And here's a Polyphemus moth on a railing outside the Court Street Diner in Athens, Ohio. Shot in 590nm because that's the only body I had with me, and with the 14mm Fujinon because that's the only lens I had with me. The feet, yes, are mine.
Here's the fog just starting to rise from the trees still in sunlight on the far side of the holler after a thunderstorm. Shot with the 590nm-converted X-E2.
Here's another, taken a couple of hours ago at the lovely little village of Amesville, Ohio. I did the usual white balance and channel swap adjustments and, because it was shot with the 14mm Fuji lens tilted slightly upward, did a touch of perspective control (Shift-P in the GIMP) as well. I...
I played with an image seen a few pictures above -- post processing IR involves a kind of zen (as does a lot of computer work) -- and here is the picture more as it should be, I think.
One thing I'm learning is to bring down the highlights before tweaking exposure in general. With a little...
This is kind of fun. I shot looking down at the creek and am now surprised at the depth of color in the reflection. Infrared and bodies of water are always a little unpredictable, in my experience. This was shot at 590nm, and auto white balance and channel swap in the GIMP.
And here's really unsubtle, also made with the 590nm body, but the lighting and location had changed and the gold was redder except in the area affected by direct sunlight.
And here's somewhat less subtle -- the 590nm X-E2 arrived a couple of hours ago (and the rain stopped and the sun came out, really; only thing missing was the choir of angels). So I made a quick picture. Lots more color to play with in 590!
Should mention that the only post were auto white...
I stuck one of these in a "Portrait" thread last night, and it caused me to think that a little something involving infrared (and UV, but ick!) portraiture might be fun here, so I'll kick it off. These were all shot in 720nm infrared.
This was what is technically known as a happy accident...
Here are a few made with a cheap 720nm filter stuck on a Fuji X100. They're OOC but for auto white balance and channel swap, done in the GIMP. I particularly like the shadow in the last one.
It also seems to me that angle of incidence is important in infrared, with vignetting being the...
Interesting the amount of color delivered by the 850. On my Fujis, the 850 produces what amounts to a black-and-white image, right OOC.
Also -- do you do anything in UV?
Sometimes I think one of the delights of infrared color is that it can bring a subtlety of hues not found often elsewhere. Not quite pastel but certainly not loud. Here's a picture I made last week that kind of illustrates the point, I believe.
