(IR) Old Farm House And Garage

Photo Critique Requested - Your Comments Are Most Welcomed. I'd Like

To Hear From You...Thanks! Mike

Terrific exposure! I love the sky--the snow white clouds and dark blue portion contrast well. To be honest, I might like to see a bit more of it! I think the power lines take away from the shot but I can't complain because I run into the same problem so often. They don't ruin it, but I know personally I hate having them in my photos. I think you could produce a different shot with more sky that would be just as pleasing if not more. BUT, overall, this is a terrific composition and a well exposed B&W. The colors and texture of the trees, buildings, sky, and clouds contrast remarkably well and make a wonderful shot!

I too have some dislike for the power lines. A tighter crop would produce a nice image, however you would loose some of the contrast that the sky offers. My other thought on IR is that a lot of brush / grasses tend to blend with trees and shrubs eliminating a lot of detail.

Like it very much. Very good light effect. Regards, Jean.

Nice appropriate subject matter for a B&W IR composition. I too am guilty of leaving in the power lines and they just don't work, I like the fence though. Nice range of tones with this IR image.

Very beautiful, excellent composition and technique. I have to agree about the power lines.

Cheers

Nice capture. I just got the hoya filter you used here. I never thought IR would be so hard. I've used it a couple of times. My pictures turned out dark. If I pushed it a few more seconds it would be blown out. You have any tips? What was your exposure on this?
