3rd times a charm with the full spectrum camera and shooting IR

[cardiff_gareth]

3rd times a charm, finally got some images that I'm happy with in terms of the colours I've been after.

First 4 are with a 590nm filter and white balance se using a pop up white balancer 'diffuser'. 5 onwards using a Hoya R72 filter with white balance set to green grass.

All with the Fuji X-A5 and a Neewer 35mm manual lens.

I like them all but 5, 7, 8 stand out for me. I enjoy the weirdness of the 590nm filter but I know many people don't.

Well they're certainly striking but not quite my cup of tea. The mono images more to my liking.

Still I'm sure there'll be plenty on here disagree with me .

Thanks both.

Appreciate it's not to everyone's cup of tea

@jakeblu, back in the day there was a film called Aerochrome that turned greens into shades of pink and red. The colour was dependant on how much infrared light was touching the subject so time of day and weather conditions played a big part, here are a few links to show what I'm trying to achieve:

I spent a year preparing to shoot a roll of portraits on Kodak AEROCHROME III Infrared 1443, the false-color infrared-sensitive film manufactured by Kodak

Richard Mosse raises important questions about the nature of war, journalism and the practice of art in his film and photography series Infra and The Enclave. They are more pressing than ever in the time of a pandemic, as we witness an unprecedented loss of life on a global scale.

Nice set, I agree with Lindsay, 5, 7 and 8 really stand out

Always wanted to try this type of work, may look at getting a converted DSLR one day

I actually prefer the first images, I've seen plenty of white out IR images in the past so the first set just look a little different. That said they all look great.

4, 5 and 7, excellent
