A new view – near infrared…
At long last I took the plunge and had an old camera converted to near infrared 🙂 It is genre I have long admired and more recently the beautiful work of some fellow bloggers – Infrared Robert, Cybeleshine and Jan Flieger to name but a few. I took my first images on Friday and in the last 36 hours I’ve had a lot of fun and an equal amount of disasters. I thought I would share these two taken from outside our house this morning (not the most exciting scenery!) …I have SO much to learn 🙂 🙂

Good work – you are doing exactly as I did when I began – shooting close to home and then running inside to process – before long you will be a pro and I cannot wait to see what you capture in your surrounding areas.
Thanks Robert. I’m looking forward to spring growth which isn’t very far away – I think the vineyard will be a very good source of images to start with 🙂
Interesting change of pace. We’ll be calling you infrared Lisa soon. Great shots.
Lol! Thanks – it’s certainly going to be a big learning curve 🙂
Nice work!
Thanks Pat.
Great job Lisa, I’m a big fan of IR. But haven’t got round to giving it a proper go. Keep it up I cant wait to see what else you come up with 🙂
Thanks Ed, certainly the start of a new photographic adventure 🙂
How fascinating, Lisa! This bears some serious looking into!
Very nice indeed.
(just looked at the weather forecast and its going to be good weather all week, Lisa).
Thank you. Yes we even have tops of 17C up here!
I can see youre going to have such fun with IR 🙂
These are great. It really does change things up… Cant wait to see more!
Am late replying – thank you and when I get some ‘real’ time I am going to have fun 🙂
Are you almost done with pruning or more to go?
I know you’ll have fun with it. I think IR is going to suit your style very much 🙂
I owe you a reply 😉
I think it’s because I love the snow so much and IR makes things look like they have snow on them, makes me love these photos. This makes me want to get a camera and convert it to IR and do some of my shots with that. I was going to take my Nikon D7000 and convert it but I ended up selling it instead. Can’t wait to see more from you in the future! 🙂
Hi Justin, am late replying! Thank you and so far am glad I committed!!
woo hoo lisa!! Fantastic!! Welcome to the dark side lol!! We have infrred cookies!!
Lol! Yes, I crossed to the other side and am very excited to be so – now I am taking these images I appreciate yours even more so 🙂
Very striking stuff, Lisa >>> I’m posting about infrared (not up to this standard!) tomorrow, and my post will be giving a link to this one. Adrian

[…] dimly, in the back of my mind. I’m not yet going as far as a blogging friend of mine, Lisa Kimmorley, who has had a DSLR modified for IR photography, but I have had thoughts in that […]
This is the only way to go if you want true IR. These are stunning, Lisa.
Thanks Andy – only baby steps at the mo! Am looking forward to an IR spring 🙂
IR will bring a new dimension to Spring. I look forward to seeing the results.
WOW!!
🙂
Stunning images, the foliage is very striking.
Thank you and for taking time to comment!
I must admit to not being a fan of infrared but I’m interested to see what you come up with. Maybe you’ll convert me?! 😀
Hi Noeline. It isn’t everyone’s cup of tea that’s for sure and I have seen some that is really awful…I don’t intend on going down that route and I suspect I will be using it judiciously 🙂
