IR Flowers

Since IR is all so new to me I was quite surprised when I went to take a couple of pics of some flowers I bought my wife. I took this around 10:00 at night. Lighting was incandescent over the counter. I set my camera for what I thought was the correct exposure according to my meter, 1/20 @ f2.8 and totally blew the photo out. To my surprise I finally got this at 1/200@f2.8. I think I'm going to have fun learning IR.

    I really like this shot. I am very surprised at the DOF you achieved at f/2.8. The detail is awesome. thumb.gif

    Lovely! You've got good contrast and texture, comp works as well. The jet black background might be something I'd consider changing, but that might just be me - I think it's a bit too common these days.

    Good work thumb.gif
    Creativity's hard.

    I didn't change any color. Just added a bit of contrast and saturation and processed to B&W. I'm really surprised at the way the back ground is black as the kitchen cabinets are white and the counters are a granite grey. Guess it's just the way IR takes in the color.

    Thanks! I shot this using my Tokina 11-16, f2.8 lens. I was probably 12" from the flowers taking this pic.

    Also, I would love to have the skill a good florist has at putting such
    lovely arrangements together.

    Great work. I've got a IR-converted D70s, too!
