Infrared
I had my dad’s old Nikon D5200 converted to 590 nm infrared a few months ago. I’d always wanted to try it, experiment, and see where it might take me. It was both challenging and unexpectedly familiar. Technically challenging because there were several adjustments to the settings required in order to obtain suitable images from exposures of a different spectrum of light. Familiar because once I gained momentum, I found it was much the same as visible light photography, just a different color pallet. It also led me to more experimentation with images, perhaps because in my mind’s eye, they weren’t “real” images; anyhow, some of these experimental abstracts appear here because they were derived from IR images and they are, well, abstracts! Images start at the top with some of my first and progress from there downwards.
