Dark paths & silver light
« on: April 03, 2014, 03:16:33 am »

Been playing with an IR modified camera recently - here's a couple of ideas that fell out of my head & rolled around for a bit on the floor

Very nice dreamy atmosphere.
I like  them and it's not IR overdone as one often can see.

I like these, Matt, especially the structure in #1, and its realism.

Good shooting, Matt. These actually have something to say.

Excellent - dreamy and vaguely sinister.

Thanks all for looking and commenting.

I haven't done a lot of landscape shooting this year, but recently I have been taking my daughter to rowing at an ungodly hour one morning a week. So I been going for a jog/walk with a camera exploring the paths around our river...and have been quite enjoying finding new places to shoot. Lately we have had very little dawn colour, so I find the IR camera lets me concentrate on the light & shadows instead.

A path often lends itself to an easy (and maybe too obvious?) composition ...I find the hard part is how to make it interesting & add more drama to it.
I was aiming for that mix of dreamy but with an overall sense of forboding. An unsettling sense that maybe all is not as it seems.

Very evocative - the first one especially. I'm seeing it as a square crop, though, towards the right 2/3s of the photograph.

Thank you Terry, I'll give the square crop a try
