First IR post

[Blackgoddess]

Hey bros & sis!,
I've been mucking around this IR forum and finally got around to process some shots i took in Europe. At that time, still very new to IR and did NOT do any Custom white balance or anything like that. All i did was shot in Raw and twiddle in Elements and convert to Black & white as i thought that's the only best looking solution. Can these be considered as "real" IR? I'm using a Cokin P007 on a 50D body with 18-200 lens. I read that the camera body & lens are not the best for IR but since i've took the photos, hope you can comment on them. THanks!

Duomo in Milan

Colosseum in Rome

Monte Rosa from Gornergrat Hotel

Another shot of Monte Rosa

All these were using around 30 sec exposure...Did i do it correctly?:sweat:

Good objects make a goot picture .
What a beautiful Rome!
But because you were using front IR filter and exposure time about 30s, make a people movement (on the bottom of picture 1&2) a bit distracting..but maybe some people like it that way, IMHO.
Keep shooting!
send us more !

Very nice B&W IR :thumbsup:

blurred people movement adds to the mood... DARK GOTHIC... i like!

Feel like Batman's Gothham City.

Do post more of your shots.

Cheers

Hey SurrealDreamWalker, Thanks for your thumbsup! i was just lucky to be able to get the shots and then after converting to black & white it turned out like that! I hope to be able to take more.

Thanks Mickey76! ya...i also feel the movement of people may seems a bit distracting cos of the blurred images of them. Boh pian have to use long exposure. Hope to get a converted 2nd hand camera though...
