First go at IR - be nice!

Yay - the used 5dmkii is back and took it out for a spin. It was 590m converted via lifepixel. Found it a little old school to use vs my Canon 6dMk2 and i know I can improve on focus etc. I actually found the liveview alittle hard to use in bright conditions. Anyway I'm sure the post processing could be improved but delighted to finally have a go at this!

This looks really cool Graeme! Congrats on getting the camera back.

What a cool looking tower. Is it an ancient tower? Or one used for coal refining? No matter, it's so cool with those outside stairs going up it like that.

I like both of these a lot! You did awesome with the foliage turning yellow! I like your look here!

 

[Graeme F]

Thanks Jim. Yes it's an old lead mine chimney near home. About 150 yrs old

Nice way to start out with your new/old camera.

An item that might help for trying to do fine focus with the 5D2 is a Hoodman Loupe. I bought one of these years ago when my 5D2 was a new camera and I was having the same problem in bright sunlight.

Great first try, only the foliage gives it away as IR.

Most excellent... ....welcome to the other side. Can't wait to see more.

I've never heard of a hoodloupe Alan. That's intriguing alright thankyou

That is a much better beginning of your IR journey than mine was. I got one of those loupes as well and is useful with live view in bright conditions.

 

[Alisa]

Very cool!

Like Amy said, welcome to the other side. I dig #2, but nicely done on both.
