See Forever - IR

All comments are welcome and appreciated. Cheers, Sondra

This lanscape looks like it's been shot using infrared film, How did you achieve this? It works well for me. Great shot!

Sondra, Wow, lady this is so good,perhap a little better than the foot-bridge shot of yours I saw on here earlier,great perspective. This has got just about everything, great fence leading back almost to the farm buildings, the trees,and a perfect sky....Oh yes, Isn't it just great to have our friend Tony back,just hope he doesn't get to doing to much, to soon....Like I've said to him, I've got to get me a digital camera that can do IR.....All the best....Jim

Please forgive my poor English and grammer, after all I'm an American.....Jim

It's all about angles and lines. You created a common view and made it beautiful. The filter worked well for this location. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Nice dynamics to this shot - the fence leads the eye to the restful buildings and trees. Good sky that day too!

Sondra I like the picture and feel as the others have said above. Well done.

And Jim your a funny guy. :o)

Hi Sondra. Just stopping by to say that this is a very pleasant photograph. Great composition and a nice infrared capture. Beautiful clouds! I like to photograph in the infrared realm, too, because it often reveals what we can not normally see. A couple of questions:

How do you meter for this? The R72 is visually opaque; are you metering first and then attaching the filter, or does the Coolpix function with the filter in place? Are you using auto, or manual overides?

Did you tone this in Photoshop? Looks good! Regards.

Great landscape!!!EXCELENT!

Hello Walter, the Coolpix functions with the filter in place. I use the LCD monitor to compose, but there was a problem with the bright sunlight. My husband took the viewfinder off an old Rolleicord and attached it to the monitor. The camera is automatic and handheld. When I was using my Oly C8080, I had to compose then put the filter on, a tripod was necessary. Sepia tone was added in PS. Hope this infomation answers your questions. Sondra

Sondra,that is a nice landscape and IR works well here, I wish the sepia tones to be a little less bright, but never the less a nice image. Pnina

Thanks for the info Sondra. Although I am shooting infrared with film, I have a friend with a D70 who would like to try something like this. Neat trick with the Rolleicord! Once again, good photograph. Regards.

Thanks, to all for your encouraging comments. Cheers, Sondra

Good geometry plus impessive effect of IR. Only two problems (IMO) are grain and excess of light. Congrats.

See forever indeed. I know next to nothing about IR, but I adore the photo nonetheless.

there is something about this photo that makes me just keep staring at it. i find the high brightness just adds to the surreal feeling of it. incredibly captivating.
