Though I received my new Canon cameras (a Canon 5Ds
and a Canon 5DsR) almost a month ago, it was only today that I finally
managed to get out and work with the infrared converted EOS 5Ds with a
model.
Ingrid was kind
enough to come out to the coast this morning, and spend an hour working
with me and the camera; because of my schedule, we ended up working in
some of the worst light of the day, with hard, unrelenting sunlight
falling almost directly down upon Ingird.
Fortunately,
we managed to find a number of spaces the had enough curve and drop to
them that there began to be some form to the figure from the falling off
of the sunlight.

Long
ago I discovered how rich seaweed could be in infrared, and one of my
favorite images from this session was made in a small patch of seaweed
near to breaking surf; a narrow ledge on the opposite side was enough to
give Ingrid a space to pose in, and after paying some attention to the
direction of the light, we together came up with a pose that brought the
image together.

One
of the final photographs of the short session was also one of my
favourites; made from almost directly above Ingrid, I really like the
surreal quality of the light, pose and setting.
All
in all, it was a good full test of the new camera, and setting aside
small differences of button layout, and the obvious advantages of 2.5x
more resolution, it was just another photo session - which is idea,
because while the camera brings so much more to the process, in terms of
the quality of the results, it didn't seem to really make much of a
change to the process as a whole.
