My first color-processed infrared shot. I am beginning to get a hold on this stuff, after a few million attempts, or so :)

From an infrared converted camera. Calf and cow in the historical open air museum of Reykjavík, in late summer. Two animals, and two houses.

IR photography in Iceland has a few drawbacks: serious lack of trees (particularly with light-green leaves), scarcity of strong direct light (which is otherwise great light for normal photography), and shortage of no-cloud-at-all days. But "when there is a will, there is a way", as the proverb says.

InfraRed photography makes you a frustated beginner. You don't see the image until you actually have taken it. Our vision is no good for infrared composition. Our trained photographic eye turns out to be our enemy. Exposure rules don't work. Post-production is madness. Night photography is a no-go. And all colors are different tonalities of red (to our eyes).

You know what...? IR photography is just like a foreign language, with weird complicated grammar. It neither has the same morphology nor the same syntax as normal photography. And it really makes one a speechless babe again.

For a fact, infrared photography is making me crazy - not that I was very sane before though... :) On the side, it doesn't cease to amaze me the unbelievable control of contrast that it has. If you shoot a silhouette, it will get all the shadows and highlights inside the histogram, or just almost. Quite remarkable.

Still in Hallormsstaðaskógur, in the east of Iceland. To my surprise, there were signs of human inhabitation. The door was unlocked, so one can go inside the hut and see what is inside.
