Photography

Most of my photography is portraiture and a lot of that is music related. Since I was a teenager I've enjoyed making portraits of people. I like people. I also photograph animals, primatres mostly - monkeys and apes. I photograph other animals too. And I dabble in infrared and ultraviolet photography too.
I mostly shoot with my Canon EOS 50D and I generally use a 1960s Asahi wide angle lens or my old Meyer Optik Görlitz telephoto lens.
For the infrared photography I use a Nikon J1 that has been converted to infrared, and the ultraviolet photography I do with a cheap UVlook camera that attaches to my phone.
If you scroll down through these images you'll see examples of all these different types of photography that I do.

Infrared Photography

I enjoy taking photos in the near infrared spectrum. They use light between wavelengths of about 700 to 1100 nm. I have a Nikon that has been converted to infrared, 720nm, a little Canon that has been converted to what is called the "full spectrum" i.e. it sees visible light and infrared light and an AGM Glory mobile phone with a night vision mode which uses a full spectrum camera. I use an infrared pass filter in front of the lenses of the full spectrum cameras.
