Interesting door at Michelham Priory.

Was this shot in infra-red?

Also, being slightly pernickity, have you tried the auto-adjust features in lightroom? The door isn't quite vertical

Was this shot in infra-red?

No, it was taken on a conventional Panasonic G3*. I applied a yellow/green filter in Silver Efex to lighten the leaves which are stretching across the door.

The auto level correction was applied in LR as there was originally a bit of a tilt. Whilst it might not be quite straight, only the merest adjustment would be required, > 0.1%. Certainly not enough to worry about.

* At some point I will be converting the camera to full spectrum, which will mean that I can adjust the infrared filtration by placing the filter I require on the lens rather than having a fixed filter in the camera. It might be possible to shoot UV as well and I will experiment with that. I have not done it yet as it has been useful to have two cameras and being m43, not such an inconvenience to carry them both compared to the bulk and heft of a DSLR. It's just as well that I have not gone ahead with the conversion considering the current misbehaviour of my E-M10.
