Oh, the Go Karts on eh? I love it too because it clearly depicts the Woods Effect expected in infrared photos – the whitish appearance of foliage because of the way they reflect light in the infrared region.

You can start with photography at any time you want – it’s never too late. For starters, I would recommend getting a decent consumer-grade digital camera. It is able to churn out nice photos too, and if you’re interested in furthering your interest in photography, it serves as a good basis too.

Thank you, Trina! It’s getting increasingly common nowadays, but still not too wildly popular since not everyone knows how to appreciate the beauty behind infrared.

That’s another vote for the last photo! The halo is actually from the quickly setting sun behind the roller coaster tracks, and the rays bouncing off the top of the clouds (we’re technically above the clouds) and so we have a lovely halo right there.

Thanks for the compliments! Yea, you should try it out someday too, and share your works with us.

Again, some absolutely amazing photos! I have to say, the second one is my favourite.

I don’t know much about photography, but I’m really hoping to get into it. I need to earn/save the money for a camera first, though. :P

You never cease to amaze me! I absolutely love your infrared shots. I have not seen many before I found your blog. They are so much fun! And quite unique. I especially loved the last one — a beautiful photo, loving the blue sky! I really like the white halo around the roller coaster, really makes it pop.

Such a wonderful collection you have over @ your flickr account. It’s so much fun viewing them all. You’re quite talented! I have never tried infrared photography but I am so anxious to one day. :D

@Stanley: Thanks for the compliments! Looks like the last photo is a hot favourite eh? @Gzhang: Thank you! Actually, Canon 450D can be used for infrared photography - check this out. Most cameras do not allow infrared photography by default - you'll need to get a filter and a tripod.

Dang. Those shots are great!

Too bad Canon 450D does not enable infrared photography

@xun: Thank you! And to reciprocate – I love your designs. Really – especially the one featured in your portfolio section ;)

@Aki: Oh, it’s my personal favourite too! It was misty for almost all the photos and the last photo was when the sky cleared up for a few moments before another bout of mist came. Phew!

@NoktahHitam: Thank you! I will be more than happy to work as a part-time photographer, actually! I’m kind of regretful that I missed the photoshooting chance with you a few months ago.

@uner: Thanks, teehee! Actually you don’t have to buy extra equipments (but if you don’t have a tripod, you’ll need to get one). You have to make sure that your camera is sensitive to infrared light, and then you can proceed to purchase a infrared filter. For my infrared shots, I merely used my good old A200, the kit lens, an infrared filter, a tripod and a custom white balance setting. That’s all :)

@Grace: Thank you! I guess it won’t make a good holiday postcard photo because people will be confused, lol!

I love these! The last one is my favourite too. They look like they belong on those holiday cards! You can start your own company like this. :D
