Beautiful location. And, as always, color pairing of striking blue and red just works
-- Some rural exploration with FS K-1 and Kolari's 720 and 850nm filters:
Last one is 850nm with pixel-shift. Mind blowing details surpassing my GFX50R easily.
-- From another rural photo mission
Kolari's 850nm. Lens used for above images is Pentax 28mm *FA* f/2.8. So if one is looking for affordable lens with no hotspotting (tested with IR-Chrome, 590, 670, 720 and 850nm) it is a solid option. Note the FA, not F. F-version did not work nearly as good.
Thanks! Love these B&W shots with the white foliage. This look is not easy to get with a Sigma camera, it requires >720nm, long exposure times, and images are hard to judge whether they are correctly exposed on the LCD (everything is oversaturated red). Lots of times the foliage is still relatively dark. I need to do some more testing to nail down a workflow that can produce this result reliably. So I usually stick to color, which I like
Hi Graham. Gorgeous photos. I have an old DP2M and a DP1s that I’m considering converting to full spectrum. There are some instructions on flickr for converting a DP1 but I wondered if I could ask how tricky converting the Merrill was and whether you’re aware of any instructions on the web for that camera? Many thanks, Tony.
