Mirroring Image 1 - D200, IR
Sometimes I find a scene where I like the light but don’t find a composition that works for me. I have found that you should just take an image of what attracted you in the first place and review the images later. Playing around with the images in CS5 can be lots of fun or really frustrating depends on your frame of mind at the time. Here are some of the scenes where I liked the light but not the original composition…so I played in CS5 with mirroring, and a few other things to come up with these. A touch of surrealism can be just what is needed sometimes…the architectural images make me think of something out of an old Buck Rogers movie.

IR Pine Tree - D200, 18-35mm
I took a drive last week up the mountain to one of the nearby lakes checking on the waterlilies. Well they are a ways away from being ready to shoot but I did find a few other things to photograph. Here are three images from my walk in the woods with my IR converted D200 with an 18-35mm zoom…that’s all I took along, really!

Duck on Lake IR - D200, 18-35mm
Every so often I go out with just the IR converted camera, gets me looking at things in a different way. At the lake I found a duck taking a swim, the combination of textures caught my eye… I also took a ride to this commercial property nearby that I can access anytime. This is a two image stitch, hand held, the IR and a wide angle lens lets me hand hold almost anything at f/8 or f/11. I also did some IR pano tests with the tripod and RRS pan head; working on zeroing the pano technique in for when I need to work fast to get a pano image. May be some IR pano images in the future…

Spanish Bluebells - D700, 85mm PC
Just outside the back door we have a row of these Spanish Bluebells that were glowing in the sunlight this morning. Grabbed the camera with the 85mm PC and a Soft-Ray filter and found this shot. Processed in CS5 using the ‘pixel bender’ oil-paint plug-in.
And now for something completely different…just down the road is this farm I drive by just about everyday. I have started to look for when the light is best and how to shoot it. Of course IR is always in the back of my mind so here is an IR version of the barn down the road…
