Grandview Marsh - IR

All comments are welcome. Cheers, Sondra

Good work Sondra

 

great image Sondra, just wonder if the sky reflected in the water running to the top left is a little bright ? its the thing thats catching my eye when I look at it

Would love some info on how you get this effect, its a lot like infra red film

Si

Si Cliff, at the present time, I am using an old digital Nikon Coolpix 950 with a Hoya R72 filter for infrared. Neat Image is probably the effect you are talking about. This camera is only 2 megapixels and there is some noise; Neat Image takes care of it. Hope I have answered your questions. Cheers, Sondra

OOOH MY, what a shot, just plain terrific, Sondra....I'm thinking about Si's comment about the small bright area. My thought is that since all the foreground is in the shade of clouds, therefore the distant cloud's reflection in the water, would be just as bright as if the near area were in full sun....This is getting to be a long thought....Anyway there might be a positive effect to burning in the clouds reflection,just a little. Really to me, it's fine,since it is I expect it to be....Now aren't you glad I got on here today?....Jim

Jim and Si, this photo was taken in bright sunlight, no shade. I darkened the clouds to make them more dramatic and lightened the foreground somewhat. Sunny 16 day, great for IR shooting. Cheers, Sondra

I really like the two different color toning effects. I don't know the first thing about IR photography, so I don't know if you do that in-camera or post-processing on your computer. But it's great whatever! :-) Super image!

Well Sondra, Congradulations on such a fine job of controling your subject. It certainly me believing the whole lower 2/3 was in the shade of clouds. Still a wonderful piece of work....Jim

very nice!

Thanks to everyone for taking time to comment on my work. Cheers, Sondra

Seeing excellent work like this makes me what to run out a buy the expensive Hoya IR filter that I priced. The tonal quality of this capture blows me way for lack of a better adjective.

Jim

EXCELLENTSondra

I really like the textures and lines in this shot. I also particularly like the fact that you have produced competitive results using a really old digital camera. You have certainly proved the old saying that "cameras don't take photos, people do". Well done.

I've just realized that I said almost the same thing about one of your other photos. Oh well, at least one of us (not me) has some imagination!

Thanks, James, Tony and Jon for your comments on my photo. Cheers, Sondra

Sondra, this shot is great. Try red/blue channel swap, the resulting colors are superb! ;-)

 

Best regards.

What a beautiful shot, i love Infa Red,Its tranforms a landscape into something spectacular,I love the depth of feild and how your eye is drawn right into the scene down through the stream and up into that amazing sky,this caught my eye straight away,nice work,regards
