The long bright sunny days are great for the outdoors and swimming (provided you remember your sun protection) \u00a0but not great for photography so I often take my infrared converted D70s when out in the brighter times of the day as it is a good opportunity for infrared photography.<\/p>\n<p>I converted this camera some years ago with a filter I imported from <a title=\"Lifepixel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lifepixel.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lifepixel<\/a>. It took a bit of courage to pull the camera apart and replace the low pass filter but once started it was a pretty straight forward job. The low pass filter\u00a0filters out IR light and allows visible light through to\u00a0the CCD sensor. The replacement \u00a0opaque filter blocks visible light while allowing longer IR wavelengths through to the sensor. After setting a custom white balance you can shoot raw files pretty much as normal capturing lovely dark skies with bright clouds and white foliage. These files can then be processed as Black and White images which works well but some I find look good as false colour infrared images. This is achieved by inverting the red and blue channels in Photoshop and brings back a blue sky to the image. Tutorials on the Lifepixel site cover this in more detail if you are interested in the technique.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2015\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2015\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Pohutukawas-DSC_0414-IR-6x4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2015\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Pohutukawas-DSC_0414-IR-6x4.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"False colour infrared image of Pohutukawas, Mount Maunganui.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Pohutukawas-DSC_0414-IR-6x4.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Pohutukawas-DSC_0414-IR-6x4.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2015\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">False colour infrared image of Pohutukawas, Mount Maunganui.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2014\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2014\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MountMaunganui-DSC_0369-IR-6x4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2014\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MountMaunganui-DSC_0369-IR-6x4.jpg?resize=800%2C521&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Beach scene, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand\" width=\"800\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MountMaunganui-DSC_0369-IR-6x4.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MountMaunganui-DSC_0369-IR-6x4.jpg?resize=300%2C195&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2014\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beach scene, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2013\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2013\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/LeisureIsland-DSC_0388-IR-6x4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2013\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/LeisureIsland-DSC_0388-IR-6x4.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dappled light and bush, Leisure island, Mount Maunaganui\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/LeisureIsland-DSC_0388-IR-6x4.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/LeisureIsland-DSC_0388-IR-6x4.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2013\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dappled light and bush with sea behind, Leisure island, Mount Maunaganui<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have had a great summer and spent some time at the beach as usual.
