Which must mean it’s time for messing around with some infrareds on a warm sunny day….

Everything still works as it should! Black skies and water, white vegetation and clouds.
It’s good to see the IR effect again after a long wet winter. Fresh foliage seems to reflect more IR wavelength light than older grass and leaves so the ‘Wood Effect‘ is especially pronounced.

Here’s the setup – an RX100 with R72 filter held on a Lensmate filter attachment. A much better arrangement than just holding the filter over the lens, this little gadget is very useful. The AG-R1 grip is also attached and transforms the RX100’s handling (get one!).
All shot at the ’28mm’ focal length (really 10.4mm) at f2, ISO 800 with a +1 stop exposure compensation to allow hand held speeds of between 1/30th of a second and 1/8th of a second. These were processed in DXO Optics Pro 9 using the ‘Dense’ black and white conversion – straight from the camera they have a very intense magenta hue. A slight ‘diffuse glow’ was added in Photoshop to give it that old Kodak IR film look.

A bit more abstract here – fresh growth in a pond with some clouds reflected.

Same bridge – but from the other side.

More of a traditional landscape really – the vegetation at the lower right seems to be ‘reaching into’ the frame.
Not a bad result for some gentle messing about – more a practice for later in the year.
Hope you like them, thanks for looking!
I do and it was a pleasure!
Thanks Chillbrook!
