First post-op images

November 15, 2015 JimK 4 Comments

Since my brain surgery, the only photographs I’ve made have been from my studio window. I have made some, though, and the storm we had last week provided me some nice cloud shadows.

_DSC1471-Edit

_DSC0261-Edit

_DSC0093-Edit

_DSC1288 (2)-Edit

_DSC0329-Edit

All of these are several IR-modded Sony a7II  exposures blended together in Ps. Lens was the Otus 85/1.4.

    Jim, good to see you back on the saddle, What head/bracket do you use for your panos?

      Jack, I used the Arca-Swiss D4. But these aren’t panos. All exposures were with the camera aimed the same. I just picked parts of each exposure for the final image.

    I love photographing clouds because they are infinitely variable and often fascinating.

    These are some lovely photographs Jim. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Jim,
    I hope, your health is getting better!!

    I have a question regarding your IR A7II. I owned a IR converted NEX-7 and like the B&W IR images very much. After I got the A7RII I sold the NEX-7 and I plan to get my A7R converted to IR (again 720nm).

    The images from the NEX-7 are all very soft in the edges and corners, even with the Batis 25/2.

    My question:
    do these soft edges come from the lack of correction for these longer wavelengths?
    do I have to expect the same with the converted A7R (mainly with the Batis 25mm and Sony Zeiss 16-35mm)?

    Thanks for any opinion!
    And many more thanks for you most informative blog!!!

    regards
    dierk
