Infrared Three

The Colonnade in Northeast Kansas City.  Experimenting again with infrared photography.
 I compose and focus the image, then adjust the focus for infrared, add the filter to the front of the lens, and shoot.   The filter blocks 100% of the visible light leaving only the infrared to reach the sensor.   No way to meter the light so trial and error applies.



 Above, this is what the image looks like coming right out of the camera, and, below, after adjustment in Photoshop.

Infrared

Experimented with infrared photography today.  Read online where the Nikon D800 was not usable for same, but then Roy Inman found an article online that said otherwise.  Otherwise is correct.  My IR filter is 67mm and I currently have no lenses of that diameter... so, had to hold the filter in front of my 50mm lens.   Works but not optimal.  I had forgotten how difficult IR can be.   Above, Indian Mound, below, the KC skyline from Kessler Park.
