Iscoed 2013

Went here in May and this report is an addendum to the 2009 one already existent here.
When I drove up the track there was no sign of life at this place. the servants wing that had been renovated was boarded up but the main glass door was open for some reason. So I got nosy and wandered round - all the rooms were empty & photos of empty rooms are rater boring so I didn't bother, not even the orange one with the black palm trees painted in each corner? However the rest is here. I got one room into the cellars and my camera battery packed up. Flash drained all the power & camera froze - had to use my little Canon for the rest

The security fences are not exactly secure.

Not seen infrared before looks cool nice work hows it done ?

It was occupied by some dubious characters when we went! Mind you that was back in 2009

Great place though

Hi
If you want to experiment with this technology there is a guy on e-bay who converts cameras & sells them for £100 -£200
look up infraready. I got a Canon A480 to start for £115 then when I knew what I was doing with that I got my Nikon D40x converted by ACS

But that cost a lot more.
They take out the filter over the sensor in your camera & replace with a deep red one Then you have to play with the colour settings until you are happy with the results. With my Nikon I've found that the auto focus lenses produce mushy results so I now use a fixed 17mm lens from one of my old film cameras stop it down maximum and set the focus by the markings on the lens - you get the exposure by doing multiple shots at different speed settings until you get one that looks right. Helps to have a tripod as some take several seconds.

Very nice, these shots give it a surreal dreamlike quality to the place. great report

Nice one, liking the infra red! Something different! Doesn't look a bad mooch either, thanks for sharing

Need to pick your brains on that infra-red stuff! Nice...

Amazing photos.

Hi Silent hill
did you see the other bit where the peaches were grown?

^^^ I don't recall seeing that part mate. There was another ruin just over the road/track..... I would assume it was part of the same estate.



And abandoned stuff among the brambles

It was round the back of your picture a great long thing with no windows or roof. Looked like this inside

Nice one bud. May have to return sometime as there are loads of ruins in the area.

Love this infrared lark, must thank you for introducing it to m, I'd not seen it before.
Hope to see more from you, keep up this standard!
