Oh... what loveliness a Lensbaby doth
on InfraRed photographs!

Like many of the experienced shooters before me, I have also recently been drawn to the (almost tilt-shift) effects of the Lensbaby.
It is, in its very nature and very much like IR, an alternative photography. And when used together with IR photos, I felt that it brings out (again the use of the cliche word) the surreality of the scene.

Seeing the Everest Panorama Trek through the InfraRed lens.

Everest Panorama Trek, Nepal.
With SgTrekker 17-26 Mar 2011

Both SereneXMM and I joined this most unforgettable trek on Everest Country, Nepal. We had a great team of buddies and wonderful companions for this tough climb. Due to weight issue, we didn't bring our full load of equipment. Thus I only had my 535nm modified Canon 20D as my IR camera.
But I told myself, whatever it was, I was going to bring back some IR photos of the Everest Country and Mount Everest.

Some Strange Old Dilapidated House... somewhere near Singapore...

The Grand Old House that could not be named*.

An InfraRed Bali Affair


through the IR lenses of Limwhow & SereneXMM

It has been an exhilarating period for both myself and SereneXMM.
Because we have had the great opportunity to meet up with lots of passionate shooters.
And also we have had the honour of travelling with these wonderful people.

We haven't too many IR shots of Bali.
Well, at least not as many as we'd love to have because it rained quite a bit while we were there.

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.

I see, wah lau, many of my friends all shooting IR portraitures like nobody's business.  And I also wonder if I could give it a try.

Recently my brain seems to be fried until chao-dar or something...
Been trying to suppress an urge to sprinkle colours all over my IR photos.
I remember with a chuckle, what LowLights said about my IR colours still 'not yet as crazy as our Indonesian friend Rudy Tuahunse's multicoloured IRs' and I told myself what the heck...
So finally I let go of the inhibition a little. Must be all the chok-chok-ing from our Ah ChuA...
Nothing special here. Just some colouring done on a palette like a 5 year old child.
