day. Later on a warm sunset complete with balloon lulled our evening.
