If you are not willing to see more than is visible, you won't see anything.
- Ruth Bernhard

Following on this thread, I've created a smugmug gallery to host photos that I took today to compare visible light conversions to true IR photos. And then I though, 'why not use it for a long-neglected assignment thread?'

The photos were taken inside a mall, which is about the only convenient place in Toronto to see foliage for the next few months. No tripods were used, and I had to work fairly quickly, so the compositions aren't exact matches. Anyone who's interested is welcome to play around with them, and either post your results here (no more than 800px wide, please!) or you can e-mail them back to me and I'll add them back to the gallery. (My gmail address is 'matthewpiers'.) Naturally, please include a few notes on what you've done, and if you have any other samples/examples, we'd love to see them too.

The Fine Print: The VL camera is a Canon SX20 IS, which some dolt had left on iso800, and the IR camera is a Panasonic FZ18 that has been modified to shoot in IR & has a B+W 093 (87C) filter on it. The Canon photos were shot as jpgs, and have had Auto Tone run on them in Lightroom; the Panasonic captures in Raw, and has had Auto Tone and Auto Greyscale applied to its photos. They've been sent to the smugmug gallery as sRGB and 100% quality without being resized, so feel free to download the full files (3.7 to 6MB each) or the smaller views that the gallery can automatically generate.

I do not see anything when I follow your link. Does it mean I am "not willing to see more than is visible"?

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work, but occasionally smugmug does have bad moods. Here's the bare link, perhaps it will treat you better:

still the same - email?

[matthew]

Pavel, I'll e-mail you some slightly reduced images tonight - I tried to send some of the full-sized ones, and my mail server didn't think that was very funny.
(I'll happily send them to anyone else who wants them, too, naturally.)

Here are some web-sized versions:

Matthew, I did get your IR photos by E-mail and i did not forget. I have been Ill for the last few days and starting tomorrow I am going on a vacation until February 1. I am not quite well, but I am going - a bit of a "calculated?" risk. So please do ot see it as a lack of interest, if I do not respond promptly. Pavel

[matthew]

No worries. Tomorrow I may be going down to the beaches, so if weather's permitting I may get some sky/water shots. If I do, then I'll add them to the gallery, the thread, and send you an e-mail.

Have a great vacation!
