PotW 10 June 2008

Postby Greg B on Mon Jun 09, 2008 9:51 pm

The PotW this week is from robw25 in Whyalla.

Rob has converted his D70 to IR, and the resulting shots are very impressive, particularly
if you like IR - which I do.

There are three shots in Rob's thread (see it here), and I would usually be drawn to the
wide angle shot (#3), but I particularly like this one.

Everything works for me. Great work Rob and a very worthy PotW.

Rob, this is the exact reason I wanted you to post them - when you showed me Saturday night I thought you were well and truly on to a winner with this set. Congratulations, you deserve it.

excellent choice of setting for this style Rob - the Torrens has never looked so good!

Does the IR work as well in the red dust of Whyalla????
