A Walk on the Full Spectrum Side

It's been quite a while since I gave the Canon 1200D an airing. That is the camera which had the internal UV filter replaced with clear optical glass. The first thing I have to do before each session is reset the white balance. That is done by photographing something green and instructing the camera to use that as the white balance level. I always take a photo of the lawn.

Today's mid-morning walkabout was in full sunshine though the breeze still had a cold edge.
Focussing is not easy as IR and UV light have slightly different focal lengths to the light wavelengths the camera was designed to use. Instead of autofocus I have to use manual focus in live view on the LCD. That can be difficult to get spot on with bright light from the Sun on the screen.

Anyway, here are a few from our walk. All have some tweaking to the RAW files in Affinity Photo.
