infrared sunny afternoon, looking towards the arboretum

the only post-processing is a slight crop, all the magic happens in camera with a camera adapted to infrared 850nm.
I went on a big ride on my Vespa with camera bag and stopped off for a few shots here and there. I want to share some of the false-colour IR shots taken at between 650-780nm, but they need a lot of post processing to reverse the red and blue colour channels and then fine tuning. I should have done it earlier in the day and am just a little tired at the moment.

This was taken with a Canon powershot G2 where the sensor has been replaced with one that allows the capture of infrared light and blocks (most) visible light.

My Vespa is in shot here
Fabulous detail and dramatic light. The trees on distant hill really stand out

Cool!!!! I love the clarity it gives. Oh! And my Mum and Dad went ballooking in Cappadoccia (sp.??) this morning! They called, and I just had to go look at your balloon shots from there so I could imagine where they were!!!

@buggirl - I love Ballooking and I saw a Ballook over Melbourne city yesterday morning. Impressive.

But I lurve the National Arboretum even more, and had the privilege of meeting the team that work there last year and was shown around the intricacies. What a wonderful place to work and what a fantastic idea for the 'berra.

Love this IR image, IR images fascinate me and you rarely see them on 365!
