Hampshire Holiday Post 13 - Hinton Ampner House - In Infrared

Continuing with my walk around Hinton Ampner with the infrared camera.

 

Hampshire Holiday Post 12 - Hinton Ampner House - White Flowers IR

 I have been experimenting with Infrared macro photos particularly flowers with insect on. Not a lot of success so far in terms of what I have in mind. While I was walking around the garden at Hinton Ampner I thought O would have a go again with the object of creating a collection of 'White Flower Subjects'. Green plant material goes white with infrared photography. Still early days in my experimentation but I am quite pleased with these images.

Hampshire Holiday Post 08 - Frensham Little Pond Infrared Landscapes

Day 4 of our holiday we traveled to Frensham Little Pond in Surrey (National Trust). After finding the car park we went for a wonder in the trees to the cafe and had a nice cup of coffee. I had not planned to use my infrared camera (a Canon 5dmkiii with 720nm filter) but the trees were so beautiful I thought the infrared might make a different photo.

These photos here have been worked on in Lightroom using the DNG Profile I have created for this camera and after some basic adjustments in Lightroom I took the file into Photoshop. I normally look at the false colour versions fist, with and without channel swapping, make a choice and between the false colour versions and then create an additional monochrome version. Back in Lightroom I try to decide if I like the False Colour version or monochrome. 

Infrared Variations on an Image

I Decided to play with my infrared camera in the garden today and also to use it to create in-camera multiple exposures. I had briefly done ME's Images before with this camera but had not truly been inspired by the results. As with any ME 'project' I took quite a few different shots / experiments. Uploading into Lightroom I started processing selecting and them. I came across one image and was very pleased with the abstract feel to the result, I saved the result by creating a virtual copy and processed it a different way. After about a half an hour I found that I had produced 6 different versions of the same image (there where actually 8 but I deleted two :).

I sequenced them in a pleasing way to me and Here they are in there full glory :)

Dungeness Infrared

We visited Dungeness in August 2018, these photos all taken on my Canon 20D IR converted Camera. Processed in Photoshop, all images where processed with swapped channels.

Dungeness is a shingle beach with many disused fishing huts. It is a well photographed area and I had wanted to visit for a number of years. I was not disappointed. These photos where taken late afternoon. Beautiful light.
