A Lesson

2022_CLondon52w28: Unconventional Light

From the C.London website: "Some of the most interesting light comes from unconventional places - a bon fire, a TV set, headlights of a car, etc etc. For this week the main light source should be from something other than the sun or light bulbs. Be as creative!"

One of the great things about these weekly prompts is the impetus to try something new. This week, thought I would try infrared light. Unfortunately, I did not order an IR filter in time, so decided to experiment with Lightroom filters & profiles. This image emulates Kodak Aerochrome.

In the late 1600's, Louis XIV spent 1/2 of France's GDP building his palace and gardens. The scale and opulence is awe-inspiring. From where this shot is taken to the end of the Grand Canal (upper center) is 1.5 miles.
