IR with the s9500 - Round 2

Mohain · 24 Apr 2006 at 22:50

Just wanted to post 3 more samples of IR shots using my Fujifilm Finepix s9500. I've actually taken loads but I've not got many that I'm happy with, but these are postable. The main problem is that you only have 30 secs max exposure, even on Bulb mode! So you need some pretty decent light. The hotspot changes in size and shape depending on focal length and is too intense to deal with at around 50mm (Equiv.).

Anyway, enough blurb, here are the examples:

Let us Pray

Low Frequency Landscape

Abandoned

C & C welcome.

I'll keep trying, getting lighter in the evenings and I'm going to Devon for a long weekend this weekend so see what's on offer

Cheers,

Mohain

Wow, great photos. Thanks for posting

Not to struck on No1 but 2 & 3 are excellent, got a really nice feel to them

The grave stone really ruins shot 1 for me. I think if it just wasnt there it would be excellent as the church is positioned perfectly. Number 3 is just plain awesome!

Thanks for the comments chaps. I can try 'shopping the gravestone out ... (lol, joking

)

Can't wait for all the leaves to appear on the trees so I can go mad with the filter

Expect forum flooding soon

Mohain, 2 and 3 are both really nice. I tried adjusting the levels in no.3 and gave it more punch but you maybe liked the more muted effect you already have?

Nice shots 1 and 2 stand out for me, how bad is the hotspot btw? I used to readily have to burn the hotspot out when i shot with my dimage 5, a lot of the time it is fixable

Thanks Steep and ST8.

Steep, I don't mind you editing, feel free to post it if you want.

ST8 The hotspot is usually large and soft and does need burning, colour replacement, etc etc to deal with. It's a right pain TBH and at certain focal lengths it's too intense to deal with.

Cheers,

Mohain

If you insist, this is what I meant

That looks a lot better!!!

Nice photos as usual Mohain.

Thanks Steep. I think your image says 'nice day with IR filter' rather than having a dead/abandoned feeling I think mine has. Perhaps something in between the two is needed? Also I think I'm going to fork out on a calibration as these looks miles different on my home monitor to my work's one. And thanks Colin
