First day of infrared season

nobody@ipernity.com (depscribe) — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 20:28:47 +0000

Went to the local store and, it being a beautiful day, took along thr Fuji 720nm-infrared-converted camera, as usual with the 14mm f2.8 Fujinon. As I left the store, I heard clop-clop-clopping and had about one second to grab the camera, turn it on, and make a picture.

Clear sky, lush foliage

Shot in 720nm infrared, desaturated in the GIMP because it looked as if there is a faint color hotspot in the picture. I have to remember to move the aperture off of "auto" to f8 or f11 to avoid this. But I'm happy with this picture of a favorite field in monochrome.

Resurrection Lily

Not really a lily but a kind of amaryllis. A long, leafless stem appears quickly, then the buds and blooms on top. A lovely surprise on hot midsummer days.

Some kind of ironweed -- I think

This bug can kill you

It's a (common name) Eastern Bloodsucking Conenose, a species of "kissing bug" capable of carrying a potentially fatal parasite. It sucks your blood and bites you on your lip. At night. While you're asleep. And it's found over much of the U.S. This one, I'm very sad to say, was in my bathroom sink. Yesterday.

A processing lesson

After looking at the previous picture, I realized I'd allowed the highlights to get blown out. In infrared, at least in the Fuji cameras and the GIMP, there's a lot more detail in highlights and shadows than you'd think. So after applying auto white balance and doing the red-blue channel swap, in this version I brought the highlights down a stop or so.

It's split as it is as the result of a lightning strike late in the last millennium. The color appeals to me. Like an Orvis design.

This is a spooky place. It is at the former Athens Insane Asylum -- look it up -- now called The Ridges. The mood imparted by infrared matches the mood of the place.

Cloudy day infrared

It had just rained and was about to rain some more. That's the approaching storm in the distance. One of the fascinations with infrared (850nm, in this case) is that it is difficult to estimate when everything will just turn gray. Not here, and I have no idea why.

Infrared (850nm in this case) and white light see water differently. Trees too, of course.

Hills, woods, clouds, and a road to ?
