IR Photography
A few years ago, Graeme converted his Nikon D70S to an dedicated IR camera and has produced some interesting results using the camera. Today, I decided to take the camera out for a short walk through some nearby fields and trails. Rather interesting how the shots turn out so differently in IR compared to full spectrum.
My first stop was beside a local road and it was interesting, the response that I got, when pointing what might look a bit like a radar gun at approaching cars coming around a bend. I soon decided that it might be best to experiment without the cars in the picture.
Taking IR photos can be done in a couple of ways. Some people will use their normal camera and just add a filter on the front of the lens while others, like Graeme has done, will do a full internal conversion of the camera. Regardless of the process, it certainly changes the way that the camera sees a trail through the woods or a few branches overhead.
My results with flowers weren’t too impressive but some scenes turned out to be quite dramatic.

Gorgeous! I’ve been fascinated with IR photos for several years now, I’ve got to get looking at how I could give it a try. Thanks for the reminder
Thanks for visiting and commenting. If nothing else, IR lets you look at the world a bit differently.
