Description Taken with the New Petzval lens and my 720nm Nikon D90 at F2.2. All adjustments have to be done manually and even the focus only works in the lifeview mode!

You have a great eye for black and white photography, and a great technique too. I love that you kept the middle of the flower blue, it ads an inexplicable pleasant feeling to the image. Also the focus experiment looks like a big success to me, I love that the top part of the image is in contrast with the bottom part from both color and focus difference, attracting the eye even more the the center of the flower.
You have some great pieces in your gallery, keep up the good work.

Cheers,
AnukΒ

Thank You so much for Your constructive and kind comment, Anna
ItΒ΄s one of the few photos comming out well. This lens in combination with my infrared camera is always a challenge

Very interesting photograph, especially because poppies are usually red. I like that the one poppy that is ''open'' is a little out of the centre. It catches the attention immediately! I really like that you chose for a black/white/blue-ish colour, it makes the photograph stand out! Great job!

ItΒ΄s taken with an infrared camera - all chlorophyll (even red) turns out white!
Have a nice sunday Thank You very much

I already thought it was an infrared camera! Did you build it yourself?

No - I bought a brand new Nikon D90 body and sent it to www.optic-makario.de/
He did a great job and I love by camera

I really like this in infrared, it looks awesome. I like that one flower stands out, but the other blurred flowers in the front on the right hand side of the frame are a little distracting. Infrared is always a winner, though, and entire world we have yet to see.Β

Thanks kindly for Your constructive comment! Using this manual lens and the aperture (a simple metal plate with a more or less big hole) I chose You canΒ΄t avoid blurry regions. From 10 taken photos I take with the infrared camera maybe one comes out as desired No autofucus, no focus on the viewfinder. I had to use the lifeview function.
I wish You a nice weekend

Using it on my D300 (standard colors) is complicated but on the infrared D90 I have to use the life-view function! Have You ever tried it when the sun is shing...

Using other lenses than my 18-70/24-200mm I have to! I bought a special display monitor darkening and enlarging the whole shitty display www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00EX…
