Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Maya. I think infrared film creates some ethereal effects. . .and some could be a little haunting. Appreciate your comment.
I loove infrared! it's a blast to shoot.
Very good picture!
Artist Reply: Thank you for your comment, Mike. Sure wish I shot more of it. I may have to load a roll into one of my old SLRs and do some shooting next weekend. Appreciate your encouragement.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Christina. Yes, it is in fact black & white infrared film. I love the effects achievable in summertime photos. I miss using it a lot and may have to dust off one of my old SLRs. Thanks for stopping to take a look.
Wow, what a dynamic image. If ever one could say a photograph has a soul this shot would be proof of that! I hope I am not being too cryptic in my comment.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Stanton. I know exactly what you mean. The infrared film takes us into another realm. . .and it can be rather spiritual. I'm glad you stopped by to take a look. I appreciate your feedback very much.
This is gorgeous... on my fav list & pic of the day... black & white with light and contrast so well placed... wonderful!
Artist Reply: Thank you so much, Kim. Pic of the Day has certainly attracted many additional views. I appreciate your comments and your wonderful gesture.
Wonderful picture! WOW! The B&W makes it less cozy than a colored picture -- more like a great memory according to me, but I love it! --Love and Light, OLGA
Artist Reply: Yes, the white foliage often gives the impression of snow, so infrared isn't very warm. Perhaps I will see what it looks like with sepia tones. It could be interesting to compare. Thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts, Olga. I appreciate your feedback.
Beautiful! I love the use of the infrared with the foliage.
Artist Reply: Thank you Ennid. I used to love venturing out with infrared film, especially in the summertime. Certainly wish I shot more of it. Thanks for stopping by.
Artist Reply: You're too kind. I do aspire to be, for sure. I'm glad to have had a lot of darkroom experience in the "old days." Although I didn't make any adjustments to this image, I like the new and unlimited capabilities I have with the computer today. It's exciting to be able to take some old shots out of the trash can and make them into images worthy of displaying on AW. Thank you for your encouragement. I appreciate your comment.
