I hope you don't mind Etienne but your comment on the other IR photo just seemed to sum up the fascination of these images. @etienne
"I like the different view on the reality that this provides. It is different than artificially colouring a shot by post processing for example. Here, you know that what you see in the picture is as real as the "regular" view, it is just a different spectrum in your "eye".
Thanks Etienne for so aptly stating why I find these IR images so fascinating. Cheers Rob
@granagringa Hi Granagringa - it's so nice to hear from you. I have been inspired by FB and (with her help) have purchased a Nikon D70 which has been converted to InfraRed. It's so much fun - and it's also forcing me to learn how to use a proper camera LOL Cheers Rob
I agree with your comments @ettienne has put it very well indeed. I'm still toying with the idea of converting a camera to IR, but not ready to do that just now.
@golftragic LOL Marnie - I'm hoping to learn how to use a real camera and then maybe get one - you're the exact opposite. It does seem to be very interesting - you look through the viewfinder and see it normally - then the caught image is so different. It's quite exciting! :)
@sudweeks Hi Josh - thanks so much for your suggestion. I only have a very old processing program ( Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10) so I'll have to try to figure out how to do it on that. I'll definitely give it a go though. Cheers Rob
@taffy Thanks Taffy - Etienne summed it up perfectly - and it's very exciting to play with - learning to use a "proper" camera and the unknown aspect of the IR catch ....... :)
@casablanca Yes - I find it so appealing too - a little bit surreal - and the excitement of the unknown - what you see and what you catch are so very different. I'm glad you like them too - I did wonder if they were just a bit too weird in some that I've caught! Huge fun... Cheers Rob
