[vortex]

Some photos taken at London's Hampstead Heath.

Went for the usual blue colour type of IR..instead of my preferred bnw processing normally for a change. :D

Nice work, albeit somewhat artificial looking.

i do know what u mean...thats why i said..i seldom do these colour IR stuff...i tend to go for more black and white processing. as i post more u will understand why :D

Nice.

Not done much IR myself - The most sucessfull i've been is with P&S cameras (Canon G7 & Fuji F31fd)

IR's not really my thing but I like these. Out of interest, how do you take your IR shots? I thought they required long exposures on digital due to the various filters manufaturers use.

Mine were hand-held on a P&S due to the weak filter in P&S's.

Like chillimonster mentioned...you can also use PnS digital cams ..which makes it alot easier for sure. One PnS which i use personally is Ricoh GRD which also doubles up as my IR camera.

For these shots...they are all taken with a modified Nikon D40x. The hot mirror has been replaced with a IR glass filter.

Are these really IR? As IR requires a long expousre time and that duck looks pretty still, the water not moving, no wind?

Real IR or not, I think they're great. The first three particularly.

^^ He uses a modifed camera so he doesnt need long exposures to take the IR shots.

I must get myself a new IR filter, since dropping and breaking my last one I havnt even thought of IR photography in a long time.

Number 1 for me, Vortex. Nice and vivid, and the bloke adds some interest.

All very good though :D

As Moke2k mentioned....i use a modified camera. And yes, they are real IR taken with a actual IR filter. ;)

Thanks for viewing people! :)

IR only needs long exposures if you are using an unmodified camera with a filter. If you have a modified camera, then you can shoot handheld, just as normal.
