Hmm very interesting color. You say infrared, was it a special filter or lens of some kind?

with film cameras it's usually a special film that is more sensitive to infrared light.

Thank you. I use a Hoya R72 filter on a standard lens.

The factory in the background makes for more interesting composition. Old cemetaries are really nice, especially in the fall.

I plan to revisit this cemetery when I have time to explore the mill. Its a good 5.5hr trip for me, so it won't be a frequented trip. :) I am interested to see how trees come out in the fall though through IR, with the absence of chlorophyll.

The berries were delicious ^.^

Hehe, no worries. :) Thank you! Most infrared rolls of film are more b/w ish, but some will provide color for work in the darkroom. With digital, your white balance is sort of the chemical processing with infrared. If you just put on a filter and shoot, you'll get a fully red image lacking any other color or real detail. You need to adjust your camera to get the results you'd like. Right now, I have mine set so it ignores the red, and grass / trees / plant life are actually almost green. There will always be some form of post processing required with color infrared (for results of this nature, mind you), but its just part of the learning curve. :)

Thank you again! I'm very happy with this photo, and this was shot back before I really knew what I was doing with IR. I think I may have gotten lucky. On that note, it was a 2 hour drive one way, and I was already 7 hours away from home, so I think I cashed in some of my luck for this. ;)

I can totaly imagine an iron dragon of some sort flying in the sky.
The IR filter really adds a ser'real appearence. Its almost like it was CG created and not photographed. Its almost as if its in another world.
On a side note though, I'd like to see what the actual color of this would look like. Though I'm sure it takes away from the intrest. >_<
Anyway, fabulous as always! ^_~

The color without infrared, or before my post edit? It was just your standard blue sky with clouds, black industrial complex, and some trees. Before post edit, almost completely red. Not appealing at all. *grins*

I'll keep my eye out for dragons. ;) And thank you!

That is a really pretty photo. =] Very excellent capture, the view and just the plain picture are quite remarkable. ^^

Thank you! :)

That is an awesome picture! Thank you for sharing it! Just..wow..amazing work!

Thank you. Probably still one of my own favorites. :) I got lucky on this one I think.

wow that is just stunning! The trees make it look as though there are two skys filled with clouds! Simply stunning work!

Thank you. Infrared can do some amazing things. ;)

IR?, For the life of me I can't find color IR film. or is this shooting IR with a digital slr?

Yup! I shot this with a digital SLR using a Hoya R72. Kodak produces false color IR film. Do you shoot 35mm?

Yep I shoot with a Minolta SRT 201, A Pentax ME Super, a Minolta Maxxium 7000i, and a Miniolta X-570 I will be upgrading to a Kiev 88 CM MLU Medium format some time this summer!
Can't wait, I will also be gettin my paws on a rebel EOS XT DSLR for 300$ before the Kiev ^.^

Wow, quite a collection. And the Rebel XT's are dropping in price heavily do to the release of the XTi. $300 is still a great price, and the XT is a great camera for the Canon digital market. I'd suggets getting a Hoya for that camera when you do pick it up, and go digital IR. You'll learn an awful lot with a media that can be formatted and retaken on the spot, and save money on roll after roll of film you can use once you've learned the technique. :)

Keep in touch. I haven't seen you online.

I'm useually online around 5ish to like 11pm

This is STUNNING. As is pretty much your entire gallery. Bucketfulls of inspiration. DAMN.

Wow, thanks man!

Most welcome, most welcome! It's totally earned. You're a damn good shooter.

Dunno how I missed this one before...this is such a gorgeous contrast. I don't even remotely know how you find these places...it's like a totally different world.

This is in PA, which is close enough to a different world, depending which part you're in. ;)

very interisting combination =3

Thank you. :)

That brings up a lot of inner emotions. Thank you for posting it.

Thank you for commenting!!

I thought this had to be some kind of edit job. This place is astonishing dude, and so is your aim.

Well, it is, but not in the sense that I changed any colors. I swapped to a blue color channel from red, and the rest sort of fell into place. This was long before I understood how to work well with infrared light.

And thanks! That huge steel mill in the background is currently being taken down to be a new casino. Gotta love how history is plowed over for penny slots.

This is incredibly intense. good shot. This one may end up framed on my wall, if you dont mind.
Later,
Jack

You know I don't mind. :) I'm happy to see my work anywhere. Let me know!

nice Trees!
