Note: If you have never done so, please read my updated profile on my thoughts about the equipment I'm using and infrared photography in general.
Bought some new full-spectrum light bulbs for the kitchen (the food looks better :-) My iPhone freaked - this is the lemonade...
Hasn't been a good week for pics. I'll replace this if I have time...
I realize that the title "Moody morning" makes it sound as if I were in a bad mood. But that was not the case at all. My daughter and I were just visiting this beach to see if it would be a good place to enjoy the sunrise. The sky, however, looked quite moody...
The ruins of Newark Priory, as close as I could get, as its on a private island alongside the River.
Taken with a Full Spectrum converted Lumix DMC-G1 with a 590nm IR filter on the lens. This has not been R-B swapped.
Real time Light Painting, one single exposure.
Nikon D300 (full spectrum conversion), Meyer Optik Görlitz 2/35 for face & skull, lens swap to Helios 44-2 for the bokeh.
This was taken along the River Wey near Triggs Lock. Shot with a Full Spectrum converted Lumix DMC-G1 with a 590nm IR filter fitted on the lens. This image is R-B swapped and then converted to mono.
Probably a stupid idea to do upload this being as Flickr and (your monitor) only really display landscape format properly. This is a vertical pano stitched from 5 landscape oriented images. Seemed like fun at the time !

IR plein spectre + filtre rouge générique; le NEX3 ne peut pas équilibrer les blancs complètement, c'est le résultat après avoir retiré un peu de rouge.
IR full spectrum + generic red filter. The NEX-3 cannot complete the white balance of this kind of picture, this is the result (after some red removal).
Colors Swapped with Khromagery Faux Color Photoshop Action & PP in Aperture.
White Balanced with Seculine ViviCap which works better for the 590nm filter than the grey-card method.
More shots from the top of the hill at Newlands Corner near Gulidford, taken with a Lumix DMC-GF3 I've recently converted to full spectrum. It was a very dull misty morning and I was looking for somewhere to test out the camera. This is one of a load of pics I took a couple of weeks ago but I still haven't finished processing them all yet.

Alright, that one was a bit difficult to expose but I think I made the best of it. I tried a few things but nothing was really adding much to the look I was going for, so the development is quite minimal (post the standard IR moves). However, it still took a good while, cause it's freakin' huge and my computer was struggling a lot, but came out on top eventually.
I like the tansition from the dark foreground to the light at the top, the trees on one side of the river were still hit by sunlight, in the evening. And the "density" of the trees only comes with a more severe panoramic approach, so I like how the river bed creates kind of a spacious tunnel through it.
I dig the IR response of the water too, but I presume, the longer shutter speed here has something to do with it as well. By the way, this is another longer section of the same stream where water gets diverted away into a small power plant, so it's just chugging along here. In spring or after heavy rainfall, it's a different story.
Technically this is a 360° IR panorama, consisting of 42 individual photos, just trimmed a little resulting in a mercator projection with 27236 x 15391px, ~419,2MP. So with 8sec exposures each, total recording time is about 5 and a half minutes without adjustments and test shots.

I don't think I've shared this 720nm infrared development route on Flickr so far (maybe I'm wrong).
Anyway, so I have a ton of IR related presets, profiles and stuff in Lr, not because it works so well (it does not, every shot, panos in particular need to be dealt with individually) but cause I'm lazy and don't like repeating tasks over and over again (e.g. channel swap, basic WB manipulation etc.).
Not sure why, but I always give these somewhat descriptive yet weird/funny names, and this base preset is called 'claret midnight' cause it reminds me of old movies, like in a Western, they used to film during the day, then applied some wonky filter or whatever and just pretended it's actually night, with moonlight! 😝 Hilarious. Anyone remembering this?
I think the clouds are nice though, and before anybody asks: Yes, my legs are huge, fat and crooked, deal with it. 😜
I'm on some track through the thicket with nice late afternoon sun from the side/back, casting long shadows. Did I mention that I dig the clouds? Also the varied coloration of the bushes is interesting, I didn't apply any local adjustments etc., just global development settings, so this was "out there" so to speak, in the hidden infrared world, that's one of the things I like about it. 😊
Source for this is a 27 piece panorama (plus a few extra shots with me in it, sometimes that's fun), with a trimmed mercator projection yielding ~289MP, cropped to a weird square format with 15624px, ~244,1MP. Due to the ² format and Flickr's 'best display size', this lends itself to zooming in.

Wow, for it being all fun and games, a hobby, developing this was pretty annoying! 😤 I would be wise to just leave certain projects alone; for another time in different conditions or for more suitable gear, instead of trying to fix stupid or not-fix-able things. 😧
Anyway, what looks like an experiment during stitching, making it all bendy and stuff, is actually not. This is what happens when you take a 360° panorama on pretty steep terrain.
And that was the best framing I could find, kind of wavy, choosing a projection where the high or low points are split to the sides looks really retarded. 😝
Technically this is a 360° mercator projection consisting of 42 individual photos, yielding 27245 x 15377px, ~419MP, down to a panoramic crop of ~307,2MP.

This was a stormy day, but the bugs were out big time and crawling over the lens, which means, in summer up here, one better takes several shots to pick out the least buggy one. Still some editing was necessary. If the bugs look detailed enough I leave them in, so that people start scratching themselves.
Towards the end of March, I'm on a ridge (with view obviously) and between me and the timbered ridge (a power line must go up there it seems) is actually a basin with a lake; and behind all that, more valleys, basins with a river until the mountains, about 35km away.
For all that, the quality is ok-ish I think, but the infrared spectrum helps getting rid of haze etc.
This is, again, one of those cumbersome panos where I have to switch the tripod head 180° so that the momentum of the long and heavy 80-200mm doesn't unscrew the mount plate from the body. So I have to use the levers of the tripod in reverse which is really weird (but good for the brain I guess) after using it for over 10 years the normal way.
And at effectively 300mm, things have to be rather precise. That's also one of the reasons why I don't want totally beat up vintage glass, cause dealing with zoom-creep on top of such a situation can be an actual problem!
Technically this is a single row 5-piece cylindrical projection in portrait orientation, 12166 x 4296px ~52,3MP, with a panoramic crop down to 8960 x 4242px, 38MP.

That's an example where the development naturally leans towards red. It appears that some principles are universal for IR imaging, or let's just call it my personal preference.
There need to be some elements to provide a balance, an anchor, something "normal", otherwise it is just a tinted mess (in whatever color). The snow here turned out clean, I like it. 😎
And the sky blue; given that this overall style is a bit punchy and shrill, I have no problem with it being a bit punchy too, as long as it is blue.
What I also noticed is that the developed images tend to translate very well to b&w, something I did not anticipate. Luminosity is hard to judge when things are so colorful, it's distracting. But I need to play around and observe this further, to perhaps come to a more informed conclusion.
Enjoyable overall; that particular day, but also the general care-free handheld approach since infrared (related) photography was essentially synonymous with dragging along my tripod with the D90, so.. 😊

Next Fullspectrum Experiment.
I think this will be the last one for now. It's basically the same thing, I did before, but now eith a B+W #081 filter. This cyan-blue filter is also a technical filter and it blocks IR. But it seems to me not as much as the 470 filter I used before. On some photos you can see the pale green typical if shooting foilage with an unfiltered fullspectrum camera. Others show perfect greens. I cannot explain, probably different overlapping effects or a strange transmission curve.
Other than that I get nice colors, but as the filter is very „cold“ WB of course pretty extreme.
I now tried everything I wanted to -- now I should think what I do with this, actual pictures I mean, no experiments. If only I got an decent idea. Well, usually usages come up at some point, when you don't think too much, so I'm confident.
Snagged my first Milky Way core of the year this past weekend. The 330am wakeup call along with frigid temps wasn't easy, but it felt great to be out under the stars again.
Some furter experiments with the full spectrum Sigma SD14 but not much progress because there was not yet a lot of sun in the last weeks. This time with Orange filter where I for some left in BW and others tried to move the color balance in color somewhat.
