@kvphoto Hi KV - Yes it was taken with an infra red camera. But, I nearly always find that I have to tweak the original photo to make the exposure or tones more pleasing. It's probably because I'm not actually very good at using the settings on the camera!! :)
@robz love what you’ve done with it… obviously you’ve got a great feel for how to edit for great tonal range… I’d imagine trying to figure out exposure for infrared photography is rather difficult… I’d guess you have long exposures.
@kvphoto Hi again KV. I have never had a proper camera - just point and shoot types that fit in your pocket. So, the IR camera is a big step up for me. But I believe it still functions like a normal camera in that I set the Aperture at about 8 normally with the ISO about 200 and try one photo. If it's too dark or too blue I can usually fix it with the +/- exposure compensation. The auto focus still works. For anybody who is used to a proper camera I would image that it's pretty easy. The hardest part,I find, is figuring out what subject matter will actually give a decent outcome - you get lots of just shades of white.. Thanks for your interest and nice compliment! Cheers Rob
Lovely effect! I used to use AP mode on mine as the settings were pre-set but after I dropped the kit lens I have to use my go to Nikkor lens which is manual mode only so my shots are guess and press too - your guessing is v good!
@fbailey Hi FB - That's a real shame for you to not be able to use the auto focus - it must be pretty annoying. Or, have I got this wrong - can you still auto focus but do you have to put in your own F stop, Iso etc each time? That would be even worse. For me, not wearing Polarizing glasses has made the most difference - I can now see that first image on the back screen!! It lets me fiddle with the settings ... Still having lots of fun with it too... Cheers Rob
@pusspup Lol - not snow up here - been blooming hot actually! It is the IR camera - I'm actually starting to get a bit of an idea about how to use it. I've got the setting about right at last - and I'm never touching the major ones ever again! Cheers Rob
@casablanca Lol Casablanca - it does sound a bit exotic when you think about it - and I guess most of them aren't really like the mind image of toucans etc... Much smaller but still very colourful and with their curved beak... Cheers Rob
@robz With my Nikkor lens I can only use Manual mode, no Auto, no AP or SP. It's been a bit of a learning curve but I think it's done me good. Prob why am not producing much IR right now:) presetting WB in variable weather conditions can be a headache!
Thanks everybody for your congratulations - and for letting me know! I'm pretty chuffed - and the IR camera can be very proud of itself.... Cheers Rob @k9photo@pdulis@vesna0210@johnfalconer
@fbailey Lol FB - that sounds so familiar! It does make life interesting though. And I've just been told by the lovely people above that this IR image has made it onto the Top 20 list - I'm quite amazed and very happy that the IR camera can produce such a winner. I can never thank you enough for helping me enter the fascinating world of IR... :) Cheers Rob
