The sun at the end of the road has moved back far enough to the west that I can start shooting the sunset again. My son and I were down there last night watching and speaking with a gentleman who’s been living in this area for twenty years. He had his digital Nikon, but neither of us took any images. I’ve shot enough times down there to know when not to. It was, however, a spectacular sunset; the most beautiful sunset that I’ve seen since last winter.
Today’s post is one of my favorites from the latest roll of infrared I shot in June. The polarizing filter and red #25 filter combo is working out well for me when shooting infrared. I’ll still get a true infrared filter some day, but they are so expensive, and I don’t shoot infrared that often, to justify a purchase just yet. Besides, with the filter combo, I can use auto focus. I can’t do that with an infrared filter. It is usually recommended that you shoot at f-11 when taking infrared, but this roll I took some practice shots, some of them stopping the lens all the way down. Everything worked out well.
Camera - Minolta Maxxum 7000
Film - Kodak HIE Infrared that I rated at ISO 100
Shutter Speed - 1/6
Aperture Setting - f-11 Aperture Mode
Lens - Minolta 28-85mm zoom lens
Polarizing Filter and Red #25 Filter
Scanning Method - My scan from my cheap little hp officejet 5510v all-in-one copy/scanner/faxer/printer
Things I’m Thankful to Cliff For… Showing me you can drive all night after working all week long when you really have some place important to go.
Wow, looks like it's sitting in a meadow of cotton candy. Isn't it fascinating that there is a world of energy beyond what we can see?
Very cool and unique, love this.
Great to see old fashion infrared! I've tried this film long time ago, with amazing results! Snow in hot summer :-)
Lovely soft image...fluffy!
Very cool IR image. I really like this a lot.
tremendous! a very fine infra-red image micki!!
Great job Micki. Very Cool!
Lovely!.
That's so wicked. Wow!
Micki, you do some great stuff with the IR film. I'm going to have to try that sometime. But for now, I'm heading back to the cliffs this afternoon.
This is a lovely subject for IR and the result is very encouraging. The tree is spectacular.
awesome IR!!! beautiful contrast..i love the barn-great focal point surrounding wt bright tone from the trees...u got a perfect sunny day for IR, excellent shot:-))
I am really starting to love the IR shooting. I found a place that will even make your Digicam permanent IR ( I guess for those rich guys that can afford to have more then one body LOL)
They are so beautiful! I just may have to lookin to some filters :-)
wow, great effect! looks like lots of snow :-)
Interesting shot, at first I thought it was a winter scene. Very nice.
This infrared works well. I have never tried this for real, must do it sometime!
what a great shot. i admire you not going digital. this picture reminds me of kansas. i lived there for a while wish i would have had a camera then. your effects are amazing. truly awesome.
Just lovely, have a great weekend!
Great infrared shot! Infrared can be so difficult but you really nailed it here.
Always loved infrared - this one is really stunning. Beautiful.
What a GREAT effect!! Looks good against the black, too. Nice!!
Wow! What a splendit shot. Great effect forthis nice subject!
great stuff Micki - nice to see stuff from different types of film! cheers :)
Your IR experiments are always a treat - that old building is just hovering in ghostly silence, guarded by that gorgeous tree. Wonderful stuff :-)
Wow! Micki, that is crazy cool! :-) Right now, I'm just being a geek, sitting in front of Starbuck's, using a wireless connection. It's my last day at the beach. :-)
I really like that IR effect. Also, as usual, I love the story that goes with the photo. I really like to be out with my camera and talk to people. Someone always wants to talk and I'm more than willing. :-)
lovely lovely capture, the sun, the lighting, the mood, I especially love the clouds.
Nicely done! I love how the infrared film exposed this image (and with no Photoshop help!).
Like the infrared images, They subject photographed really suit the medium.
