Random urban landscape (530nm IR)

As you can tell, just for fun, nothing 'serious', end of February, no vegetation, all brown still, kind of unpredictable weather. I was 'waiting' for filters to arrive, so I gave myself permission to just go outside, roam around, shoot some handheld infrared, easygoing, no aim or much expectation.

 

I went down my (by now almost established) 'digital Aerochrome' development route, but already, it was evident that it's a tad off, it shifts more towards purple even though it's just a little longer in wavelength (~20nm). It appears that the range from 500 - 600nm is pretty interesting, kind of a mixed zone and for much of it, I don't really have nice ways of development yet. Need to work on that 😊

But I'm really falling for the skies in that range, somewhat natural looking, yet with that crisp infrared pop. Perhaps the vegetation vs sky is not far off an analogous color scheme, since there is often some tint in clouds also. Or when cloudless sky has some green-ish stain, torwards aqua (which I usually correct if I can), it would be complementary to purple, pink etc. I guess. 🤔 Anyway..

 

 

Technically, it's a 5 piece pano, cylindrical stitch, finished off with 15629 x 5924px, ~92,6MP.

Hoya HMC UV-Haze(0) 1x filter

ISO100, 28mm, f/8, 1/125sec (-0.7EV)

(therefore 42mm full frame equivalent)

 

..but I just recently realized, that the adapter makes it significantly longer (to assure full coverage I suppose), more like 50mm+ or so, manual focus, handheld
