    Hi Dani,
    I always like looking at your IR shots. I like the comps and I tend to prefer higher contrast shots, but I think you pushed the highlights a bit too far. Could be my monitor, but there are a lot of blown highlights in the trees, clouds and grass.

    Thanks for sharing your "typical" Oklahoma backroads. Did you stop for some petrol at the oil pump:D?

    Payback is only fair.rolleyes1.gif Ya gota have something.
    Sorry AJ and yes no sag in that suspension. Nice car. But kinda a light load.

    I like the first one best. I do have a problem with the big cloud and black space at the top, once
    my eyes go there I can't get back to the lovely lower section. To me the big upper cloud and black
    void is to overwhelming. In the second one I think the large sky area works because it adds to the
    vase open expansiveness of the area. And it's interesting to look at. Two beautiful IR's.
    Thanks for sharing,

    Hi Dani,
    You are right. It looks much better on my home system. I had a melt down at work on my system there and I haven't been able to get the settings right yet.
    And what's wrong with the shot of you using the car properly. An auto's use is for getting from one shoot to the other and as a tripod and stepping stool if a proper one is not available:D. Just don't show that shot at your TT club, they'd cringe.
