A Walk on the Red Side

Another batch of Infra Red photos taken with the Fujifilm IS-1. This time fitted with a 720nm IR filter. This lets a wider range of light through including visible red. This is what the photos look like as taken by the camera:

A few of the photos from Sunday afternoon's walkies, processed as greyscale and adjusted for contrast, etc..

Walking through the small estate behind my property gave a first glimpse of the church:

Taking a public footpath we went through the churchyard and out through the lych gate:

Across the main street we continued on down a country lane....

.... until we reach our turning point at the large Ash tree:

Returning along the lane we once again entered the churchyard through the lych gate:

Taking a slight detour we wandered through the old part of the graveyard:

Had a look at the only side of the village church which can be seen unobstructed:

Then back along the public footpath homeward bound:

Not too long a walk as Penny was getting hot in the blazing Sunshine.

  2. An experiment with brilliant results John.
    The Ash Tree and the Country lane in particular. You could hang large prints of those two, amazing.

    1. Thank you Roy. Small prints maybe - unfortunately the photos have more noise than I'm used to with Canon gear.

  3. Interesting results John. Very surreal looking.

  4. These are just as dramatic as the ones in the first post.
    Have you tried it at night?
    I have started using Maplin Extra longlife batteries. They seem to last for ages in the strobe lights and are cheap.

    1. Not tried at night yet Adrian.
      Rechargables are now lasting well. While I was waiting for the first batch to charge I used some Duracell Procell - they just about lasted a day!

    2. I have gone back to alkaline batteries. Rechargables are fine for the first half dozen charges but I've never got them to pay for themselves. Duracell I used to buy if they were on offer at the supermarket but I don't think they are much good.
