Post by: MattNQ on June 20, 2016, 11:07:57 pm

Been a while since I've visited my favourite cemetery.

Hopefully your final visit will be a long time coming? I like the treatment because it adds a kind of spookiness to the images that is most appropriate.

Exactly. I particularly like the second.

Perfect treatment for the place… Both images are very fine but I'd give my vote for the second one.

Great images both!
The first image is amazing in the way that perspective seems to warp space.
The second is a fine composition.
Both capture the mood of the place magnificently - just very different images.

Is this IR Matt. I recently took some graveyard images that I haven't processed yet and I like the processing if it isn't IR.

Yes, it is IR.
But of course digital IR is clean and crisp, so I sometimes use an IR film effect over it to add a bit of flare and grain.  It works well for these type of shots.

Thank you all for the comments.

Tony, I had wondered about an adjustment to fix the edge distortion in the first one, but it does kind of add something in a weird way

Nicest IR shots I've seen in quite a while. The mood is just right.

Thank you Eric. I found if the clouds and light are right the IR works a treat here.
