Stefano Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Lake Maggiore (Lago Maggiore in Italian) is a pre-alpine lake in northern Italy. Although it translates into "Major Lake", it isn't the biggest lake in Italy, but the second behind Lake Garda. Yesterday I took some visible light photos (with my phone) and some IR ones with my modified camera. I didn't have the UV-pass filter with me, since I had to assemble it with tape and cardboard. Cameras:Visible: Samsung Galaxy A40's rear cameraInfrared: Full-spectrum Panasonic DMC-F3, Hoya R72 Visible. F-stop: f/1.7, ISO 40, 1/2899 s exposure. Infrared. F-stop: f/7.1, ISO 400, 1/800 s exposure. Visible. F-stop: f/1.7, ISO 40, 1/1678 s exposure. Infrared. F-stop: f/7.1, ISO 400, 1/160 s exposure. Visible. F-stop: f/1.7, ISO 40, 1/1190 s exposure. Infrared. F-stop: f/7.1, ISO 400, 1/500 s exposure. I love how infrared makes everything look very different than normal. Almost no haze, everything is clean, sharp and contrasted. All images are "as they came", or "SOOC", as someone would say. No post-processing. The infrared shots have been white-balanced in-camera with a white paper tissue. Link to comment
colinbm Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Nice work Stefano.Surprised the vegetation is so dark, especially in the first IR.Nice to see some Optimist class sailing dinghies in the background. Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I am wondering if the appearance of vegetation on those hills may be deceptive. It could be more barren and we are seeing the ground mainly, with a bit of scrub? Or perhaps it’s just the low angle the light is hitting at? Link to comment
Cadmium Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Stefano, Very nice. I especially like the last couple of IR shots. I tried to Google/street view it, but could not get the exact location. I kept looking for the fountain.Cannero Riviera, across the lake there I think.Such a beautiful area, towns, and buildings!https://www.google.com/maps/@46.0063881,8.7455234,3a,48.8y,297.85h,86.03t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1srYOPP_sQXT32orQJPB4stA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DrYOPP_sQXT32orQJPB4stA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D112.57071%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192 Link to comment

Trees have most of the leaves still on. Link to comment

Cadmium Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yep, thanks. I found the street view version, but it is behind the trees and the fountain/pool is empty.https://www.google.com/maps/@46.0002512,8.737656,3a,90y,318.12h,87.94t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sz30zgFIR7cNi3vNV40ol3w!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Link to comment
