Fishing and a bit of IR fun.

Objects in the mirror....

one of my favorite Meatloaf songs was titled this...

When I go tripping by car either as a passenger or doing errands, I take my Infrared camera along.

Sure I might miss some cool stuff that could be taken in regular light. But I prefer a world that is wildly different.

AND..

yes, I pull over to take shots. 

Same road, different day, different view with a different light spectrum filter.
 

The neighbor's shed that live 1 mile away.

Finally, looking across the ridge to a beef farm.

The best days for infrared are those days with bright sunshine and clouds in the sky. A bonus are those days when I can find water included.

So fishing days are the best days for Infrared.

However....

During my rush to fix up a take a long bag, I accidently swiped my old IR camera off the bed and it crashed to the floor.

The camera survived. The little lens I'd purchased years ago, sadly, did not.

My IR filters are all for that lens which have 37mm threads. It is a general walk about lens that is not pricey and is super light. It shoots from 14mm-45mm. Perfect for most of my IR photography. 

I swapped out a 14-100mm lens with a 58mm threads and found some old colored filters and made the best of it.
Actually it was sort of fun.

Charlie went along and provided us with quite a bit of entertainment. He got to see his first fish and was super curious.

Steve and Charlie are infatuated with each other. Here Steve explains to Charlie all about worms.

Worms don't taste good.

But wiggly fish is another story!

Charlie had to inspect each fish caught thereafter. 

It was a great fishing day and we cleaned 8 nice little fish for our supper on Thursday night!

Thankfully, I looked on line and found a used replacement lens at a good price.
