Jim,
I focus on this picture because it has the extra uniqueness of implying a white rose imprisoned by thorns.
In a way, to me this is a female version of a Christ with thorns imaginary paradigm. It’s a kind of container for goodness under threat and imprisoned.
A picture that gathers the thoughts of the observer in any manner like this is far more worthy of saving that a simple record of what is by the wayside.
This imaginary photograph evokes our own creative musing and sparks ideas from what we bring to it!
Fabulous work.
How large can it be printed and what size is most powerful?
Thanks for sharing!

Jim,
How does the beautiful ghostly pink arise? Is this from near infra red?
What’s the filter set you use so it ends up this way? Is the A7R, itself, modified?

if I just use the window light, they're green-blue.. if I turn on the kitchen overhead lights (halogen), they get reddish highlights

Thanks!
And did you remove the IR filter from the A7R?
...and what filter on the lens?

I had the camera modified. They take the AA and IR block filter from the camera, and put in a filter for IR. You can get varying frequencies installed.
And no filter on the lens.

What frequency range did you specify? What do you like the most about your setup and what have you learned about this mode of viewing things?

These certainly look nice. Presumably, the ancient optics are not corrected for IR so the IR part bleeds a bit, which adds a kind of dreamy feel to the images. The subjects are aptly chosen as well. Well done!
Right, not IR corrected. Also I use old portrait lenses, Wollensak velostigmst series II, Cooke portrait, Veritos, Heliar, and some old no-name meniscus lenses I obtained from our local drug.....err lens supplier. Mr Galli.
I got the enhanced color Ir. 675nm). I like mounting it on my 4x5. I have old vintage lenses that render differently than any fixed lens made for 35mm or medium format.

Jim,
Such a treat! What a clever use of vintage lenses. I should try this before I sell off my lenses to pay for my addiction to working in steel!
I can’t say enough how happy this careful artistry in photography makes me! The crafted pleasure you deliver is unique, worthy of collection and generously shared!
Mistresses would be an alternative, but unfortunately require so much effort and secrecy.
Here I can enjoy “fantaasms”, openly and guiltless!
