Infrared on the Land, IR Photography of the Rural Landscape

Over the last month I’ve been doing a lot of photography out in the country. Some of this has been of wild areas but much of it has been the rural farm country. I shot with my converted for infrared Canon 350D digital camera, mostly with either my Canon 100-400mm L series lens or with a Tamron 10-24mm f3.5-4.5 lens I have on loan for review.So here are a selection of images from these shoots.

The drought is still showing its mark on the landscape

Highly changeable light happens with the right density of clouds in the sky

The Tamron 10-24mm lens is great for big sky images

One of my favourite places to shoot is just outside Gisborne

Great shots Wayne. I shoot a lot if IR too. It looks like you have the white balance very well set, many times I have it off a little and get the red tint to my photos. I use a Nikon D40X converted to IR and am very happy with it. Also I do a lot of false color in Photoshop Elements, just simple adjustments. Nice work!

  Thanks Steve. Yes I do use a custom white balance on my converted camera and that gets the colour just right. I also do individual channel adjustment later in PS as I want to so I can shift the colour further if it suits the image.
