Some Overdue IR Fun with the X100.
It’s been a good long while since I took my IR converted X100 out for a spin – preferring usually, the utter versatility of my wonderful GXR A16 full-spectrum conversions instead. However, every now and then, when the conditions are just right, it’s wonderful to travel a little lighter still and restrict myself to just one focal-length; it avoids all the choice and confusion over which FL I’m going to shoot with and allows me to just – make pictures. Compose, frame – capture. If there is one thing I love about the X100 series, it is simply that. It just doesn’t get in the way. At all. So, after a jaunt to the Mull of Galloway and then up through Port Logan, travelling as (camera) light as I believe it is possible to do so, here are a couple of rather pleasing frames that, I do hope that you’ll enjoy too.
Port Logan Lighthouse | X100 [720nm Internal Conversion] | 35mm – 1/220th – f8 – ISO:200
Mull of Galloway Lighthouse [as a Smoking Chimney, Perhaps?] | X100 [720nm Internal Conversion] | 35mm – 1/420th – f8 – ISO:400
Well done, Rob! Re-shared on FB and Twitter! Have a wonderful weekend! 🍻

I like the landscape and love the larger shot of the lighthouse. Great perspective and excellent white. I especially enjoy the texture gradient as the side light shades around the curved structure.

Hey, Steve! Always great to read your thoughtful comments. I really am glad that you enjoyed this one. It’s so imposing when close up and a complete joy to shoot when the light is good. When it’s not, it’s a looooong way to go for a naff capture! I got very lucky on this particular day, for sure! Good to read you again and I hope you’re keeping well!! Very best, Rob 🙏📷

Fantastic shots Rob particularly the 2nd one with only one element to concentrate on – the Light House.
Superb textures in the white areas, not so easy to capture! Great composition too! Thanks for sharing.
Best regards
Amar

Amar, thank you so much! The first shot is actually a bell-tower lighthouse and close-up, though interesting in its form, doesn’t play with the light as much. The Mull however, is a beautifully kept lighthouse and always a joy to shoot! I’m really glad you like them. Shot on rival cameras (🤣) I know. On that topic, I’ve been out experimenting with the new LTFS A16 and over the next week or two, I think you’ll be pleased at results from it! Very best to you and Shirley from Bumble and me! 🙏📷
