WARREN CONNECTICUT – More infrared. This time without the R72 filter, which means that the trees in the distance are rendered fairly naturally. I shot the same scene with the R72 (which blocks all visible light) but didn’t care for the all white rendering of the trees.
Day 2306 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1576): Post office
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Today I shot winter landscape with my IR-modified Sony camera, using legacy Leica lenses and an R72 filter that blocks all visible light. I don’t like this combination with foliage – green foliage is rendered bright white, which is actually weird. But in the winter or on the desert, where there is little green foliage (especially in our Eastern deciduous forrest) it is really interesting. Here you go.
Day 2305 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 479): Luck Tanner’s field
NEW YORK NEW YORK – So my Sony A7ii is back from being converted to infrared light. Its bandpass is designed to let in some visible red light which converted to black and white produces a fairly subtle infrared effect. Adding an R72 filter in front of the lens cuts out all visible light and leads to extremes looking effects. I’m shooting today with legacy Leica lenses and an R72 filter.
Day 2304 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1939): Jodhpur
WARREN CONNECTICUT – We had some old friends up as houseguests and put on a major meal for New Years Eve. Self-catering on a large scale is a bit involving, and I didn’t feel like photographing the party, so I made a few quick runs outside for views of a bleak day.
New Years resolution: I have a small collection (actually four) of Zeiss Ikon lenses from the 1930s. I’ve resolved to fill out some focal length gaps on eBay – these lenses sell for very little, and spend the month of January shooting only with Carl Zeiss Jena lenses from the 1930s.
Day 2268 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 1172): Luke Tanner’s Truck. I was obviously having a similar experience three years ago.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I took a break from dirty snow today to shoot a sunrise silhouetting trees. Then I went back to . . . dirty snow.
Day 2005 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 544): Straight up. One of my favorites. I’m currently using a crop from it as my banner for this site.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – You’ve heard me complain about April in Warren. Here is more dirty snow.
Day 2004 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,638): Back Gate. As I’ve edited images from the past ten years this one has stood out as a favorite. No big deal. I was just their at a good moment with a camera.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Our last day here before departing for Antigua for some relief from bad weather. Speaking of bad weather, here it is almost the last week in March and we’ve suffered another bout of snow. Still shooting with my Leica Monochrome but the courtyard image is 8 frames taken with my Leica T and a long lens and stitched.
Day 1,982 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,617): Goodnight moon.
