Un complesso monumentale longobardo, oggi parte di un parco archeologico dichiarato Patrimonio Mondiale dell'UNESCO, immerso nella natura e raccolto attorno a un'imponente torre con interni affrescati. Quella del complesso di Torba è una vicenda antichissima che ha origine nel V secolo d.C., quando i Romani costruirono le mura di un avamposto militare contro la minaccia dei barbari, nei pressi del borgo di Castelseprio. Ancora oggi il torrione di guardia rimane a testimonianza della funzione originaria del castrum, portata avanti anche da Goti, Bizantini e Longobardi e poi mutata nel tempo. Da roccaforte difensiva, Torba divenne centro religioso con l'insediamento di un gruppo di monache benedettine che nell'VIII secolo fece costruire il monastero e, più tardi, la piccola chiesa. Per circa sette secoli l'appartata comunità femminile abitò questo luogo, consegnandoci come eredità del suo durevole passaggio gli affreschi nella torre, ieratici, dall'aura quasi misteriosa. Nel Quattrocento le Benedettine si trasferirono e per Torba cominciò un lento declino che portò il complesso a tramutarsi in azienda agricola e, a inizio Ottocento, a perdere la propria funzione religiosa per scivolare gradualmente in uno stato di degrado interrotto solo nel 1976 grazie al FAI. Oggi questo sito millenario dal passato importante (non a caso inserito nel 2011 nelle liste del Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO) rivive anche alla luce dei continui ritrovamenti di età longobarda, che costituiscono solo una delle sorprese che il Monastero, e il suo territorio ricco di tesori di arte e natura, offrono a chi va alla ricerca di luoghi fuori dai circuiti più noti e frequentati.

Mine is on 690. A lot of fillers around are found at 720, for my taste is excessive. I can advise you to look at some photos on the #Infrared or #Ifrared link here on the site (Menu - Other - #Hastag) so you can see what you like best and make a more informed choice. The uv sensor of acrildesign in my opinion is one of the most interesting but with the same money you buy an already modified d70.

Here is the first shot made with your new machine IF!
The result seems to me excellent also because it is not the usual "negative black and white film effect" of the IF, although also very particular and pleasant. Here are some colors that take on beautiful hues even in the presence of a dominant.
Congratulations Marco, really a "special" shot!
Hello and good continuation of the day!

Thanks Massimo. I did as little as possible in post just to see the potential of the filter at 690 nm compared to 720 that is often seen around.
Soon I will try to play with photoshop to understand what effects can be achieved by changing some parameters.
Good afternoon.
