This place just keeps giving…
When I was getting ready for work today I looked outside and had seen the mist had filled the valley again, so I got ready to leave, and headed up to a viewpoint that I’ve been shooting at.
The mist was way too low for my liking to use the camera, but I’ve been waiting to get this drone shot for a while now.
I can’t wait to get these in to darktable after work today.

I’m still getting used to the intensely shallow DoF of a 1.7 aperture… Maybe I should’ve stopped down a bit. 
Still, the parts that are in focus are nicely sharp. I’m loving this lens[1] so far.

This is such an odd building, all angles and a lot of them not straight or perpendicular. I’ll shoot some more pics of it if the weather improves a bit. It’s this little nugget.

Weather forecast this week has said that the sun hasn’t been seen in Scotland for 15 days, and that it has rained every day for the past 36 days.
We went into Perth today to do some jobs, but we also went to the museum so that my wife could see the Mary, Queen of Scots exhibition. Some of these you have seen before, my excuse is that this was with my 14-24mm lens
I am particularly fond of the 1st one, which appears to be the dread Cthulhu.

So, from what I’ve understood, so far, typically Scottish weather?
Joking aside, Scotland’s still on my travel list. Maybe this year.
With the shadows on the wall and floor it certainly is confronting.
But in reality … what is it described as? Red Deer? And is it somewhat petrified, or why the particular texture?
Seems like very old metal hardware used to mount it, too.
It is a reindeer fossil. Reindeer and elk were extant in Scotland, but are now extinct here.
We do have red and roe deer. The problem being, that they have no predators, which is bad for the environment. It is good for us though, since wild venison is quite cheap.
I’ll have a look the next time I am in the museum, but I suspect it has been the collection for a long time. The museum is new, but the exhibits may not be.
Misty as heck, great weather for some street stuff.

I’ve been in a slump lately and not really taking too many photos. But this weekend I attended a photo walk and print swap hosted by a local gallery / darkroom studio. I really didn’t know what to expect. The photo walk included two models and the combination of shooting other people and shooting around other people is way outside of my comfort zone. Most people were film / street photographers and many knew each other. But I ended up talking to a few people for a while and ended up grabbing a beer with them afterwards.
I took my IR camera with me because I know that area well and have taken IR photos there before. I wasn’t sure how well it would work with human subjects. I’m still not totally sure.

I think they look good. I didn’t realise they were IR until I read your text.

I thought it was some preset with a slightly odd colorization, but yeah, this works out fine!

It’s the Kolari IR Chrome filter so some blue light is allowed in. This makes some things look relatively normal but plants and stuff stand out. Clothes tend to stand out as well, but the IR Chrome filter doesn’t seem to affect skin in quite the same way that other IR filters do, it maybe softens it a bit but not the zombie-like skin tones you can get from other filters.
