IR / The Gate
Posted by Michael Fresh (Chester, United Kingdom) on 12 July 2011 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
My personal favourite.
My book entitled, Looe in Cornwall a photographic tour, is on sale now.

Yep, I like it too. The blackness of the gate is really stark against the, now white, foliage

That's a nice composition.
One of the things I like about IR on digital cameras is the almost astonishing clarity of detail, and this shows it very well. I bet it looks amazing in full res.

Superb composition with an intriguing abstract quality to the landscape. Superb b&w tones you get here as well.

@Stephen: The strong B&W tones are due to the infra red effect.

Great image, Michael. Which filter have you placed, the 830? I love how dark you are rendering the sky.

@Francisco Romero: If I remember correctly it was a wratten 89B double layer. These are the first shots I have taken, I think they are too strong, maybe some adjustment is needed.

Reminds me totally of when I used infrared film, which was something
back in the day. The trees and grass always look like they went through
some sort of nuclear fallout. Love how that gate is open as if to say this
is what it is, now. You get a crazy sort of albino setting, that the Winter
brothers would feel at home in !! Superb photo, Michael, one that simply
shocks, almost a winter wonderland in summer !

I love, love, love the infrared, Michael:) May I ask, this is digital, yes? Are you using photoshop? Whatever you are doing, it is really good!
