I decided to convert my unused Sony A99 to Super Color Infrared which is equivalent to a 590nm Filter.
The results are very interesting and I look forward to exploring this new medium.
Here are some of my initial images, shot at Rice University

Norway – Day 13 – Lilihammer Back To Oslo

Short drive today through a rather unremarkable part of Norway. We arrived in Oslo pretty early and had to wait a few hours to get checked into our hotel. Temps are in the mid 80s and our hotel has no A/C so that’s a bit of a downer. The main thing we wanted to do this day was visit the Vigeland Sculpture Park. We decided to take the 30 minute walk from the hotel and hoped we wouldn’t get overwhelmed by the heat. We have a 6:30 am flight back to Houston tomorrow so this would our last hurrah. We took it slow and were able to make it without collapsing. Once we were there we were in great shape and enjoyed the park immensely, despite the heat. Tomorrow we catch a 6:30 am flight back to Houston. All in all, this has been a great adventure.

Norway – Day 12 – Røros To Lilihammer Via Norwegian Scenic Route Rondane

Today we drove from Røros To Lilihammer. Not a long drive, but a vert scenic one. Several stops along the way to admire the magnificent scenery. Weather was excellent.

Tiny Norway

Been awhile since I did one of these fake miniatures. Source photo was taken as we came down the mountain on the Flåm Train.

Norway – Day 11 – Trondheim To Røros Via Hell

Today we drove to Røros, but decided to detour through the small town of Hell to visit the railway station there. Tomorrow we drive to Lillehammer. The scenery along the way was wonderful. We encountered many reindeer on and near the road. In fact, we nearly collided with one that decided to cross the street in front of us.

Near miss!

Norway – Day 9 and 10 – Kristiansund To Tondheim With An Extra Day In Trondheim

We drive through the day and arrived in Trondheim pretty early. We were able to get checked into the hotel and explore the city. We focused our attention on Nidaros Cathedral and the building on on the old wharves. Trondheim is a fantastic city and easily walkable. After this we drive to Røros

Norway – Day 8 – Alesund To Kristiansund

Today we drove from Alesund to Kristiansund. The main attraction on this drive was the Atlantic Road. There was some nice scenery along the way, but the Atlantic Road was the highlight. Some photos and a few GoPro videos as we crossed the series of bridges on this magnificent road. As it turned out, there was a fun run and a marathon going on this day so there was a lot of pedestrian traffic

Norway – Day 7 – Geiranger to Alesund

Today we drive from Geiranger to Alesund. This took us up the Eagle Road and also to the infamous Trollstigen Road. Many twists and turn as we wound our way to Alesund. Great views of the Geiranger Fjord from the top of The Eagle Road

This is a GoPro video of our drive down Trollstigen

Alesund is a fantastic town and probably our favorite city in all of Norway. The city burned down in 1904 and it was rebuilt. The rebuilding adopted the Art Nouveau style of the time so the city is a throwback to that time.

Tomorrow we drive to Kristiandsun.
