Hi Tom,Truth be told Dave, I sought out the hard, directional light of sunset to bring out the textures of the grain and the shapes of the hills. I think the harshness you refer to is more a consequence of my processing as noted by Will. Unfortunately for me, it was very hazy that evening and I was committed to using long lenses, which just exacerbate the lack of contrast. I concentrated on restoring contrast to the scene and went too far.
If that 1st image is to be salvaged, I think a slight crop on top and the lower third will retain the interesting textures.
It's lovely Tim!IQ260 Achro with IR pass filter on Alpa STC with Rodie 40HR... kinda fun shooting.
Yes, Rogers, AR.. I want to hit the waterfalls this year. We will probablyhave a great fall with all the rain we had so far..Fantastic! Now you are in my stomping ground. Do you live in NW Arkansas?
Thank you, and thanks to all for the 'likes'...It's lovely Tim!
Achro :bugeyes: .... (covers ears)Thank you, and thanks to all for the 'likes'...
I took this whilst shooting the Achro and the regular 260 for a review I was writing. It was not an easy shot: focussing for IR work, especially when using movements as in this shot, is not a walk in the park... but what a fascinating piece of equipment the Achro is...
Great follow up story in on landscape magazine.IQ260 Achro with IR pass filter on Alpa STC with Rodie 40HR... kinda fun shooting.
Thank you, I am glad you liked it. It's always hard to know how much detail to into and I could have written an entire book ofnthe 260 and Achromatic so I hope I got the balance right!Great follow up story in on landscape magazine.
I would say you did. I have been considering the achromatic myself. I think it holds great promise for someone who does exclusively B&W in large prints. I could see someone like Clyde Butcher doing great work with it. For someone like me who sells less than 5% B&W it would be an indulgence play but still tempting.... I hope I got the balance right!
