Infrared cloudscapes, 04 June 2022

Between rainstorms I took the opportunity to take some rubbish to the bin (here there are large communal bins rather than individual bins for each house) and noticed clouds behind the neighbours’ orchard. I grabbed a quick photo on my phone but just knew it would be a treat in infrared. I took a fewContinue reading “Infrared cloudscapes, 04 June 2022”

Digital infrared with the modded Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8, 06 May 2022

After the full spectrum modification of the Lumix DMC-TZ8, I took it out for a test drive with the Hoya 720nm IR filter. On the whole I was delighted with the quality of the infrared images created.

The fire break, 24 April 2022

The local authority cut a fire break through the woodland to minimise the risk of wildfires spreading. Infrared photograph with modified Canon Powershot A1400 and 720nm Infrared filter.

Digital infrared with the modded A1400, 06 April 2022

Popped out to the shops today and as it was lovely and clear I thought, why not take the Powershot A1400 and do some digital infrared?

Digital infrared on a windy day, 01 April 2022

After a cloudy start it turned into a clear but windy day. Still, it was an opportunity to take out the DSLR and R72 filter for some infrared photography.

Infrared street photography in Águas Boas, 19 March 2022

It was a lovely sunny day again, so it was a chance to take the R72 IR filter to Águas Boas for some infrared urban photography. These images are taken from the JPGs rather than using the RAW files and were processed in SnapSeed. They came out rather well.

Experiments with Infrared, 18 March 2022

I’ve been wanting to dabble with infrared (IR) photography for a while. The last time was in the early 1980s, with Kodak’s famous infrared film, but that’s not been available for a long time. I bought a little Canon digital to turn into a full-spectrum camera (more about that soon) but in the meantime IContinue reading “Experiments with Infrared, 18 March 2022”

#shittycamerachallenge — Afternoon in the park, 7 January 2022

Finally have the images back from our afternoon in the park with Diana F+ for the #ShittyCameraChallenge. My attempts at image stacking were a dismal failure, mind.

Afternoon in the park, 7 January 2022

Out in Oiã with the Diana F+ for the #shittycamerachallenge, we went to the town’s park. These photos are similar to the ones we will hopefully get next week when the film is developed.

Playing with pano, 26 October 2021

Learning more about my DJI Pocket 2. Today, in anticipation of a trip to Aveiro, it was time to practise with the panorama settings. I headed out to Águas Boas before heading home on my normal route through the woods.

Out in the woods, 22 October 2021

As the sun dipped towards the horizon, it was time for a walk in the woods.

Natural world #CloseUp, 19 September 2021

We have a Cypress in the back yard that no matter how hard we try will not grow properly. Now various parts are dying off at different rates, though the colours of the leaves as the life fades are striking.
