DARE'S SAMPLE INFRARED PHOTOS

NEW! Used my Hoya R72 infrared filter on my newer Canon T1i DSLR to see if it would work out as well.  Here, for example, is an original JPG image with the following exposure:
  • 1/500 second
  • f/14.0
  • 3200ISO

In the summer of 2006, I aquired a used Hoya R72 infrared filter, and starting taking some pictures around my yard.  I used GIMP to post-process the pictures (Colors/Levels/Auto + Colors/Desaturate/Brightness), and some samples are below.  Click on any of the pictures if you want to view a larger version.
