Infrared nightfall

Photoshoot is done, home I go, can't resist to take quick shot back against the fading light and the silhouettes of the trees and the hunting stand on the hill.

Not sure what influence / effect of doing it on the IR spectrum had here (compared to a regular image); I mean for black & white. But I did some experimental developments too, where the sky turned out super orange and glow-y; with that it certainly paid off.

 

Was kind of conflicted which one to share. I still am actually.. 😮 😭

Do you wanna see it?

 

And by the way: This was done with the arguably "worst NIKKOR ever made", according to some. Granted, this is the third iteration, the AI version which doesn't seem to compare to the earlier Auto, C or K versions (all pre-AI). I think it's great performer, with visible light, but also on the near IR spectrum where it surprisingly peaks at a rather small aperture, f/11, which is no problem since there is hardly any hotspot to be found and also makes for a larger DOF, ..so very nice for landscape.
