Flinders Ranges, South Australia, 17 August 2016
.
This is on third day of the Flinders Ranges workshop.
.
This is The Cazneau Tree. Harold Cazneau photographed it in 1937 and as a consequence it is on the Significant Tree Register of the National Trust as Significant Tree #239.
“This giant gum tree stands in solitary grandeur on a lonely plateau in the arid Flinders Ranges, South Australia, where it has grown up from a sapling through the years, and long before the shade from its giant limbs ever gave shelter from heat to white men. The passing of the years has left it scarred and marked by the elements – storm, fire, water, – unconquered, it speaks to us from a Spirit of Endurance. Although aged, its widespread limbs speak of a vitality that will carry on for many more years. One day, when the sun shone hot and strong, I stood before this giant in silent wonder and admiration. The hot wind stirred its leafy boughs, and some of the living elements of this tree passed to me in understanding and friendliness expressing The Spirit of Australia.”

That is amazing Murray. The first couple are striking in an alien landscape way. Nice work mate.

Everything requires post processing but the way I do infrared is time consuming because it’s complex and I tend to do it differently for each image.

It is worth the time to do them, they are amazing.

Thank you. They are time-consuming. I’ve been learning and discovering new techniques. I’m tending to do them one at a time, then come back later with a fresh mind for the next one.

Great Images indeed! I tried infrared but could not achieve the same results as you did. Maybe one day…I hope!! 🙂

Thank you. I takes a lot of experimentation in post-processing. Here’s an example with a workflow, though mine is somewhat different and developing.

Thank you for your reply and link. The guy in PL uses 550 nm filter and I have got 720 nm. Should I look for another IR camera with 550 nm filter to achieve more colors in IR photography?

He has a 550nm converted camera, I have a 590nm. B&W used to sell a 600nm lens filter, model 009, but it is discontinued. Probably the only lens filter you can get now in the Hoya R72 (720nm), so I’d say you don’t have much choice unless you get a camera converted. {Update: There’s a FOTGA filter from China on Ebay variable from 530nm to 850nm. Fairly cheap but no idea of the quality.) I have a few images here from St Kilda taken with an R72 filter: https://murrayfoote.com/2014/07/09/st-kilda-monochrome-and-infrared/
The difference is that a 550nm or 600nm filter is further into the visible spectrum so it’s easier to get dramatic colours. Still, I could get a lot more colour out of a 720nm filter these days now that I know more about post processing. Here is an indication of where you start from with different filters: https://kolarivision.com/articles/choosing-a-filter/

Once more thank you for your prompt reply. I have not been precise in my last post for my camera, Nikon 7200, had been converted to include 720 nm IR filter. I may look for another camera body to convert it to include 550 nm IR filter for I like dramatic colors one can get from it, Thank you for the links to your pics and to ‘kolarvision’ site. All the best
