Infra Red Cameras
I use cameras converted for infra red.
Represented in the Galleries are:
Canon 20D - my first IR camera . Unfortunately
damaged beyond economic repair.
Canon D60 - a gift from a friend. An early DSLR
which despite low pixel count takes extremely
sharp images.
Lumix LX 5 - a handy little compact camera with
a Leica lens. Slips in a pocket and takes great
images.
Olympus OMD EM5 Mk II - my latest IR Camera
and easily the best!
Equipment for Landscape
Older Images taken on Canon DSLRs with 17-40
lens.
In 2016 I changed to Olympus cameras using 2
OMD EM5 Mk II bodies with 9-18 and 14-150 lens.
In 2019 I upgraded to OMD M1 MkII and M1 MkIII
bodies and added a 40-150 Pro lens.
Landscape shots are usually taken on a tripod
either Manfrotto or Mefoto.
I use screw in ND filters for long exposures.
For landscape I shoot at low ISO and with small
apertures for best quality and maximum depth of
field
Equipment for Nature and Sport
Various Canon DSLRs using a Canon 100-400 L Lens
In 2019 I changed to Olympus OMD MKII and MKIII
with a 40-15o Pro lens and X2 Converter. However
there been no opportunities for sport in 2020 and
few for nature shots.
Shots are usually hand held, wide open (or f8 if
light permits) at fast shutter speeds.
Equipment for Other Images
Images in Japan were taken on 2 OMD EM5 Mk II
bodies with 9-18, 14-150 land 75-300 lenses. The
EM5 bodies are slow to focus so nature work needs
extra care. However cameras, lenses and batteries
performed with any problems in temperatures
down to -20C.
Other images were taken with the Canon and
Olympus described. The Olympus M1s are
excellent for nature and sport with high frame rate
and fast focusing.
I occasionally use a Sony HX90V compact when I
want to travel light.
