A couple picnicking on some grass. A lake behind them with people paddleboarding. Docks on the other side of the lake with boats, and a hill with apartments and houses and trees rising from the docks.

Aerochrome false color: grass, shrubs, trees are all stark candy red. The blue of the water and sky is preserved.

Four older masc-looking people in a drum circle, with one more playing didgeridoo. In front of them is a raised stand of three trees, and behind them is a grove of more trees.

Aerochrome false color: the foliage and everyone's clothes are stark candy red. The sky is blown-out white.

Four people in a fast rowboat on the water. More paddleboarders and a couple boats further behind them on the water. The same hill from the first photo in the background, and a grassy shore in the foreground.

A couple picnicking on some grass. A few other groups of people on the grass further behind them. A large tree at the edge of the shore. A lake leading to a hill covered in trees, houses, and apartments. The Space Needle and a radio tower against the skyline.

720 nanometer infrared false color: the photo is nearly black & white. The grass, shrubs, and leaves are all mostly white. The water and sky preserve a bit of blue.

A motor boat on the lake, moving towards the camera, leaving a small wake. More boats at the docks along the far shoreline. A hill with trees and apartments, and a highway bridge. Cloudy sky.

Looking up from ground level at a woman standing in the grass, looking down at the camera. She is holding a bag in her hand and has a camera at her hip, slung by a strap over her shoulder. She is wearing a tank top, calf-length pants, and sandals. She is flanked by tree cover in all directions.

720 nanometer infrared false color: the photo is nearly black & white. The foliage is all stark white and almost glowing. The woman's clothing is a strange slightly reddish color, and her skin tones are washed out and a bit eerie.

Old concrete train trestles stand in a line in a field. Three femme-looking people are walking together under one of the trestles. Some old, tall, industrial-looking silos with railings and equipment on them. A hill in the background with trees and houses. Some wispy clouds. A waning crescent moon.

720 nanometer infrared false color: the photo is nearly black & white. The grass and trees are mostly white. The trestles and silos look mostly gray / black. The sky is a washed-out, but fairly normal-looking blue.

The same woman from earlier stands below the train trestles. She has the same outfit and the same bag and camera. The train trestles are lined up front to back, and she is standing in the grass, underneath the third one from the camera. Her head is framed by the receding trestles.

Two small motor boats heading towards each other from the left and right on the lake. A hill behind the lake with trees and apartment buildings. Three radio towers in a line at the top of the hill. A long, narrow cloud, and the waning crescent moon.

720 nanometer infrared false color: the trees are mostly gray-yellow. The water and sky have most of their blue preserved. The cloud and moon are white.

Two people in a fast rowboat on the water. On the opposite shore are many motorboats at the docks. Apartment buildings and trees behind the docks. The Space Needle rising high over the surroundings.

Aerochrome false color: the trees and the clothing of the rowers are a stark candy red. The water and sky retain their blue. The scene is fairly dark, a bit after sunset, and the sky shifts to candy pink near the horizon.

just got my camera back from full-spectrum conversion, and took it for a spin with aerochrome and 720nm filters
