Photo #8 (Spectrums)

There are two of you out there who make regular and very generous donations to my work. The most recent one goosed me to spend the bucks to have one of my old Canon T6s converted to infrared (which costs more than the camera is worth), and which opens up a whole new, surreal arena for imagery.

About an hour ago. With infrared, bad light is good light. It’s great in that way. (This one was done with an IR filter since my converted camera is not back yet. This means the exposure time was about 30 seconds; so my neighbor moved and is not sharp. Better coming.)

This is one example. Thing is, with this sort of shooting it’s all in the post processing. I’ve made about 20 versions of this and I am just starting to learn how it works. 

You all likely know about the electromagnetic spectrum, right? Just about everything that ‘creates’ our physical reality (many additions) is on that spectrum, visible light being a tiny slice of it.

(I mean if you believe it’s all… actually real. Evidence keeps piling up that… but that’s for another day. )

The way my camera is now set up, it does not register any visible light at all; only infrared, which is basically heat. Interesting the way it (the photo) looks so familiar anyway.

I haven’t gotten a new $3.25 a month donator in many months. Maybe one. Before that, not for… a couple years actually. Sort of depressing. And believe me, it’s not the money. I don’t do anything for money. I’m sure you get my drift.
