They Could Have Called it Stormy Monday, but Tuesday Will Just Have to Do

Infrared R72 Filter, f/22, ISO 40, 5 minute exposure

Fantastic shot… It looks like a winter storm!

Thanks,

Normally, I would have shot this at 30 sec, f/8, ISO 400 as a RAW/JPEG FINE so I could extract the color data through channel swapping. However, I was set up for another shoot, so I modified the time, ISO and Aperture feeling that since I was dealing with an IR filter and not a modified camera, I could cheat the system. More tweaking yet to do, but love the reaction of the movement in relation to the fixed objects.

Good shooting, Chris.

It works for me!

And me.

I really should treat myself to a screw on infrared filter, but which one should I buy?? Any suggestions anyone?

I'm using the HOYA R72

I'm using the HOYA R72

Thanks for that Chris, but after looking at the Hoya R72 with a 77mm thread at £85, I thought I would look at their 82mm version so I could still use it on my old 77mm filter mount 16-35 zoom lens at 16mm, but with a step up ring that I already own so it wouldn't vignette so much (which all filters do on this old lens unless I get the 82mm variant) and for that filter size they wanted an eye watering £150 - so a bit of a surprisingly large jump in price there I think. So I found this one at SRB Photographic which is the same level and type of filtration, but with an 82mm thread and so I bought that one instead and it was only £29.95.

I have bought quite a bit of stuff from SRB over the years and it has always been good, so worth a try at that price I thought, but anyway, thanks again for the info

My 82mm wasn't quite that much even considering the conversion amount, but it was still quite pricey...I take good loving care of it.
