Today I just had to get out and do some real shooting. I’ve had a very traumatic four weeks or so. No personal drama but as School Council President at my daughter’s school I’ve been sadly in the middle of a huge drama unfolding there. My attempts to help the situation have worked but at great stress to me. So a trip to the country was sorely needed to recharge my batteries and reconnect with the Earth.
I had a number of cameras with me, two Olympus and a Sony, and you will see those images elsewhere. But I also had my converted for IR 350D, which I love. So here are some of the shots I took with that camera and a new processing process I will detail later. These images were taken around Hanging Rock, which features in some of them. Enjoy.

Last Saturday I ran an infrared photography workshop in the country at Trentham.
Before doing this I had been intending to add new, more detailed, infrared tutorials to DIMi. During the workshop I noted the questions the participants had and also those areas that needed more explanation. Since it was effectively a long, four day weekend here for Cup Day, I spent time on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday putting together two detailed tutorials: one on shooting IR with a normal digital camera and the other on the processing that is necessary and optional on such infrared images.
The result is up on the DIMi infrared photography beginners page.
I am hoping these provide a great starting point for those considering this area of photography that I love.
