very cool...i love IR and this is a great one...i also have a D100 and was told by Nikon that I couldn't use the D100 for IR photography...can you tell me how you accomplished this....thanks #118819Deborah Sandidge April 18, 2004
Thanks, Cathy! I used a tripod, composed & focused the image first, then attached a Hoya R72 filter, and did several shots between 1 and 3 seconds. I tried several different exposures to see what would work best. Although I'm still learning IR, if I can you, please let me know!Darren K. Fisher April 18, 2004
The only word I can find for this image is WOW and this is not any where close to justice for the beauty you have captured. The IR for this composition was one excellent choice. #490579Deborah Sandidge April 18, 2004
PS... in Photoshop, I desaturated the image, applied auto levels and used unsharp mask. (I'm not that knowledgeable with PS, there may be better ways to do this.) #490596Deborah Sandidge April 18, 2004
Thank you for your kind words Darren! #490604bob cornelison April 18, 2004

vey nice! #490857Carolyn J. Connolly April 19, 2004
What a gorgeous photograph Deborah! I love the monochrome, IR and buZZ treatment...and whatever else you've done to this shot - it has given your 'Hidden Bridge' image a dreamlike appearance! The composition is really great, and so are the reflections... VERY well done! #491772Carolyn J. Connolly April 19, 2004
PS - Deborah, I forgot to tell you that this shot of yours looks like a lovely painting! I hope you have it framed and hanging on your wall!! #491788Deborah Sandidge April 19, 2004
Thank you Bob, Kristen and Carolyn! I'm so pleased you like this infrared shot! This was taken about a month ago, but I was undecided about entering it. After the addition of the simplifier, it seemed to be complete! #491939Colette M. Metcalf May 14, 2004
Congrats Deborah!!! #537115Deborah Sandidge May 14, 2004
