Fuente Osmeña revisited with IR72



Fuente Osmeña revisited with IR72
As soon as I received the Haida IR72, I scheduled a visit to Fuente Osmeña the following day. The Haida IR72 filter is so much better than the Haida IR85. It allowed me to take photos at 10 to 30 seconds exposure compared to the 5 -6 minutes with the IR85. With the shorter exposure time and lower ISO (100 to 200), I was able to get cleaner and sharper images. Another benefit with the IR72 is the available “false colors” you get during post process.

The Nature of Creativity

Everything is a Remix Part 3 from Kirby Ferguson on Vimeo.

Very interesting. Just goes to show that you needn’t be pressured to not doing something because it might have been done before. No one is original. No one is an isolated genius. We all stand on the shoulders of giants.

Fuente Osmeña under a different light spectrum

Fuente Osmeña under a different light spectrum.
For the past few days I have been experimenting with the Haida IR85 (IR850) filter. It’s just too dark for my camera. At ISO100 I need to reach 5 to 6 minutes exposure time just to get a decent exposure. Even though the photo was taken at ISO100 under noon time sun, the long exposure of 5 to 6 minutes introduced another problem – hot pixels. I’d rather have digital noise caused by high iso settings than hot pixels. Why? Because digital noise can be controlled using a noise reduction program like Noise Ninja. While the hot pixels are too big that noise reduction programs can’t get rid of them.
