Near-IR photography for #ShittyCameraChallenge

Vaporwave-y purple shot of SF's Conservatory of Flowers, with some palm trees just catching the last rays of the sunset.

This is a test post to help build out my Ghost site and publishing process. There's now a project page on my Notion (WIP)!

For my first time doing the #ShittyCameraChallenge, I broke out a 14-year-old project: a digital camera I'd modified to shoot in near-infrared.

If you'd like to follow updates on the project, here are my threads on Bluesky and Mastodon (Ghost can embed them, but the Mastodon one went all weird and vertical?):

OK so, I kinda insulted my ancient IR-modded digicam by posting a couple of awful shots... but it's actually capable of some pretty cool stuff ^_^ Was thinking to save the best for #ShittyCameraChallenge, but there might be a theme and I didn't wanna wait! Been running around the Bay shooting neon.
