@eyeling I really love your near infrared photography! Someone has been boosting it for awhile and I always find it so mesmerizing!
Show threadEyelingDec 17
@leaf Thank you. It's not the most popular technique, but soooo much fun!

@eyeling I used to make frozen bubbles for my chickens to peck.
Show threadEyelingDec 13
@Shanmonster Did they like them? I don't imagine they taste good.
Show threadShantell PowellDec 13
@eyeling they just pecked them and then walked away.
Show threadEbauche (Dronal/Exan)Dec 9
@eyeling very interesting! How cold does it need to be for the bubbles to freeze instead of bursting?
Show threadEyelingDec 9
@ebauche At least -8°C and no wind whatsoever. They break down if you even look at them sternly.
Show threadEbauche (Dronal/Exan)Dec 10
@eyeling that sounds like quite the challenge 😁
Show threadJill ☁️Dec 10

@eyeling Beautiful texture, colours and light! ✨

Would love to boost, unfortunately it doesn't work.

Edit: just now it worked 😐

@jill Thank you! Strange that boosting doesn't work. It should.

@eyeling interesting results! is this digital or using the old kodak colour IR film stock?

appreciate you might not want to share details of your process, but it never hurts to ask and learn :)

Show threadEyelingDec 8
@jon_ellis I try to be as open as possible about my process. I suuuuuuuuck at any analogue technique due to impatience. So: fully digital, shot on a used Nikon D7100 converted to 550nm. Image channel-switched, obviously, but not a lot of additional editing.
Show threadjon ellisDec 8

@eyeling thanks!

when you say "converted" you mean sent away to someone to remove the IR filter and replace it with a 550nm pass filter in front of the sensor?

Show threadEyelingDec 8
@jon_ellis Indeed. Sven Lamprecht does a good job: https://irrecams.de/

@eyeling These infrared photos are stunning!!! Looks like something out of a storybook... (and I must say, what a relief it is to have someone on my timeline whose posts I can comfortably assure myself that your photos are *not* AI generated!)

@SkellySoft Thank you. Not the most popular technique in the mainstream, but so much fun to experiment with!
Our strictly enforced NO-AI rule is one of the reasons mastodon.art is such a relaxing place. Seeing all the slop clogging up other media and even getting promoted by good photographers is very disheartening.
