The Canon RF 100-500mm @ 254mm (on a Canon R5)

On account of the slick mud on the logging road I took to get down there, this is as close as I could get in my Jeep

Cold Caldera; totally not a long-dead volcano in the Akolkolex range south of Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

When I lived in Revelstoke, we shovelled roofs. Because if you didn't, this would happen:

(that was a new F150 under there... the taillight survived, but that's about it)

Nice! That’s like the cover of a dark fantasy novel…

That’s more snow than we got all year right there.

As long as you get the treatment, I guess it doesn’t matter how many hands the bill jumps through like a hot potato, eh?

I recall this poster of a road painting crew who’d painted a double-yellow line down the middle of a road and also right over the bulging carcass of a dead armadillo… the poster was given out for the annual β€œNot My Job Award” down at the city works…

Thank you - I relayed that to ArtGeek πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»

I got the 50% off a Kolari thread, and thought maybe it was legit….

I believe I overcomplicated it, giving him answers from my opaque 830 view instead of his 720. My bad - will keep to my 830nm lane unless I decide to give 720 a try…

Thanks again! 😎

I asked Sheri:

"I believe it’s about 3%…of course 830 is opaque. Just a guess…but I these days everyone is an expert! 🀣 I’ve also read 50%, but disagree. I began with film, took ten years for me to figure out processing, no one was doing digital ir 20 years ago. A long frustrating journey that was”

You’re very welcome.

I’ve had a little back and forth with ArtGeek (Ken Tryon) regarding 720nm infrared (which differs significantly from my 830nm background), and I’m wondering if you know the answer to:

How much visible light does a 720nm filter allow to pass through? I got 3 different answers.

Actually, for 720, I’m gonna have to ask Sheri Mabe. I think 720 is her wavelength.

Sorry man, I’m not trying to mess with you - I’ve now found 3 different sources and got 3 different answers on how much visible light it lets through.

Must be some, because the blue there is way below 720nm…

04.03.2026 04:19 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I got reading up on 720 and that conversion allows some visible light through up to 720 (up to 50%) then 100% over 720.

Weird about only colour RAW + jpeg… but yes, I have an R5, and you can shoot in RAW + jpegs in with B&W image preview (the jpeg comes out B&W, and the RAW still comes out colour)

Am I hearing that you work at a hospital, and the insurance they offer does not cover the cost of treatment for infections acquired at the hospital? And the hospital itself therefore pays for treatment? Am I reading that correctly?
