Description Right in the middle of nowhere, on the side of a narrow, winding country road leading to a special, kind of surreal little village in Northern Chios (Pytios), a village where time, seasons and space somehow loose their meaning and news from the outer world never reach you. The bench accompanying the lonely tree overlooks nothing in particular, just a plain, barren field, yet it's the perfect place to lose yourself and to be lost for a while.

This is one of my very first attempts at Infrared photography. I hadn't dared to take a picture of this tree before because sometimes a shot doesn't capture a memory, it destroys it horribly. When I saw how infrared filters work I thought that it was the only way to capture the unreal quality of this place.

Mine too (from my infrared work that is!) For some reason I find that the camera converted to take only IR shots doesn't produce such richly contrasted images and tones as the IR filter

Well, I hope you manage to get some more IR shots in again one day.

(Of course, you could always get a medium or large format film camera and shoot some IR film and see how that turns out...!)

there's this one too [link]
taken with the converted camera. Actually I' ve been thinking about buying a Nikon D70 so I can use the filter again

thelizardking25 In reply to justeline [2011-06-19 19:27:17 +0000 UTC]

It's a nice shot - does seem to have a little less contrast - is that what you meant re the difference between a converted camera and using an IR filter? (Good idea re D70 though...)

I'm fine thanks The snow is melting and pretty soon the trees will start to blossom! And the ground will be dry! Can't wait to wash my car, haha! When you can manage to keep the car clean more than a few days, thats one of the signs of spring!

Hope that your great and that you get to shoot some more marvelous photos

Best regards ^^

I have a question, I'm an amateur photographer, and I was wondering how does infrared photography done?

justeline In reply to dillonthedamnedphoto [2010-10-19 15:46:42 +0000 UTC]

Hi Dillon, in digital cameras infrared photography is achieved with an IR filter (i used the Hoya R72)
There is a helpful tutorial here [link] that covers the most important topics, have a look at it and tell me if you have any more questions
