[Belmondo]

Very nice. Which camera?

Or has your Mk II been drinking?

[Belmondo]

Never mind. I just saw the other thread.....it's a D60!!


Really nice.

[Duder]

excellent. surreal colours.

[JMAS]

Now I'm realy convinced I'll enjoy this "artsy " phase you getting into.
Please keep sharing in this line, being it IR or not.

Since Laz left I don't remember to have seen such quality aand quantity in this line of images.
I realy like your style in this "non nature" (or non-birdy) photography.

I like them all but the "pilgrim" is fantastic. Great observation and very well grasped IMO.


PS- BTW, the title is just perfect.
(Bono is screaming in my head while seeing the photos) :D:rolleyes:

ME TOO!
I even went back and watched my downloaded "U2_at_Superbowl_XXXVI_Halftime_Show_02032002.mpg" video and was of course reduced to tears.. (this was the post 911 tour.. which I saw.. whith the names.. :cry: :cry: :cry: )

Thanks JMAS.. really appreciate your comments.

[Maureen Souza]

These are very cool....almost surreal looking. My favorite is the first one..almost has a cartoon quality to it. So awesome what you can do to a photo these days!:D

[Jim G]

Good lord... that's really trippy. Reminds me of something out of Through the Looking Glass.

Very nice work!

[CyberDyneSystems]

:lol: I haven't heard "trippy" in years :lol:

thanks.. glad you find them trippy :) :)

Maureen.. thanks.. it's my favorite too.. I like the cartoony dimestore novel cover look.

[condyk]

I can see your arm ...


I dunno, just seems funny to me!!!!!

[JoseC]

Very nice, keep posting.

[superstar]

Between these & Mt. Olympus, you have forced me to order the Hoya R72 IR filter :D Keep up the good shots.


Rich

[dkord]

Nice photos.
That filter(Hoya R72) is so dark. How did you get shutter speeds fast enough to stop the pedestrian's movement or hand holding?

[CyberDyneSystems]

The IR high pass filter in front of the CMOS sensor has been removed.. allowing all the IR info to get in.. shutter speeds are nearly what they would be with a "normal" digital.

[dkord]

I think I saw something about it a while ago(photonet?) but didn't realise it enable "normal" exposure times. I guess if I can stumble on a used body I'll have to have it retrofitted: It looks well worth it. Colors are great!

[2goldens]

Very good. I like this photography. I don't know how to do it yet, but I like it.

[fetching]

is there a thread somewhere that you explain how to do this? very nice stuff.

[CyberDyneSystems]

I think an IR Tutorial for these forums is in order.. we'll have to work on one.. ;)


But you should check out
www.kleptography.com
These is also a "sticky thread" in the G Series forums..
Don Ellis' site will not only show some of the best examples of Digital IR,. he has posted his post workflow and instructions on how to convert a G1.

Even if you have no intentions of doing this yourself.. it is a great read to understand the idea behind it.

[GreenGemini2000]

Man, I have got to get me one of those filters! Your photos are so tight! Please give us some details.

[Big_B]

Your IR pictures keep getting better and better. This is really stunning work! The first one is my favorite. The drama of the sky and the empty streets make it feel positively post apocalyptic.

[Andy_T]

Yes, 'Service road #7' is positively spectacular ... with or without your elbow :wink:

Thanks for sharing!

Best regards,
Andy

[N_reverie]

In the ones with only certain colors, did you photoshop that? or does the lens do that for you?

[BottomBracket]

CDS, thanks for taking us down this IR path. Very surreal, great title (U2 fan here too, but I like Joshua Tree and earlier works better than the new ones). Keep them coming!

[yakbut]

Superb shame theres no tumbleweed

[MattyB]

white leaves! :D:D:D:D
whats IR?

love em :D

[bigun]

Awesome!! The blue tree in the last one is unreal almost like something out of the Wizard of Oz. Great job!!

[Wazza]

white leaves! :D:D:D:D
whats IR?

love em :D

Infra Red.

Very nice CDS. :)

I'm almost wanting a 2nd body just for this. A 20Da, is way too expensive, for using it only part of the time. However astrophotography could also come in handy without the IR filter.

Ha.. I actually stopped being a U2 "fan" waaaaaay back when WAR (the only U2 album I own .. on Vinyl!!) ...was still only being played on College stations :lol:

I saw them live at a free concert that the Brown U. Student Union had put together... must have been .. what '83-ish... ? .. just goes to show.. you know never know who's going to get huge ;)

[CyberDyneSystems]

In the ones with only certain colors, did you photoshop that? or does the lens do that for you?

It's the colors that are left behind after the InfraRed filter has done it's work.. I do "tweek" them in PS.. but the color is there allready.

[hollow]

... no,.. but I have http://members.bellatlantic.net/%7Evze2hdzu/pics/beer.gif

I'm not very attracted ti IR pictures since my "equipment" is unable to do ! :D
But I have to say that your pictures are absolutely great !

Regards

P.S. You have to make available that smile ! :lol:

[Don Ellis]

My favorite is the second one -- the man even has the right foot forward for proper artistic balance. :)

Only comment is the one I made in another three -- a slight bit more sharpening will tighten up the leaves and the vertical lines on the building and the man, setting your infrared photos apart from the blurred images most infrared photographers have to endure, especially with wind-blown foliage.

Cheers,

Don

[Jackal]

I love the last one! So pretty!

So there's no chance in hell that my 350D can take any pictures like these if I buy the R72 filter? I have to have a special camera with it's IR pass filter thingy majigy removed?

[CyberDyneSystems]

The only thing would change would be shutter times.. trees moving would make them "softer" and moving subjects like people would be pretty much out of the question.

But for static shots ... like most of these.. a tripid would get you similar results ;)

[stoneylonesome]

WOW! another great IR series. Look like they could be right out of a Stanley Kubrik movie. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Titus213]

Amazing photos. Love them. Thanks.
