Amazing shots!, please share your technique.

Leorooster · 2nd of July 2005 (Sat)

Great shots. Love Infra red pics!

CDS,
Those are fantastic. Where were those taken? What kind of exposure times were you working with?

CyberDyneSystems · 2nd of July 2005 (Sat)

Thanks Skippy,

I use a D60 that has been converted for IR... but you can use a Hoya r72 filter as well.

I Shoot RAW (an absolute must in this case) with a custom white balance to get an almost B&W image.. (with standard white balance everything is Red... Infra Red)

I convert to 8bit tiff using BreezeBrowser,. and tweek in PSCS
Usually just levels,. but also channel mixer and occasionally I'll sharpen with USM (but not allways)

The above were all taken with the 17-40mm f/4L

They were taken On Mt Olympus.. you need special invitation to go there

But then.. with a name like Homer,. I'm sure they'll open the gates for you

Using a converted D60 my shutter times are really pretty fast.
I'd say I'm loosing only about two stops or less to the IR filter... since the IR high pass filter on the D60's CMOS has been removed.

These are all way too awesome. The first is my favorite. Too cool.

wow

these are errie beautiul

it's like as though you died and went to heaven but there was no one there

(especially the first shot , I see the odd person in others)

a cold weird feel to the stately beauty all over

love the 'colours' and shots

science fiction scene .........that's it
couldn't think what it made me think of

kenyc · 3rd of July 2005 (Sun)

I don't usually care much for IR shots, but these are great!

Duder · 3rd of July 2005 (Sun)

beautiful.

how sharp do your images look full size?

CyberDyneSystems · 4th of July 2005 (Mon)

Thanks Marie.. I love your description

I kept thinking of the Apollo/Adonis episode of Start Trek when I saw these on the PC screen

Kenny,
glad you like 'em

Duder,
Not too sharp really.. But I find that I don't want them too sharp. There's something subdued about the whole IR thing. These ones I played with levels and contrast to help get the colors to be a bit more vibrant... but when I convert to B&W instead.. I don't even like to do much with levels so that ther remain much softer and more subtle.

Here's another of the pillars;

WOW! DOUBLE WOW! Those are amazing CDS. love to see more.

Thanks Sandy!

I'm very glad to get your feedback

I'm really enjoying this more "creative" photography.. as opposed to the bird stuff which let's me be the technician I am at heart ...

I'm very interested in feedback on these.. as it's so new to me.

Here's the other post I did earlier ;
