Hi Brian,

Very interesting photograph! Don't know much about infra red photography at all, but this one tweeks my curiosity. Visited your galleries, and definately will make a return trip when I have more time. Mamy man interesting and beautiful photos displayed there. Thanks for the link and for sharing your work. Curt A.
 
Hi Brian

I like what I see here a great deal though I was unsuccesful getting into your site. Will try later again

Infrared is still new to me. This was really my first attempt at it. I noticed that focusing is not the same as standard photos, so you kind of take an educated guess.

Thank you very much Curt. I just got started in infrared and I can tell you it's pretty much trial and error, mostly error. Focus, exposure and composition are all a guess at best. Out of 80 shots, only about 8 to 10 are useable, but then you have to majorly tweak them in Photoshop. That is unless I'm doing something wrong, which is very possible!

Thanks and I'm sorry Ruvy. The site works for me and I even tried
from a couple different computers, maybe the server was down when
you tried.

Brian,

I, for one, am NUTS over NIR, and your pix are stunning. Great job. I use a 950 with a 28 mm 89B from Harrison and Harrison. Were you using a Hoya R72 for these or something else?

It's the most challenging type of photography for me, but worth it, I think. I'm contemplating a DSLR purchase this summer and NIR sensitivity is near the top of my list of criteria in selecting a model.

Thanks for sharing.

Brad,

Thanks for the compliments. I use a Fuji S1 Pro exclusively. I used a B&W 093 filter for those shots. I don't think the Fuji is well suited to all IR shots because most of those pics required long exposures. When I say long, I mean 20 seconds at F13. I used 320 ISO because I saw less noise in those shots versus using 1600 ISO. I don't know how other DSLR's fare, but I have heard that the CP950 is one of the best for IR photos.

It seems my 950 is more sensitive. I was afraid of that. The good thing is that you get that nice milky effect from the long exposures without having to get up way early, or stay late into the evening, or use ND filters. To reduce long exposure or high ISO noise, you might want to take several exposures and sandwhich them using PS layers and blend. I've heard the noise pattern in each shot will be different and may compensate when blended.

Keeping my fingers crossed that one of these new DSLR's doesn't have severe cut filtering.
Thanks for the info,
FJBrad
 
Brad,

I have tried the multiple image thing and I found the stuck pixel count grew with each shot added.

The IR effect works well here - you picked a good time of day to get the most out of the red filter. Seems a bit fuzzy, though I find it fits the mood of the shot. I found that I had to focus the scene before putting the filter on, as neither my eye nor the AF could find focus through the filter I was using.
 
Greg,

I composed the shot and focused without the filter, then added the filter. As for fuzziness, I can't figure that one out. Every shot was a little fuzzy.
