A walk to the lock.

Last Sunday morning we walked down to the local lock on the north Oxfordshire canal, and inevitably the camera came along.

C&C welcome again.

It feels like I'm scratching the surface of IR at the moment - a bit like getting your first digital camera - and haven't really got beyond "ooh, that looks interesting" yet.

Thats an interesting set, Toni. The IR is certainly very striking and adds a different element to an otherwise standard scenic view. I'm especially drawn to no3 and no6.

 

[gilbouk]

Love them. I think IR makes these pictures really interesting. Keep posting

…again, cool compositions!
Do you shot RAW?

Thank you, gentlmen.

Yes - I don't think a .jpg format would work well for this. I'm using a D70, and I'd guess it has about a 5-6 stop dynamic range for IR, which is why it's so hard not to get blown highlights or lose the shadows in noise.

Then, you're doing the right thing, Toni!

So very cool particularly like 1,4,5

Have you adapted a camera for infrared, or do you use a filter - is there much difference between them?

Another fine set Toni
I really want an IR conerted camera I always fancied shooting IR film

Thanks Dan. I'm using a converted Nikon D70 - bought it from NeilA1975 on here. The difference is that I can hand hold most of the time, where as using a filter cuts most of the light, and a tripod would be essential.

Thanks Alf. I've a feeling there's a converted panny for sale in the classifieds, if you really want to leap aboard this particular train.

As a m4/3 user it is a great buy but funds are not there ATM.

 

[ancient_mariner]

That's a feeling I know well.

The 2nd to last is outstanding.

 

[Norkie]

As said, an excellent set

Thank you Steven and Jak.
