The Chase by Syd Winer
‘The Chase’ depicts racing cyclists at speed and is part of a series called ‘The Riders’ that was shot on Kodak color infrared film. See the full series in my bubblesite. The distinctive colours and grain of the series are characteristic of the film. The motion blur was captured in-camera by using camera panning and slow shutter speeds – ranging between 1/15th and 1/2 second. A 28mm wide angle lens further added to the distortion and impression of speed. The camera was a vintage (early ‘80s) Pentax K1000. Digital manipulation was limited to minor contrast correction and dust removal post scanning. Abstract is one image from a series called The Riders that was exhibited at The Centre for Creative Photography in Adelaide in March 2008 and again twice in 2009 – at the Epson Gallery at Photographic Wholesalers in Hutt Street, Adelaide and in March 2009 at the Nexus Community Gallery in Bellingen NSW as part of the Sibling Rivalry show.

The Afternoon At Long Reef by Peter Hill
I remember the day well. I got a parking ticket. It was a Friday afternoon at Long Reef on Sydney’s northern beaches. We had had a cool beer and a long lunch at the golf club, sitting outside checking the sky and the tide, before venturing out onto the headland. I had all my gear with me but chose to shoot the low tide with the infra red camera, a converted Canon EOS 10D. Framing the shot sorta wasn’t hard! Oh, yes, I almost forgot. It was my birthday too.

in the gardens of my dreams by Juilee Pryor
I’ve been flaffing about lately putting up snapshots of trips and old little random things and that’s been lots of fun but time I went back to what I really love again and that’s stark black and white Infrared landscape shots… just for a while. This was taken at the Botanical Gardens down by Circular Quay near the Opera House and has a dark stillness to it that really appeals to the formalist within me

About This Group
Exploring the world through infrared eyes.
So what is infrared photography??
The peculiarities of infrared photography lie in it’s ability to capture what the eye cannot see. Infrared photography captures radiation wavelengths just beyond the visible spectrum. Characteristics of infrared photographs are deep black skies, bright white foliage and sometimes bright blue skies. Often quite mundane scenes can be transformed into extraordinary images when captured with infrared.
How do I take infrared images?
Most cameras are fitted with sensors to cut out infrared light. To combat this you will need to attach an infrared filter to your camera. These are referred to as R72 filters. You will probably need long exposures so a tripod and a shutter release cable will be a must. To get the best results always shoot in RAW. You may also want to set a custom white balance. Do this by shooting at a patch of green grass. Also remember, that infrared photography works best during the heat of the day.
