N A U G H T Y . . W I T H . . T R I T O N E ~  A way of IR

As I continued to explore IR photography, the initial internal struggle within me began to subside.
The conflict that arises from the struggle between being a purist IR shooter and being a naughty colour manipulator.
I think I probably belong to the latter.

Here are some little bits and pieces of my Revisits for all to have a good laugh.



Sometimes in life, one would go back and relook and revisit certain landmarks that are of significance in one's life.
Here I am doing just that.
Went back and open up my old Fort Canning IR photos and re-visited them.

This time round, building in TriTone.
Grass Tri-coloured in three layers with gradation of the green from bottom to top.

Sorry, was very new then. Blown my grass. A good negative demonstration.


Similar TriTone (Black, Pantone Brown and Pantone Beige) Pavilion and Foliage.
Gradation of green on grass.



I must admit.
Being very new then, I over-blown my grass (again).
Apologies.



This one I was merely being naughty with the tri-colours on the plaque.


I couldn't help but being mischievous once again.
Again, just for laughs.


And my good friend Alex Kaan commented on my this post:

"Gotta give it you, man. The photos were taken during our first IR outing many moons back and the weather was not so co-operative. But, your "new" photos are great. "

 Thank you so much for the encouragement, Alex!
