I R trials

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.

Not much going on so I thought I'd post some trials from today. What do you think?

I set the WB on the sky instead of the green bag that I normally have in my car. The look is different.

WOW, look at the snow !!!

You could think that there is heaps of snow in these images.
Trees and ground are covered in snow !
(must be my European heritage, I always get confused when Christmas
is in summer.)

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

They are very good. A white xmas in Campbelltown. I love your "blue" treatment and am interested in how you do that.

Good IR examples, they always make me think of snow too...

The bits of really dark sky in the first make me think it's like some sort of midnight image, really catching...

Not sure about the blue colored one, be interesting though to try the various hues when colorizing (or what-ever effect is)...

Thanks for the comments. Matt, I first do "autolevel" then I use the channel mixer to keep the blue in the sky (Red channel: red=0/blue=100 - Blue channel: red=100/blue=0 ), that is if you set the WB on some green stuff, then in the "Hue/Saturation" I remove the red and magenta.
Cheers,
Gerard

Gerard. These are good, but I really like the first one most. Is the IR filter a new toy from Santa?

The first one is nice.

I think you need more contrast in the other two...

Stubbsy,
I have had this filter for a while, that was for the Christmas in June,or the one in July.
Leigh,
I have to work out how to use the different channels because as it is, if I try and get more contrast, I blow the highlights.
Thanks all for the comments,
Cheers,
Gerard

They're nice, but the first two have too much contrast and the highlights are overexposed. I find the blocks of white distracting.

(I was posting this after Leigh's comment, but when editing this I see some similar comments in the time since.)

It's nice to see some more folk experimenting with IR! :)
