infrared red tail

[john crookes]

This was taken last spring in Mount Auburn cemetary with a converted d70 nikon camera.

I am contemplating having my d2x converted since the trade in value has declined so much

Nikon d70 converted to infered
400mm 2.8
1.7 ext
f7.1
1/160th
ISO 200

converted to b/w in lightroom and cs3

John:

A lovely image. I really enjoy IR images, and it really makes the eye in this one riveting. Who did your D70 conversion?

Very nice and great head angle. Would love to see the mid tones a bit blacker.

later and love, artie

ps: You could have titled it "Infrared-tailed Hawk."

Real nice pose. I might be tempted to bring up the blacks a touch.

Funny you mention converting your D2X, I'm thinking about the same thing since I can't seem to sell mine either.

lifepixels did my d70

and at the time i picked up the body at my dealer for a coupe of hundred plust the 250 for the conversion so it was not a bad deal

[john crookes]

repost with darker midtones as suggested

Thanks for the input

[Jim Poor]

[Arthur Morris]

Much better #2.

later and lvoe, artie

Great idea, love post number 2. Good to see this as I am looking at doing an IR conversion for landscapes.
