This is beautiful...so moody, so dreamy, so melancholic...i first thought it's a cloud or something like that...
I love the textures...

hclay In reply to death-of-season [2008-11-02 20:31:58 +0000 UTC]

thank you! its a very deceptive scene in infrared, sort of cloud-like, sort of wave-like. it was interesting.

the textures are all rocks and concrete and whatnot. i think i spend more time taking textures than i do actual pictures.

It's not something I've ever really played with myself.... I should, I need some new inspiration/ideas at the moment....

hclay In reply to aqueous-sun [2008-10-23 18:25:26 +0000 UTC]

i adore it. although most of the dslr cameras cannot actually do it, they all have little infrared blockers in front of the sensor for whatever reason. but you can get an older point-and-shoot like mine (the powershots, from what i can tell, can all do infrared) and then a $20 mount and a little $40 filter and do nice infrared stuff.

for my part, i think im going to buy a 20D off of my roommate, because its about time i learned to use an actual camera.

aqueous-sun In reply to hclay [2008-10-26 11:11:37 +0000 UTC]

I've done the odd experiment with Infra-Red in Photoshop but never in the real world....

Good luck with the 20D. I'm vaguely toying with the idea of moving up from by D50 to a D300....

I'm off to Bruges for a few days with a couple of mates, hopefully I'll find some inspiration - along with the loads of excellent beer

hclay In reply to aqueous-sun [2008-10-26 18:46:14 +0000 UTC]

i love the infrared. its the main reason i havent actually upgraded to a real camera, i think. mostly i just want the 20D so i can do proper depth of field, which is a total loss with my tiny camera. but honestly my pictures are only about 10% actual photograph and then 90% postprocessing.


bruges! that should be excellent. have some good beer for me.

its actually hard to find places without people in new york. its hard for them to stand on the lake, though.

Birgit-Zartl-Photo In reply to hclay [2008-10-19 06:35:18 +0000 UTC]

is it infrared only? or did you mix it? it has such an outstanding quality....

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

hclay In reply to Birgit-Zartl-Photo [2008-10-21 23:30:25 +0000 UTC]

this one is just infrared. but i did a strange workup with it, where i took the picture at a really high ISO with a low exposure so it has a great deal of grain, fixed the levels with photoshop, and then i put it through neatimage in order to clean out the noise [link] which i think is part of what gives it that sort of dreamy look to it. im a fan of that technique, although im not sure why taking a picture with high grain and then removing the grain is different then just taking it without the grain, but it really does come out differently somehow. then the textures are all various concretes and rocks this time.
