HDR + IR

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

You've got 2 quite interesting pairs of images here. In both cases my preference is for the first of each pair. In the first IR shot that cloud front looks like a big wave about to crash over the rocks. For me I'd have a liked a touch less foreground in the first HDR shot by lopping some of the bottom, but as I said it's my pick. Thanks for sharing these.

I like these and now ask myself what would it look like combining the two methods?

Very nice picture and difficult to decide
which I like best. Perhaps, the second
because of those vibrant colours.

Well you could have been a little higher off the ground, but I mean just cropping some foreground like so to reduce the very strong impact of the rocks in the foreground and give some more balance to push the eye into the rest of the image.

Of course my "vision" of this and yours are different so feel free to say what I've done pisses on your masterwork :wink:

WOW...I have been waiting for you to put up some IR since you got that D60 converted. It looks stunning! Making me lust after an IR camera again!

thanks cam. i really need to do more of it cos i quite enjoy it. whats especially pleasing is that its really simple with very little PP required. switch colours, steep L&C and thats pretty much it. just like the lifepixel tutorial says. i've yet to have the issues of magenta creeping into the whites, thats obviously luck. lol

You still have to show me this IR D60.....I have grown too attached to mine to get it converted...maybe a Mountain Banyan pre-converted one off ebay is the way to go for me
