Thank you for your comments, Jay. When a camera is converted to infrared it is permanent. A lot of people get their old cameras converted though you can purchase converted cameras from sites that convert cameras.With a converted camera, you can see your subject clearly thru the viewfinder. You can purchase a filter that can be placed over your lens without getting your camera converted but it is very difficult to see thru the lens. |

This image is all about tranquility...such a peaceful scene. There is so much to see in this image from the 5-odd petals whose petals and curvatures are filled with lines and colors of lavender and greenish-white with a crown of yellow sepals that harmonize with the two tones of green in the background. Putting the background out of focus creates a focal point on the foreground Wild Geranium. The out of focus Wild Geranium in the background adds a nice touch and completes this scene. Well done Trey. Good luck with your book. |

A very peaceful and calm image. If the clouds aren't moving very vast, it's hard to get the desired motion you want. I would encourage you to try taking long term exposures when there's more movement in the sky. I have a 5 and 10 stop neutral density filters using them separately and together to get different effects. It really depends on how much softness you want in a scene, time of day, etc. as to which ND filter you use. Some of the comments made previously by others would really enhance this image. Peaceful and calm images hanging on the wall are soothing to the soul. Now that you are retired, take out your camera (with tripod!) late in the day (or whenever) and take a series of images starting with 1/15 to 30 seconds then take your neutral density filters with the different stops and take images . Download the images to your computer to see and study the effects each stop and neutral density filters makes on a particular scene. Good luck and I look forward to seeing some more of your images from your vacation. |

Thank you for your thoughtful and in-depth comments on my image. Your comments are really helpful. I always feel when I'm done with an image that it lacks something and could be better in post processing. To address that I recently took a 5-day seminar (8 classes a day) on the foundations of PS. So, with your positive comments and the PS foundation seminar, this should really help me how to see aspects of this image (and others) that needs improvement. I'm going to copy what you wrote and work on the above image to enhance its potential. PS: Can't believe I missed the dust spots on the image! |

Gordon, you are quite right. I did submit the wrong infrared (original) image...my mistake. I took several infrared images that day. As to the sky I did take it down a bit but was afraid to make it even darker because I wasn't sure if it would look good but I do like the way you darken the sky more. I shall try to make the sky darker. Infrared does ten to make the whites brighter but in your image the whites look really nice. I never thought of using a graduating neutral filter with infrared. That probably should work ok. Thank you for taking the time to work on my image |

The image was shot with a camera that was converted to infrared. The original color on this infrared image is red. After import, the image is converted to B/W. |
