My humble FIRST IR shot of Admiralty Park of the year 2010 :)

[SurrealDreamWalker]

Dear friends,

Due to being 'poisoned' by bro Ah Chua's awesome macro shots of insects, i decided to try it by joining bro peterpan's wolf-spider macro-photog outing @ Admiralty Park on 15 January (Saturday).

Hence this is my humble FIRST IR shot for the year 2011* :sweat:

These were my macro-shots.

Just like your nick bro..
Very surreal
Saw your macro shots...you caught the bug too
Nice to know you also using the reversed method..seems pretty cool..

Thanks bro for your compliment

Yeah the reverse method using 50mm primes lens is a poor man's alternative to shooting macro at 1:1.. but the working distance may be too close for some insects' comfort... :sweat:

I am thinking of saving up for a special macro lens. as well as getting proper flash lights and macro lens plate for my tripod... all the combined cost may crack my poor piggy bank..

i love it...composition cun..can boost up color saturation???

 

[SurrealDreamWalker]

@ bro iVintage: apology... as the outing had a limited intake of interested participants as decide by the organiser. Ok next time i will put in your name after mine

@ lixin: thank you for dropping by, your compliment and feedback. For this shot, boosting up its saturation will cause 'noise' to be oblivious. So, i prefer it as it is... :embrass:

Paiseh... my thread title should be "... of the year 2011".. :embrass:

Stumbled upon IR photography recently and was already getting confused with all the camera mods, filters, etc.

Today saw a new thing, "reverse stacking" of lens. whoa this whole DSLR photography thingy is really really chim

not really lar... take it slow, learn step by step. start from the basics, work into one field first before moving into another

check out the writeups on the mods

as for filters, u have to google limwhow's experiments with the various cutoffs. if i got time, i'll try collate both the mods and the filters and see if we can get them stickied together for ease of reference or something:think:

Hi Jlim,

Don't worry You'll understand by reading up on the stickies posted in the relevant sub-forum here. And joining the outings to learn from other experienced shooters.

OT a bit, were you born in 1976 as in the number after your nick :think:

@Allen: ya I've read thru your guide keke and probably may just get a Hoya R72 to test it out. But mmm cannot take portraits, and I'm not so much of a tripod person, shall see how it goes. Anyway i still have lots to learn in normal photography lol.

@Surreal: this sub-forum sure got a lot of stickies, gonna be lots of readup. And bingo, year of the dragon.
