Tom, a sight all too familiar to Australian eyes.  Sadly.  Stay safe.

Thanks Hugh. Some rain would certainly be welcome in the Canadian fire zone, which is 500 miles from where I live. That distance amazes me.

What can I say?  Yesterday was a pretty boring day.

Up the street...down the street.

Great articulate detail for this old contender!

[Birna Rørslett]

Day length is increasing towards Summer's Solstice and shooting IR hand-held at 23:05 in the night is no problem. The sun set a few minutes prior to this capture.  We are far too south to get midnight sun, but the dark night hours shrink rapidly now.

Nikon Z5 full-spectrum, Zoom-Nikkor 28-45mm f/4.5, B+W 093 IR filter. This veteran zoom lens from the late '70s, Nikon's first production model of a wide-angle zoom lens, is excellent for IR by the way.

Thank you Fons, much appreciated.

Birna, 23:05?! I do like a lot how that combo works for IR

[Birna Rørslett]

Yes, 23:05. At sun set. I went outside on Ruth's porch to look at the setting sun and had the Z5 with me, so tried a few shots for fun. Do note the street lamps hadn't yet switched on.

The old 28-45 is not sharper than its successor, the 25-50/4, but quite superior for IR. Never seen any real hot spot with the 28-45.

Yeah.  Those took a lot of work.

Thanks for the encouragement.
