Overlook in False Color Infrared
I finally feel I am getting closer to the classic false color infrared images I admire. I have a new filter. This one is the Tiffen #25 red filter, which passes down to 590nm, known as “Goldie” among IR photographers. It gives foliage a yellow color, instead of the white I was getting with the 720nm […]
Marsh Marigold Ultraviolet
I continue to work on my ultraviolet photography technique with a visit to marsh marigolds. Marsh marigolds were my first “successful” ultraviolet subject last year when I first tried my equipment. Marsh marigolds display very prominent nectar guides in UV. This time around I feel I have a better handle on taking such photographs. The […]
Infrared Dormer
After yesterday’s experiments with a ultraviolet filter, I took the infrared filter out for a spin. I was landlocked today, unable to get away from the house, so I took a picture of the house…and a wispy blue sky.
Ultraviolet Dandelion
Spring has finally progressed far along enough that I have some subjects for my ultraviolet-sensitive camera. Many flowers have ultraviolet (UV) nectar guides. Nectar guides are patterns on the flower petals that are only visible to animals that can detect ultraviolet light with their eyes, typically pollinating insects. The darker sections tend to be in the […]
Snow Trillium Infrared
The Snow Trillium (Trillium nivale) captures our attention once more, this time in infrared. The flowers at this patch are in peak bloom at the moment. It will not last forever. Many other flowers are beginning to sprout in this sudden spring. The snow trillium blossoms will fade, and other colorful suitors will distract the […]
North Park IR
A long stretch of cold, cloudy late-winter weather is making for some somber photography sessions. I took my IR-modified camera out to North Park (in a suburb of Pittsburgh) today to see if I could generate anything interesting. I focused mostly on some of the more interesting buildings. Because the grayness of the day and […]
Rosie’s Chair
Some photographers like to take pictures of the same convenient model, such as their own child, a spouse, or a pet. Often it’s just to test a technique. But sometimes they turn into a famous series in their own right. Perhaps Rosie the cat may become my muse.
McConnells Mill Comparing Four Photographic Approaches
Today I photographed the mill at McConnells Mill State Park. I will have more pictures in another post soon. In this post, we take the same view, but use four different photographic methods: traditional, HDR, false-color infrared, and black and white infrared. All images were taken with a Nikon 18-55mm AF-S DX VR lens, at […]
Infrared Cemetery
Today’s One Picture project was not intended to be gloomy, but somehow that’s what happens when photographing in cemeteries. Today I wanted to play more with infrared and the FujiFilm IS Pro UVIR DSLR. I went to a cemetery near my house. My intention was to take some shots of the huge old trees there, […]
