Centennial Park in 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.

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.

As an early Birthday present, I was lucky enough to receive some excellent new toys: a Cokin P filter holder, some grad ND filters, and a Cokin 89B IR filter (equivalent transmission to the common Hoya R72 as I understand). Someone knows me well 8)

C&C appreciated, particularly in regard to the processing of images. All were shot with the Tokina 12-24, which I now know has a big IR hotspot in the centre top of the frame. Many thanks to DaveB for the PS action on his website.

I like number one Patrick. B&W lends something to it.

I love the last shot! I can see why you took it. I guess you are using the D70 fore these? Even though I'm yet to try it I believe the D200 has even less sensitivity to IR light than the D70. Pity.

Cheers Colin and Matt.

These were shot with a D70, and I've heard the same thing about D200s. Next time I'm shooting IR I will use higher ISOs more often, long shutter speeds can be difficult to work with, especially on a windy day.

#3 is sublime - done with DaveB's PS action I guess.

Well done!
My favourite's probably out of the 3rd/4th: the colours in the 2nd are a bit too disturbing even for me! :lol:

I'm glad the action's been useful: it was always intended as a starting point for people's experiments.
