My image today features intense cloud formations that were blowing through the area, and lasted just long enough to allow me to run and get my infrared camera/filter combination. I actually think the clouds were more intense when I first saw them, but I am quite happy with what I got here. The shot was done using my old Nikon D70, which was excellent for capturing infrared images when used in conjunction with a Hoya r72 infrared filter. The downside is the fact that you can barely see through the filter,so essentially you focus the shot on your tripod and then add the filter on the lens before shooting. Exposures usually run from 1 second to 8 seconds at f16 in most situations,and you must remove the filter every time you do a new image. As things soon turn greener, Infrared effects will get even better.
Another amazing photo. I want to come and follow you around for a month or so!
You would get bored following me.By the looks of your blog,you lead a pretty exciting life already.
Don,
This picture is absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us….
Thanks for looking.
Nice, checking out that filter although I have software with almost the same effect the filter would be nice.
Would be surprised that software could duplicate the filter. I tried a couple ways and they usually come up a little short. I would suggest getting the largest diameter filter for your biggest lens and then use step down rings. i use a 77mm
Almost but upon checking it’s not what i was thinking, if your d70 works perhaps my old d80 would work.
lifepixel converts d80s. they could tell you more. internet has a few shots using the hoya filter,so it looks like it works.
Stunning photograph
I truly admire your work.
Thank you for the kind words.
I think an infrared filter will go on my wish list, thanks for the wonderful image,MJ
The only word of warning I have for you is to research the net to see what others say about whatever camera you have and its infrared abilities. My d700 for instance is terrible with the filter. I sent my old d200 to lifepixel,and they converted it to use it to shoot infrared only. thats another option if you have an old camera sitting around.
This is awesome! Love the clouds in this shot.
Yes it was very dramatic as they moved through.
Wonderful image. I have always been fascinated with infrared images, but I need to learn more about the process of making them. I know the d7000 is not the best camera to try it with. Might have to find a second hand d70.
If i get a chance I will try my filter on a d7000 and let you know. its not that complicated
This is some pretty amazing stuff! Very impressive!
thank you for taking a look at my work.
Wow, this is quite simply an outstanding photograph 🙂
Thank you very much.
