@neonbubble An incredible place but just weird that they named it after a Blue Peter dog.

Captured with the Rodenstock 50mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens (@ f/5.6) and the Phase One back, shifted vertically a bit to maintain geometry.This is a straightforward composition showing the front of the Smithsonian Castle, which is not actually a castle, and, despite being part of the Smithsonian, not actually a museum, either (it houses mostly offices and a small visitor center). It sits on the National Mall, which, despite the name, is not a shopping center. Lies and deceit are everywhere in DC!

@Rachelburch Nice! I have so many childhood memories of visiting it.

@jeridansky It is! Funny thing about the photo: the colors are what they were. I didn't have to desaturate or change anything... which, as a serial post-processor, drove me nuts.

@janamarie Thanks for sharing, I think this may be the first time I have seen an IR portrait . Seeing IR photography seems rare enough never mind portraits. Your right that it looks a bit weird but it also seems like it could be a lot of fun to shoot. I have been interested in IR and UV for a while... It's so tempting to convert a camera and give it a go Edit: Improved a phrasing
