Nice! IR lighting has been a challenge. I got interesting results using three of these: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CD... But I pointed one at the ceiling so it bounces. You can see it on the top of the camera here.

Yeah, it's been a really fun thing to explore lately. It really makes you look at the world in a new way. You might find this interesting too. I put it together for some friends to show how the post process works and how much variety in colors you can get.

Some #infraredphotography from the other day. Same scene in 590nm and 850nm low pass filters. The 590 is basically yellow that passes infrared, so you can play with the colors. The 850 filter doesn't let any non-IR light through, so it's monochrome. #photography #monochrome #falsecolor

Infrared image of a railroad overpass next to a set of tracks on the ground. The tracks, the concrete of the overhead, and the horizon all make leading lines to the vanishing point. There is a tree in the center with the characteristic white leaves against the dark sky.

Falsecolor infrared shot of a tree underneath a railroad overpass. The sky is a dark blue fading to cyan near the sun and the horizon. There's a huge lens flare that balances out the pink and magenta tree next to the tracks.

Put together a website for the first time in a while: danrathbun.photography Been working a lot on some Infrared Photography too.

False color infrared photo of a tree in a parking lot behind a strip mall. Because it's infrared, the leaves and grass are a pale pink, while the sky is a deep dark blue fading to teal on the horizon.

More #InfraredCityscapes from the neighborhood. My color palette always comes out a little different each time. I'm not mad at it though. #perspective #infrared #photography #bridges #falsecolor

False color infrared photo of two bridges crossing over a small shallow creek. It's just big old leading lines to the horizon for days. Since it's infrared, the leaves and grass are a pale pink, while the sky is an odd shade of green. It's like a Kodachrome slide of an alien city or something.

Some recent #monochrome #infrared #850nm #photography. The difference between concrete and vegetation isn't as pronounced in the deep wavelengths. It blends the infrastructure into things more, which I'm not sure I like. Needs more experimentation. #InfraredCityscapes #blackandwhite

Messing around this morning with my #Infrared converted #Eos and the 100-500mm. I'm always fascinated by how the colors shift and turn unique as I process them. Very different from my usual minimalist approach. #infraredphotography #flowers #photography #falsecolor

Flowers from in front of my house, shot with a converted Eos R that can see infrared. With post processing, the colors turn amazing shades of blue/purple or magenta. It makes the world seem ethereal.
