Britannia Shipyard Infrared 6996e

We had a sunny afternoon on Sunday. Bright sunny day is good infrared day to me. So I went to Britannia Shipyard and had a few IR shots.

 

How can we have fresh views on the familiar scenes? We shoot them in different light.

 

- shoot them on sunrise

- shoot them at sunset

- shoot day time long exposure

- shoot them at night

- shoot them in back light

- shoot them in blue hours

 

To achieve more drastic redefinition of tones, we strip off the colors and we take B&W shots.

 

To do even more aggressive re-distribution of tones, we take infrared shots. Infrared is the typical example of “what you see is not what get” in photography.

 

We cannot accurately project how the scene will look like in infrared since things have different reflectivity with infrared.

 

It is more and more becoming a guess work to me when I do infrared. But this is the part with most fun. There has to be something not totally under your control and that is where the fun comes from. It is very different from something you try to do with editing software.

 

Happy Monday and happy week to all of you!
