BEHOLD THE POWER OF INFRARED !
Here's a rather boring shot I took off the mountain today.
http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/91112475/original It is notable only because the mountains in the distance are usually not visible and lost in the haze. But today was a clear day. Now look at the same scene taken with the Totally Infrared D60: http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/91112663/original The mountains in the distance seem to jump out at ya. Infrared is great for cutting through smoke and haze. |

Infrared is great for cutting through smoke and haze. The mountains certainly do jump out in that second pic, but it looks painted/rendered/processed in some other way. Is it? I thought trees/leaves should be more white or something. -- Troy Piggins Please feel free to provide constructive criticism on any photos I post. I'm always learning and appreciate feedback. |

Infrared is great for cutting through smoke and haze. I like the second shot very much, but as Troy points out there is a lot of dark foliage so it doesn't look very IR-ish... The demo would have been better if it really was the same scene (it's a different angle and different lighting). And I'm afraid that first shot looks like a John Navas effort with the smudged foliage (yes, at 'original' size!). We have a similar-ish valley scene near here (I'm thinking Mt Tamborine, for the locals), so I might give this a go soon.. I haven't done much IR, and this is an interesting observation. |

Infrared is great for cutting through smoke and haze. Both photos are way under your normal standards. The first is very soft and the seconds is pretty ugly, I am thinking jpeg artifacts. And I would expect the second one to be ugly with it only using something like 30KB for an image that size. Scott |

I have to disagree, Scott. *The first one demonstrate the power of the mighty 17-40/4. *The sharpness and magnificent detail jumps out at you. Even the bokeh is beyond stunning. *The composition and execution of this shot demonstrates the level of quality one gets when time is given to zoom with your feet. *And the second one, WOW! *I have to agree with Helen. *This is his best work yet. *As difficult as it is, I think Bret pulled it off and emulated Uncle Floyd's style perfectly. The second one does look like something Floyd would post, I have come to expect much better from Bret. Scott |

When I shot with IR film, the real white foliage only showed up in direct and harsh sunlight. It was always the norm to see high contrast...going from really white to very black. I love that lens!

But today was a clear day. ..... The weather isn't very good for landscapes at the moment And it doesn't look like going away in a hurry according to the reports Yes, isn't it wonderful? (oh, er..sorry to all those people who were looking for a nice soak-up-the-sun holiday.. - for some of us it is wonderful to see all this rain!) Anyway, I suspect IR is not quite so effective at cutting thru clouds, fog and rain.. so you're right, there may be a bit of a delay! |
