I feel like this abandoned amusement park is pretty well known in the community, I've def seen it pop up on IG a bit. The locals also seem to be aware of people coming here, and have made it harder to access in recent months. It was very difficult to get into and took me a few attempts. What else is there to say? A pretty amazing place... Be prepared to hike if you're considering it.
I shot these with an infrared modified D800, I hope you enjoy the photos.

These are beautiful!

Wow. These are really great.

Excellent shots!

Well done
These are pretty cool.
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

I’ve been in the area a couple times in the past few years and have never had the time to explore. Beautiful place and really good set.

Great title. Really hope this continues to be accessible.

Geez, these are awesome! I've had my eye on this place...heard there's threats of some high-tech security (which might be empty threats).
Looks like you made it worth your efforts; great job, and thanks for sharing! 😊

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I've got a few more to share from this place, will post soon.

I spotted some stuff that would suggest recent activity there. I was under the impression that ownership was in flux, but you never know. I think they're mostly just sick of vandals/thieves.

Is there a way to see the photos without the infrared?

Nah, once they're shot this way there's no going back.
However, although the photos do have a warmer grade applied to them, the only major difference between this spectrum of IR photography and normal photography is the foliage and plant life. Plants reflect IR light differently, so with this spectrum in particular, plants, bushes, and trees all look red regardless of how they appear to our eyes.
I typically carry a bunch of filters with me that allow me to photograph normally, but I've made it a point to stick with IR the past year or so.

Awesome set! The infrared makes for a nice look there and I like the foliage in the second shot against the church.
Still working on it...

The infrared works great here. Cool shots.

I had an IR converted camera, but it had a more "traditional" IR look to the SOOC shots. I really like yours. What part of the IR spectrum did you convert to or is it full? Did you post process these or are these true examples of how your infrared photos generally appear unedited?
The reason I'm asking about this is because I've been thinking about converting my old Rebel into an IR camera for a while now but keep waffling after I had my old one bite the dust after about a year (and converting it to Infrared of course voids any warranty).
I think you are the first person I've seen post true IR photos to UER and they are excellent. These are all quality, unique, very well composed shots!

If it's a throw away... go to it.

Taking off the internal IR filter may end up causing more sensor/lense ghosting and AF misses.
Since it's not designed to focus those wavelengths it may create focus issues with both the main and focus sensors.
May make the sensor(s) more susceptible to IR heat damage ie bright IR sources like the sun or molten steel.
Bottom line is it's on there for several reasons.
Personally even though I've had all my cams apart I try to avoid it whenever possible as they are precision instruments.
Use full ESD protocols.
A clean room for doing this is best.
Canon will still service it so if it's out of warranty, no foul.

Great great set!
Is this the one with the insane looking barbed wire with metal spikes, threats of dogs and guns????

Thank you for the kind words Dee!
I gave my camera the full spectrum treatment so I could switch things up when desired. The filter I use the most, and the one used for all my pics posted here so far is this one: https://kolarivisi...hrome-lens-filter/
It basically does a channel swap in-camera for you, so you're seeing those gorgeous reds as you're shooting, which is really something else! I rented a 720nm modified D810 a year ago and although that's what made me fall in love with IR, it was just too much work in post to get the photos where I wanted them...
There's still some work going from RAW to finished, but just the usual stuff I'd be doing if I was shooting regularly. Here's the church shot straight outta cam for reference:

These are gorgeously composed. Never knew IR photography could be so captivating. Thanks for the photos.

That church shot looks great, unfinished or not! May I ask where you had your camera converted and if you were happy with their work/price?
