Another IR shot
the texture the wind created for the sand looks like contour lines as if it's mapping out the whole universe on this beach's surface.
Enjoy

Nice one. I particulary like the effect of the grass. Its looks like a blast in someway. Just wish the framing would look a bit better. It deserves it

Fantastic shot, too bad you have the sunflare in the image and the grass looks a little soft. I love the rippled sand and the boats under that interesting sky

there was wind at the beach...and it was a long exposure shot so yeah...the softness of the grass i think would add to the movement of the wind and create an illusion..
thanks for the comment

Well, ain't that a jiff.
very very neat,
care to explain, briefly what IR is? plzzz
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe sure
well IR stands for Infra Red Filter. It helps block out visible lights, those that you can see w/ your normal vision, like greenery of a tree...blue of a sky...ect .... through IR filter it blocks all those out. It likes a night goggle of some sort. When you take a shot w/ IR filter ...it came out red usually...if you don't pre set the white balance ... then when you're in post processing...and turn it to bw or in IR effect ...you'll see dramatic changes effects on trees and sky... what used to be green and blue now becomes white and black ...the vegetation of the tree is white...

For me, the mood of the photo seems to be one of desolation ._.
Good composition =] I like the movement/flow of the photo.

Yeah! i feel the wind
Having someone in the frame .. maybe a little bit far ... with the wind in the hair ( like yours.. ) maybe would had humanity to this shoot.
Im not sure about the flare... at first look i tought it to be cool.. more and more i look at the shoot.. i would like it to vanish. Did you use a lens hood?
Of course those are my personnal tastes.. and im not sure i fully know the constraint of IR photography... what did you notice special? any Apertume limits? any special Exposure/light needs?
Dont let go the eggo! continu youre improving quickly with IR.. i stay a pure neophyte

its the only question why people create the illusion of Gods and Goddess like creations for things the wind.. The wind effect is a wonderful thing seeing we don't see what it gets created from, rather the effect is the only aspect seen. The cause is a mystery, and yet the effect is silently and yet beautifully misunderstood. A simple, and easy to digest title made this piece a wonderful shot to look as you captured the ambience of what the wind's effects were doing to the outside world as you had taken such a nice shot with your camera.

I really like the lighting and how it creates this imaginary leading line from the top left down to the bottom right with the sun flares inbetween. There's an eerie feel, yet it's a good one and the tones along with the composition help. What I really like are the boats out in the water and the juxaposition of the sand with the plants to the right.

simply lovely ... even the little lens flares ( which the r72 is notorious for ) are wonderful.

I'm not a big fan of IR, it often forced into a context where it suppose to be used effectivley, but this has a context of it's own, a dramatic one, who rather enforces the method of ir instead of justifying it, and I really like that speact of it, added to the pot that it's a sweet shot I'd say you did a good job here

holy cowww this is amazing. it really does look like another planet. i love the contrast between the soft movement of the grasses and the definition of the sand. and the sky is beautiful as well. it's such a great IR shot because, although i haven't seen much IR really, the shots i have seen have all kind of looked the same...but this one looks much different. it's beautiful, strange, foreign...and near me!
