Pete - IR and OCF by John Conway

John Conway

Pete - IR and OCF by

Pete had this idea… IR and use of (his beloved) Off Camera Flash.

and here is the result, sorry about the dodgy model :)

f/16
ISO 100
1/200sec

PWII used, set on 1/4 power, light stand for flash was the garden hedge :)

Light positioned on camera right, no modifiers used, no artificial preservatives either. :)

About John Conway

After dabbling as a teenager with film (and the subsequent home “dark room”) a 25 year gap ensued before the bug bit again…. digital being the instigator. Trying to make up for lost time.

Have been lucky enough in the last 5 years in my return to meet up with talented and just as importantly, enthusiastic photographers, all striving to better themselves, something that I am trying to do.

    I absolutely love this, John. It’s so hard to get good tones in IR, and you’ve managed to achieve awesome DOF here. Unreal.
