Description

F4; 2sec. @ ISO 100. Olympus Camedia 4000 Zoom + Tripod + Hoya R72 Infrared Filter
location: Woods around Wolfner Mühle, Erzgebirge, Germany. date: May 22th, 2005

Yes, I am back. And yes, I've been photographing trees again. Don't hurt me. *ducks and hides*
Sorry for being so silent again, had some kind of personal crisis connected with my exams. Elite Andrzej and Elite, GFXartist sponsor Dax ... thank you so much for your words!

Anyway, I tried to refresh my creativity by learning a new technique. What you see above is infrared photography. The Filter blocks light below 695 nm wavelength. That's why plants appear white (called the "wood effect";). The upper photo is COMPLETELY UNALTERED save for automatic level adaption, the lower was altered by exchanging red and blue channel to regain a more natural sky color (a common effect used by IR photographers).
For general info about the technique visit this website.

Expect more of that madness, this is just an introduction... hehehe.

Well done Daniela. The composition and colors are beautiful. The exposure is perfect. The highlights have nice texture and the shadows are not too dark. I especially like the top photo using infrared technique. A beautiful scene indeed! It's nice to have you back!

Very interesting. Kind of looks like a snowlandscape.
Would dressed people appear naked in a photography taken with this filter? Errm... just curious.
