2015 - Image of the Week #35

I wonder if a 5D III would be much better than a 5D II after converted?
After looking at your picture I went online and watched a few tutorials on converting a 5D II. One site had a price around $250 to do it.

It shoots and functions like a normal camera, metering, focusing are normal but white balance is tricky.

I suspect the difference would be the same as the difference between the two cameras without IR conversion.

After a torrential rain storm, the local pond was a little full. That thing sticking out of the water is the last 2 ft of the dock. 30 second exposure.

What a great variety to choose from this week! Time lapse, portrait, macro, and so many of them contenders for the week. In the end the one that I kept coming back to was 'Not the Sun' by Kombi. Congrats Dave! The magical qualities of Blue Hour won me over.

Thank you! I am glad others enjoyed it.
It was a fun evening with two friends. The shot was actually significantly past the blue hour. It was taken at 11:50pm, and sunset was 3hrs prior.
I used tungsten white balance, 25s exposure at 1000 ISO, with aid of the nearly full moon.
Much of the shoot we were stumbling around in the dark, as none of us were bright enough to bring a flashlight.
Next night shoot-- scouting during daylight, cable release and flashlight.
