I found my old Infra-red filter in the camera bag, during my visit to the Edogawa Japanese Gardens in Gosford. I don’t think I will ever master this filter system..
Exif: F Number: 4.1, Exposure Bias Value: 2.00, ExposureTime: 1/15 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 23.00 mm, Model: E-300

Very nice, John! I am not an avid fan of the infra-red, as it usually, to me, seems over the top. But you did an outstanding job on this one! <>< #1668728Tammy M. Anderson September 14, 2016

Perfect scene for IR, John! Beautifully captured! I've never used an IR filter, but have one old camera converted to IR -- it's great fun, isn't it? #11517191Chuck Green September 15, 2016
