I found the folder with IR photos from our trip. There weren't many as the camera is a bit bulky to carry and I'm not real good at using it.... This was the one night that we had to sleep in our car - Errol hated it! The other people shown in their camper had it easy!
This was taken at Mimbi Caves - a fabulous spot owned by the original aboriginal custodians. They will kindly take you for a guided explore of the most remarkable caves with hidden springs and swimming holes.
Ooh I imagine Errol wouldn't get much sleep, but what a fascinating place it sounds and I am sure totally worth it. The IR photos are certainly intriguing. I have never done anything like that.
Interesting shot. I gather you have had your D70 converted to infrared. That's a good way to repurpose an older camera. I have an old Canon T3i that hasn't seen the light of day for a long time and I've thought of getting it converted. Maybe in the New Year.
@cdcook48 Hi Chris. I bought it already converted - from a man in the UK. It's fun - but I've never owned a "real" camera, so it's always a bit hit and miss when I use it. It does add interest to the hobby though. Cheers Rob
Your IR shots always look so interesting! Sounds like this one is a good representative of the night in the car. What a fascinating spot. Did you take them up on a tour of the caves?
@olivetreeann Hi Ann. We definitely did do the caves exploration. It was so good and our guide was the grandson of one of the Elders. He told us so many stories of the area and its history. So very interesting - and quite sad in many parts.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL Jackie - because we didn't drag the caravan around with us. We booked accommodation - and there wasn't any at Mimbi Caves. And it was a long way from anywhere else. We really wanted to go there - it was new since our last trip and sounded marvellous. It was worth it. We did have a fold-up mattress in the back of the Pajero - it was our backup plan if anything went wrong with any accommodation bookings. Cheers Rob
