I really like this shot. I think it could be even more dramatic if cropped - just my opinion though.

This would look great on the wall of a contemporary room space.

Thanks for posting this.

So is this like a picture taken with an unconverted camera? How much do the various lens filters cost - expensive?

Vic
 
A very cute picture - I think the composition is spot-on.

Just beautiful, thanks for sharing Vic.

I saw a recent IR post on Instagram and thought of you. The shot was taken with an X-T1 that was modified by the Lifepixel folks that you asked about up the thread. Here is the shot:
This photographer said he is able achieve this in-camera on his Super Blue IR Modified X-T1 by playing with the white balance and saturation - how cool is that?!

That is cool. I sometimes wish I had a full spectrum body but I'm not sure if i'd feel the straight colour from them would be the same.

I tried the 16-55 f2.8 on my 590nm converted XE1 - but with no lens filter - and it seems good for IR at least at the wide end to f5.6/f8 so I've sent off for a cheap 850nm BW IR filter to fit. I'll let you now how I get on with it because it's so easy to drop the tiny XE1 body and 77mm filter into my bag along with XT2+16-55mm f2.8 when going out.

That picture looks pretty awesome! I'll see if I can do the same with my Kolari Blue NDVI IR filter (which I think might be similar to the Lifepixel filter).

That would be good. Is yours a lens filter or camera conversion. Let us know how you get on.

The sky is full of holes that let the rain get in, the holes are very small - that's why the rain is thin.

I'm on holiday but have to say these are great.

Very nice job Vic, I specially liked the fourth shot.
 
Indigenous Australian cultures have many dreaming stories (creation stories) about the night sky. One common one accross many cultures is the Emu in the Sky, formed from the dust lanes in the milky way. It's called by many names depending on the language group (there are around 200 distinct Aboriginal languages).

The emu's head is on the right hand side near the edge of the frame (a dark round nebula with a beak). Moving left from the head is a long thin neck then the galactic bulge is the body

Interesting narrative to accompany the excellent pictures. I think I prefer the second for the fact it has landscape included which "grounds" the image.

Thank you, Vic! I'm fortunate enough to have a good friend and fellow photographer who's one of the real local experts on owls and where to find them.

I've been wanting to take a picture of the emu in the sky ever since I heard about it a couple of years ago though I agree the second one is better. Unfortunately it's missing the head of the emu so you loose that part of the narative.
