Here’s the first IR shot I’m relatively pleased with. I’m finding it difficult to get the shots in focus, perhaps because of the long exposures involved. This one is no exception, but at least it’s relatively focused.

Exposure: 1 sec (1)
Aperture: f/4.9
Focal Length: 22.2 mm

I can’t remember what the ISO was but probably 50 or 100. It’s a shame that this info isn’t recorded (as far as I can work out) as part of the EXIF data. I must crank up the ISO to 400 and see if this helps with the exposure length and thus focus. I guess it’s a trade off between noise and focus.

I’m wondering if it would be possible to paint a scene on a very long exposure using remotes like in Risky or Steve Winwood. Maybe a cluster of remotes all strapped together. The only radiation source being the ir from the remotes, natural or tungsten light sources eliminated. Have to wait for the equipment to arrive and a tripod to do the test.In the mean time, getting ready to shoot for a wedding. The groom is wearing tungsten rings for men and they look amazing with the ir view. The bride with her white gold engagement ring is a bit harder to capture correctly with this setup. I’ll update with more information when I have the time.
