Hanging On - IR

All comments are welcome and appreciated. Cheers, Sondra

Sondra, you are really getting good at this IR stuff. I love this one.

Thanks, Jim, I prefer shooting IR to color now. There is just a magical quality about IR that I like. Cheers, Sondra

Another great image, Sondra. It looks like a dream...

There is an ethereal quality to this one...It makes me want to go out and get a sony camera and try IR...

 

Thanks for this truly inspiring image...

Beautiful work, Sondra! Best regards, Ruud.

Lovely shot Sondra, poetic composition.

 

Regards

I'm not sure if this will show my ignorance (because I know nothing about IR photography) ... but I don't like this as well as a lot of the others that you've done. It's the glow about the tree that bothers me. It's almost as if either the sky or the tree was PS'ed in some way, and that the details around the edges of the ends of the branches weren't done closely enough. Please correct me if I am overlooking something ... or if I'm talking about something about which I know nothing (see the first part of my comment....)

Lou Ann, I think you are right, I used some contrast on the old tree to make it come alive. Going to Colorado in 4 days to catch the Fall foliage.

OOoh - Colorado! My favorite ... I'll wait with bated breath!! :-)

Sondra, Will be looking forward to photos from both your cameras.....Jim

Nice work. Well done. Regards.

The foreground reeds (or whatever they are) are very good. I tend to agree with Lou Ann about the sloping tree - it doesn't seem to merge into the background quite as it should. But a fine shot despite these quibbles!
