Today’s little adventure was a trip down to Tocumwal, for a few photos of the old railway bridge.
Having a drone, with a great camera makes aerial perspectives so much easier.No traffic anymore.I have a love for bridges, especially old metal and wood ones.
As a photographer, I have always been interested in experimenting with light within images.
Recently, I was reading about full spectrum photography. For those who are not up with this term, it is photography, with a camera that has been specially converted. The IR filter within the camera is removed. This can be a very difficult task with the majority of cameras, but I discovered one camera that allowed me to convert it, by removing in total 9 screws, lifting out the filter holder, then replacing the filter holder, minus the IR filter, and re-assemble.
As a result, you now have a camera which is capable of capturing all light, not removing the IR spectrum. So, all the light is allowed and you attain images as above.
I will be going out to get some more dramatic images. For those interested in full spectrum photography, the camera I chose is the Panasonic Lumix TZ-6. A quick look online and these go for ~$500 converted, but I was able to pick one up, un-converted on Ebay for ~$50.
I’ve had more of a hankering to try some full spectrum photography. It’s especially good for nights, skyies and some other cool results.
It’s a little Panasonic Lumix TZ6. And this will be the surgery.
See what a brain that doesn’t slow down get you 8nto . . . Should be fun.
I only paid $47 for it on Ebay, with $12 postage, so woth a shot.
Basically, I will remove the IR filter ( a simple job for this model, hence why I bought it). This will allow the sensor to see infra-red, ultra violet and more.
