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.

Forum rules
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.

Any explanatory comment on your part? Lens etc

It is a nice effect from the viewers perspective.

which ir filter

Postby vrboy on Sun Aug 14, 2005 12:53 am

Hi which ir filter and lens were you using? I also just thought of something interesting have you ever used a polarizing filter with the ir filter?
I wonder what effect it would have?

Dark Bands? Why don't you try to crop some of that IR shot and focus on the animal in the foreground to centre the image?

The photo was taken on a Sony F717 in 'nightshot' mode. This enables you to see what you are taking rather than shooting blind. I use a Hoya R72 filter with either a ND4, or ND8 to cut down the light levels a little more. A maximum shutter speed of 1/60s is required in the nightshot shootiing mode. For best results of the IR effect you need strong sunlight. Vegetation, rich blue skys, clouds, and skin are all good subjects to try and include in a IR shot.

The photos produced in nigthshot mode come out with a horrible green cast as in nightsights, this is removed in PP and then the contrast is adjusted.
