Rye Marshes with a twist

In February this year we visited Rye Meads, an RSPB reserve in Hoddesdon. Near the entrance, in the midst of some pretty depressing development, lies a very pretty medieval gatehouse, built in 1443, which used to be part of the Rye House estate. The house has long gone but the gatehouse is supposed to be one of the earliest brick buildings still existing in England. I was feeling a little experimental so I attached a plastic Holga lens to my newly converted infrared camera. Here are some of the results. I have played with the picture of the gatehouse in photoshop and swopped the colour channels which gave me rather surprisingly pink grass!
