Alpenglow

another IR panorma of an Otto Lake sunset. few days ago in Healy,

Alaska. please anjoy and comment/critique!

Wonderful reflections, great sky.

Spectacular! Great composition. It would be interesting to see this pic without IR, did you take a non-IR version of this? Cheers, J

J Perez - actually not. I just kad my IR camera on me.. but from my experience I know a regular shot would be much less impressive. at that time you could hardly see the redness of the glow with a naked eye

Not sure what you are after, but this feels very muddy and mucky. I would never think Alpenglow. The problem with infrared is that it just looks grey if there is not a lot of sun to make it sing. I am not sure how you are adding the color, but the problem is that the underlying image is not very appealing.

I really like this take on a panoramic. A first I've seen done in IR. The contrast is a real eye grabber. Beautiful work.

Astonishing effect. One of the rare times that I feel that IR is more than just eye catching. Congratulations. Karl

Mona - I'm not adding colour, it's there, just alterating it :) and an alpenglow is a glowing mountain in rising or setting sun, when everything else hardly glows, isn't it? it doesn't have to be shown as red.. I don't think there's any problem with IR, one just may like it or not - just like anything else :) thanks

Ok, so I don't understand that you aren't adding color? Maybe I don't understand how you are doing IR. Generally, IR is done as black and white, but here there is color. Second, color IR is pretty wild stuff and this doesn't look like that. So if you shot IR black and white then you added color. So maybe your camera does something that I don't know about. But since there is color and you describe this as IR, I just assumed you added color back to the shot.

 

As to my comment, I love IR, but I have found it to be extremely muddy in the wrong light and here, I just felt you had that muddy quality, which is exaccerbated by the coloration here. I don't think I mentioned anything about reds or warm colors. But while I think there might be a nice photograph to be had at this location, I just think you missed it--maybe waited too long or, as there is a cloud cover, the conditions didn't ever materialize. It happens, to everyone, but I think this just falls a bit flat from my standpoint. It just isn't a photo that I find inspiring, and that too happens.
