9/6/2010 - New Infrareds from Skylands





There was incredible light today for infrareds. Nice bright clear day with strong light works best for these photos.
I went back to Skylands to fine tune some compositions I had already photographed and take advantage of being there at the right time of day.
I look forward to shooting this kind of stuff in Italy in a few weeks. Just wonder how I will get all those people out of my shots in the middle of the day. I may have to get used to the idea of people as part of the composition.

Keep Makin' Art!

Wow, wow, wow Carl - These are excellent photos. Have you shown any of these in a gallery? Again, superb work.

Hi Janice - I have a few in a bin in mats at the gallery I am in to start with. I want to put together some more and hope to get a bunch while I am in Italy. I am trying to put together a pre holiday weekend sale with a photographer friend of mine. We have a lot of the same stuff so I want display the IR at that show. Once back from Italy I was considering a book of images and and how to's on digital IR as well.

Thanks again for the kind words!

Hi Victoria-
Tomorrow is supposed to be great enjoy. I can't wait to see what you shoot. Ringwood manor is across the road from Skylands and is another great spot. Let me know if you have any ?? I'd be out there too, but I am booked tomorrow. I hope to be in the studio painting Sunday!
