Fuji IS-1 (Part 3)
This time a walk down an old lane which gives views across to the Lincolnshire Wolds:
A wide angle view across the fields towards Louth:
This telephoto view I have taken many times in colour.
Rising above the valley the 295 ft (90m) spire of Louth's St. James' Church can be seen.
It usually gets lost among the distant foliage but with IR the stone shows in good contrast with the tree leaves:
The main problem with the old Fuji IS-1 is the rate it eats batteries. It uses standard AA cells but the indicator was already showing red after just two short outings. No use using rechargeable ones as they have a lower voltage to start with. I have ordered a modified Canon 350D which should be here in about a week as it is coming from Romania. With the modified cameras the IR filter is fitted inside the camera, replacing the manufacturer's normal filter which stops IR.
Final batch from this infra red series tomorrow.

Fuji IS-1 (part 2) + News of Adrian
Wrought iron gates:
When I've tried photographing this gate in colour it seemed impossible to get it to stand out from the background. IR did the job just fine by making the background vegetation a light colour.
I received an email from Richard of Owls + Other Birds who managed to trace where Adrian has been staying. He spoke to the farmer's wife who told him that Adrian is absolutely fine.
Internet problems are keeping him away from blogging at the moment.

When Green Becomes Grey
Yesterday was a day for another experiment with the Fujifilm IS-1. This time fitted with a green filter and the shots saved as greyscale in the camera:
All the above were auto adjusted using Irfanview which gave better results than trying the same thing in Elements.
The final one was given a different treatment, this time using Paint.NET and choosing a Metallize effect filter:
It ended up looking as though it was taken in bright Moonlight instead of bright Sunlight, a dramatic effect I quite like.
