590nm IR Shots

Here a couple of shots taken on my full-spectrum 450D with a 590nm filter fitted to the lens.

After some initial trouble I feel like I'm starting to get somewhere with false-colour IR although for some random reason I have to convert to tiff in Lightroom before I can get the white balance anywhere near right!

Really pleased I captured an insect flying out through the gap here. This was taken on the full-spectrum 450D using a 950nm IR filter.

Rebecca in Bristol

Long time, no posting - apologies! Spending far too much time playing the guitar!

Anyhow - a shot from a night shoot in Bristol of the model, Rebecca.

Derwentwater in the 'Golden Hour'

Photographers often aim to take outdoor pictures in the 'Golden Hour' - the hour before sunset. This is because you can get a beautiful warmth to the light and the low position of the sun in the sky often makes for more interesting shadows than when the sun is higher.

This was shot at the shore of the beautiful Derwentwater (or Derwent Water). I took two shots at combined them in Photomatix to retain sky and foreground detail.

2016_52 - Week 1 - Metal

I've decided to attempt the 2016_52 challenge having not completed one since 2010!

 

Each week a topic is picked and all participants attempt to take a shot matching the title.

 

Week 1 was metal.  Thought I'd try and get some molten metal! Used a 70D on a tripod (useful having the articulated screen!) and a 580EX2 off camera on a stand. Manual focussed, put it on a timer and tried to get lots of smoke!
