On the Suwannee River - IR

Comments are welcome. Sondra

Backlight a bit too strong.

On the contrary, I like the light! (might not be backlight as this is IR photography). Good foreground details too.

Sondra, A great subject, and masterfully handled......Jim

Excelente imagen de gran belleza, perfecta luz , color , gran composicion, magnifico encuadre, saludos cordiales Sondra.

I think you have mastered the IR composition to perfection. Your imagery is so surreal and mysterious and my mind can fabricate a story to go with each image. These trees look like they're right out of the dinosaur days.

I commented on one of your other photographs that I thought the sky was burned out, but here hte pure white sky works well and the whole scene has a wonderful luminous quality. The forms of the trees on the right are great.

 

Nice work.

amazing grace!!! regards!

Plenty of IR radiation in that sky to turn it so bright, and enough of it still bouncing around down below to create the proverbial "wood effect". Your Sony modification must be detecting around 720nm and longer (with the R72). I use Macophot 820c in my 6x7 to do this and with a similar filter. It starts to get sensitive around 800nm, so I miss a portion of the shorter waves.

Great composition, too! I am envious. Regards.

Very nice shot!

 

Congrats.

Very nice work, Sondra! Best regards, Ruud.

one word, awesome.

 

Keep it up,

Wonderful mood with IR dear Sondra!

 

I wish also that I can see more of the trees! the upper part :)

So this is that "Swanee Ribber":-)We used to hum this song in our school:-

 

"Way down upon de Swanee Ribber,

 

Far, far away,

 

Dere's wha my heart is turning ebber,

 

Dere's wha de old folks stay."

 

Never thought I shall be able to view this river.

 

Beautiful rendition,Sondra.

Many thanks for all the fine words, Cheers, Sondra

I like the backlight, too. Because there are great darks in the foreground on the right, and the hot spot isn't too overpowering. These trees are fascinating. I love how funnel-shaped they are!

Super toning and effect. The dark to light enhances the depth. Kind regards John

i know these trees... in french, they are named "cypr賠chauve". i reconise them cause there is little "tree" all around the big trees...

Sorry... i don't speak a very good english. i'm french

However...your pics are magic, captivating, speechless... i love the ambiance... really emotive photo. thanks.

Excellent tones and composition!!

Wonderful landscape and composition, excellent black and white.

The strongly lit sky works well with the fantasy-like shapes of the swampland tree trunks and other vegetation.

Another fantasy image, Sondra! Very nice!

Thanks again everyone for your comments. Cheers, Sondra
