Flickr Sets

A collection of my photos on Flickr - to which I've uploaded far too many pictures. Enjoy!

Invisible Fireworks

Invisible Fireworks

In the spirit of scientific inquiry, I pointed the infrared camera at a fireworks display. Photos are decidedly wibbly - the visible-light 7D was occupying the tripod, and metering was even more hit-and-miss than usual...

Panoramas

While messing around with building some volcanic panoramas in Hugin, I fed in some much older photos and got some interesting results. (Automatic exposure and white balance matching is brilliant, and makes up for times I've forgotten to lock those particular settings in the past.)

Any new panoramas will get placed here. I tend not to make many these days, since I got a 10-20mm superwide lens. Back with my first digital camera's lens, proper wide-angle shots weren't possible, very annoyingly...

Invisible Hawaii

A giant compendium of the uploaded infrared photos I took in Hawaii. And on Mars.

(Hawaii as a beautiful, tropical holiday resort? Not likely. It's darkly, gloriously hideous if looked at in just the right way...)

Finally got round to sorting through and uploading these. Excuse the excessive number, lack of proper selectivity etc...

More explorations, involving rainforests and the leaving of muddy footprints through a smart hotel lobby (not pictured).

In which I turn a beautiful tropical paradise into something else entirely. Part one of numerous.

Invisible Spectrum I

Invisible Spectrum I

Last updated: Saturday March 20 2010

Performed major surgery on my old 350D, in order to see the unseeable. Near-infrared is much-neglected for purposes beyond garish landscape imagery anyhow, and the introduction of energy-saving lighting means that indoors photography is increasingly difficult to meter. So, I must measure this strange background radiation, while we still have time...

(Actually, I went into Seattle in the afternoon on what started off a gloriously sunny day, only for everything to cloud over. Walking back to the bus, I decided the over-photographed Pike Place Market was an interesting target for experimentation. Plus, it was closing down for the evening. Bonus!)

Aerial Night

Aerial Night

Last updated: Sunday January 31 2010

In which I take photos of desolate, snow-covered and unidentified bits of the middle of the USA from an aeroplane, without the benefit of such nonsenses as 'sunlight', 'moonlight' or even much artificial light.

(ISO 6400, f1.8, 1/4s FTW!)

I've also realised these look pretty terrible against a white background. Oh, Flickr...

Museums are perfect places for available-light photography. Plus, robots!

(I'm convinced that MIT's mechanical designs will result in a wonderful downfall of humanity. Welcome our new robot overlords!)

Some of my favourite photos from 2009, one per month.

Surprisingly annoying to choose 'em...
