The Hulton Bridge in Oakmont, PA is due for replacement. It’s going to be a year or two yet until everything is done, but who knows when I’ll have another chance to capture it for prosperity before construction alters the view. The images are false-color infrared, except for one converted to black and white. All […]
The camera was a Fuji IS Pro UVIR, the lens a Nikon 18-55mm AF-S VR, the filter a Tiffen #25 590nm pass filter. The Nikon 18-55mm performs well for infrared photography. No hotspots.
I recently purchased a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 Pro DX Digital Lens. I have been very impressed with the solid construction and excellent images. However, I have found one use for which it’s not going to work, infrared photography. Unfortunately, this lens shows a significant hot spot in the dead center of the image. The image […]

I stopped briefly at Old Stone House near Slippery Rock, PA, for a few false color infrared photographs of the exterior. I have passed this place a hundred times in the last 20 years; I finally had a chance to get out of the car! It’s only open weekends in the summer; hopefully in the […]
Today’s weird colors brought to you by ulraviolet light. I captured ordinary yellow marigolds from the garden with an ultraviolet band-pass filter on the Fuji IS Pro UVIR full-spectrum camera. I did not get any hidden patterns from nectar guides. That left things to choosing an interesting false-color scheme. Using auto white-balance in either Aperture […]
We placed our new Tokina 11-16mm wide angle lens on the Fuji IS Pro UVIR full spectrum camera today. I used a Tiffen #25 red filter, which effectively blocks 590nm an below. Full spectrum photographers call this the “Goldie” filter because of what it does to the green foliage in post-processing. The subject is busy, […]
I enjoy photographing tree silhouettes. This oak tree stands alone near a new house under construction. It’s actually quite a tall tree, 40 feet or more, towering over the roof of the new house. For some reason it has been spared; perhaps the new homeowner told the builder to save it out of a sense […]
I visited Hartwood Mansion today with a #25 Red Tiffen Filter on a Fuji IS Pro UVIR full-spectrum camera. Hartwood mansion is at Hartwood Acres, a county park in northern Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. I have not spent much time at the mansion before, certainly not to photograph it. Post-processing for false-color was done with a […]
Hillman Park is located in Fayette County. In the background is the leading ridge of the Allegheny mountains. This false color infrared image was made with a Fujifilm FinePix IS Pro UVIR DSLR camera, a Nikon 18-55mm AF-S VR lens, and a Tiffen #25 red filter. ISO 400, 1/1140 sec, f/13. Post-processing in Gimp and […]
