A few days ago I posted one of my first infrared black and white images and I thought I would share another image from the same outing (click the thumbnail on the left to view image in full size) in this little quick post.
I like this image because it has an almost ‘other worldly’ quality even though it is of course just a piece of decayed, weathered wood sticking up through the water in a lake. I really enjoy isolating small scenes in nature like this in an effort to simplify things.
If you are considering upgrading your current DSLR then don’t throw it away or sell it for next-to-nothing on Ebay.
Instead consider having your old DSLR converted to a dedicated infrared camera which can be a lot of fun to shoot with. Life Pixel Infrared Conversion Services is the company that converted my Canon 20D and I have been happy with the results. I had a ‘Standard IR’ conversion done to the camera, but you also have the option of ‘Enhanced Color IR’ or ‘Deep BW IR’ conversions.
I have not been shooting a lot of infrared images yet, but I plan to shoot some infrared coastal scenes soon as well as some landscapes with some foliage included in the scene as foliage can often look amazing in infrared. I will be sure to share some of the results here on Photography 24/7.
