Chapter 194 - cambIRdge
this is the IR in Cambridge series (hence the title.. geddit? ;p).
the facts:
the camera: Nikon F5
the lens(es): Nikon 18-35mm, Nikon 28-200mm, Zenitar 16mm fisheye
the film: Kodak HIE (High speed IR film)
filters: none used
Disclaimer: this is NOT your usual black & white photography, which relies on visible light. Infrared photography captures all reflected infra-red light, which gives a good contrast for certain compositions as seen below.
King's College. it's quite grainy and slightly fogged out due to the use of the Zenitar fisheye, with a red-coloured attachment.
I kinda liked the contrast in the picture. The grass is white as it reflects infra-red. PS. nope, it was not snowing...
My only wish is that the two people in the photo was holding hands... would have been a picture perfect moment...
The driveway into Trinity college....
Any comments on any of the shots is very much appreciated... ;p

Chapter 193 - The Far End of the Spectrum
Today, I discovered the Infra-red spectrum... Or rather, discovered the joys of infra-red... ;p Tried to do some infra-red photography today with my Nikon F5. It turned out quite well I must say. And then I went to check out how digital ones were done - which I found out to be relatively disappointing - it was mostly photoshopped stuff... Anyhow, I tried playing with some of the images I already had, and here are some of the results...
The UN Headquarters in New York, in a different "light"
Byodo-In on Hawaii
More REAL shots in IR film to follow soon enough.. ;p
