Really?? Looks black and white to me. Please explain.

as far as my understanding goes, the image is made up of the infra-red wavelengths emitted / reflected off surrounding objects, rather than the visible light normally used to form the image. I've noticed IR photography produces really sharp images

Infrared photography takes a pic of light that is being reflected and not seen by the eye. Some cameras can be converted while others can use special filter attached to the lens that allows only certain light rays to pass. The image is normally red out of the camera and must be adjusted to get either a colour or b/w effect. Leaves and other vegitation reflect lots of light and will come out white as seen below. Skies that are blue can come out black. Some people like the effect while others think it is a waste of time.

Very interesting, thank you both. This wasn't about whne i did my GCSE's and A levels in photography and to achieve those kind of result with such "drama" in the contrasts would have taken a good few hundred shots of the subject, allowing for bracketing either side of the ideal set up and then hours of messing about in the darkroom trying to get the right exposure onto the paper. Oh boy i miss being in a drakroom, that was always fun and magic at the same time.

Anyway, sorry folks my indulgently self educational derai is now over...carry on like it never happend wont you :)

Very nice :) it has really good depth of field and i like the way the light hits the wings, very good. If you had access to photoshop i think maybe it could be even better with a tighter crop of the dragonfly

This is a re post for quiff as ive tried sending it him about 30 times via PM and email and it never works. Its his pic but re-cropped and with the levels played with. Does it work? can people see it? lol

It does work Ploppy. Nicely cropped, but it looks a little grainy. Did you just copy and paste it directly from the internet or get the original image???

Ploppy
16-07-09, 10:01 PM
its copied from Quiffs post, i kinda stole it 8-[ because of this its unfortunately grainy, on photoshop if you zoom into the boats on the horizon they just look like huge square pixels... d'oh

Not so sure, if you crop it too much then the dragonfly has no where to go so to speak.

Great pic.

I did photography at school 25 odd years ago and out of 15 pupilsthere was only 2 of us guys in the class. I have a few stories from the darkroom but no one would ever believe me :D

However thats not the only reason i miss the darkroom.... was great developing your own prints and burning, dodging etc to get the look you wanted. I guess PS CS3 is my darkroom now.
