This is the photo that got me interested in infrared again. I happened to have the modified camera, a set of new lenses for my primary camera, and an adapter. I was early for a kayak appointment, and was just sort of futzing around. That’s when I saw this bird fly really close to me. Kicking myself for not holding my primary camera at the time, I took a shot anyway … and got this.

Infrared seems to be more susceptible to lens flare, but even with that, I think this shot is rather striking, so I started exploring other ways to see the world through infrared.
