Infrared photos from the Untreusee
As I had not made much infrared photos of the Untreusee in Hof, I found no peace and needed to change this quickly. And sometimes all comes together, because as soon as I had made up my mind, the most beautiful clouds were on the sky and I did not hesititate and went for a trip to the Untreusee. Probably most of you don’t know the lake, so let me tell you, it is a small artificial lake south of Hof, which is used as recreation area and the people like it very much. There is not only beautiful countryside, but also a climbing park in the forest, a beergarden, beachvolleyball fields, barbecue sites and a really huge playground for kids.
But I don’t want to to talk much longer, but let you enjoy the new infrared photos. Maybe as a last word, I was very pleased with my results of the short trip and hope you agree!
If you should want to see even more Infrared photographs, then I would recommend to you my own Infrared page . Otherwise I would be happy about your comments, no matter if you have some advices or feedback, be it positive or negative!

Beautiful pictures!
Did you use a standard DSLR camera for your infrared images? Or did you modify the camera, by e.g. replacing the IR blocking filter in the camera by another filter which lets more red and IR through?
I have a Canon EOS 550D camera myself which I’ve had modified in that way. It was for astrophotographical purposes, and indeed the red nebulae in the sky get much brighter in the images now.

As you already assumed in my 550D the IR blocking filter was replaced by a filter which lets pass wavelength above 665nm. The effect you mention about the nebulae sounds interesting, do you have any link to have a look at it?
