Green Field

IR photo of a field and trees. Thanks for taking a look.

im so used at seeing IR basic colors,but now..

this is totally gorgeous. 7/7

Wonderful still! Beautiful effect!

This is very, very cool.... Ive seen a lot of b/w and color IR, but nothing that looks like b/w IR, but is color, if you get what I mean... How did you do it?

 

But note that it's a great shot mainly cause of the effect, I would like to see something similar, a bit more complex with a more dynamic landscape. You have too much grass in the foreground too and could easily crop half of that. When it doesn't have structure, it doesn't really add to the feeling of depth either..

very cool effects... i liked the colors used on the trees... very original.. 6/6

Wow made me look, nicely done.

So beautiful!

Very pleasing image, Jay. Victor is right about cropping the grass. It would have been interesting perhaps to include more sky, the clouds are fantastic. Best regards. Peter

fantastic colour here!!!!!!!

Thanks, everyone, for the comments. Good points raised by a couple of you about the amount of the field in the foreground. Thanks.

This is an amazing IR. I used B+W092 filter on D70 and failed badly. I had some advices from Tony and Allon, the other IR guys whom I really admire. But I blamed my camera, until I see your shot. Jay, we need to talk. :D

Beautiful, arresting image, Jay. I think the expanse of green foreground adds to the drama. But it would be interesting to see the shot with more sky.

Would you share your technique in achieving this image?

For this shot I first took an image without the IR filter. Then keeping the aperture and focus (had it locked after the ist shot) the same, went to manual exposure and bracketed around 1 second with a Hoya R72 IR filter on. WB manually set to the bright green grass for the IR shot.

 

In PS I adjusted the color of the IR shot with a Channel Mixer adjustment and then pasted the IR version over the normally colored image. Then I erased or masked out the grassy portion of the IR layer, leaving the green grass of the normal photo showing. So, basically it's a composite of a normal image and an IR image.

 

I hope this helps some.

Jay. Thanks so much. I must try this.

Good job.

Jay, thanks for the tip. This does help. I guess I will replace my B+W IR filter with a Hoya then.

very green feild in fact. stunning sky. nice shot. eyes find pleasent atmosphere all over the frame.

Very nice, with excelent sharpness and tasteful colors.

this is awesome. great work. one of the best pics i've seen. the three major colors go perfectly.

Congratulation, an image expectacular and very original. With a great brightness and texture. A greeting

Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone.

perfection - beauty - smoothness - tough to find an example where all go hand in hand. I never shot IR, but this one really haunts me into it.
