Something for everyone - color infrared, mono infrared, and straight
color shots with the K3.
A few technical comments beyond what I wanted to put in my blog:
The first shot is color IR because otherwise the leaves of the tree and
the overcast sky virtually blend together. The color gives much better
tonal separation.
I took the second shot in both IR and color (K10D and K3). Invisible in
the IR shot but distracting in the color shot is a good bit of dead
foliage in the foreground. So instead of getting a nice green frame
around the sunken boat there is a distracting green and brown mess of
foliage. The IR shot rendered as mono worked best.
This was the only loation where I used the Takumar F 70-200 and that was
to get frame filling shot of the shipwreck out in the bay. The lens is
wickedly sharp and the detail in the old hulk of a boat is interesting
at actual pixels since you can see a lot of detail - but a smaller image
showing just the wreck out in the water without context is not
interesting so it didn't get posted. At the end of the day I could have
lived without any lens longer than 70mm.
The third shot was probably the most technically challenging in that
there was a persistent glare off the wood hull of the sunken boat and
the algae around it. I was glad I packed a polarizing filter. With the
polarizer and a little post exposure processing things came out OK.
Thanks for looking and comments appreciated.
