Yes, both are IR.
Oddly, for years I've always thought Bombay beach was named after the city in India. I have also known for a while that there was a military base on the Southern side of the sea. During WW2, the sea was used to test different aerodynamic shapes for the Hiroshima bomb. Bombers would aim at targets out in the water near the base to see which design was most accurate. So it finally clicked in my brain today that Bombay referred to the bombing runs.

Interesting bit of history, too.
Were you there for work? Only production I could find of note was a French one in the time period.

The shot of the gutted house is stunning! The way you composed that shot is impressive.
I also really like the crusty crane. It is a really interesting shot. The frame on it adds an element to it. Is that a lens hood that is being partially captured?

Must have been a heck of a party the nigh before!

I expect the gutted building was a boathouse. As for the vignetting, my money's on a wide-angle lens not quite covering the IR sensor area at a wide aperture. Could be a software effect, but I'm inclined to say no to that.

That was the Cokin filter holder on a wide angle lens. I was using a polarizer and the filter holder projects forward quite a bit (it can hold up to 3 filters at once). After that shoot, I bought some standard screw-on type CP filters.

Thanks. The house had a painted sign on it saying "Bait Shop" I don't know if the structure was created specifically for that though.

Now it's just photography bait.

I’ve a couple dozen Cokin Filters from back when I was first starting in photography (film). I figured the more filters I had the better photographer I’d be (that prediction turned out wrong). I need to break some of them out and play around with them.
