Bushfire Creates Great Atmosphere for Infrared Photography
Posted by admin under Infrared , Photography[2] Comments
During the second week of January I was up country past Trentham in central Victoria (Australia) meeting with a friend to plan some upcoming photography workshops. After the meeting I wandered off in the car through the surrounding area shooting.
On part of this journey I drove into an area where there was a lot of smoke from some nearby bushfires. This smoke was creating interesting sky effects and so I started shooting as I travelled through the area, all the time making sure that I was well away from the fires and that none were getting closer (safety comes first).
The images below were shot with my Canon 350D that was converted for IR by maxmax.com.

The smoke was thin here but producing interesting cloud effects in this photograph
