Here is an interesting set I took just yesterday downtown. Lots of people and 1st Friday of every month, there's lots to see and shoot. Did these in IR (shown-as-shot), enjoy. :lust

    Not fond of the PP, myself, for most. Too distracting.

    Nice series, otherwise. I like #2, also! thumb.gif

    Hey Mr. P.,

    I don't know anything at all about IR shooting and processing, but there are some nice frames here, especially 2, 5, and 11. (I numbered them for you). The colors are weird compared to what we usually see here. I think they work best in 2, but 11 would look better in normal B&W.

    Thanks for the comments. There is no post-processing, as I stated in the initial post it is shown-as-shot from the camera (with a custom white balance). :)

    I thought it was interesting the way some colors were still able to go through the filter thus left the images unprocessed. It's not for everyone that's for sure.

    Thanks for numbering them, that will probably help a lot in discerning which is which.

    #2 & #11 stand out for me, especially #2.

    There are probably some interesting images in here, but between the very weird color and the huge watermark, I'm too distracted by the feeling that I'm looking at a group of strange Vodka ads to really assess the images.mwink.gif

    I forgot to add that these images are best viewed inebriated. rolleyes1.gif

    Nice set.

    Curious, do any of the street vendors ask for money when you shoot their photo? I live in LA and when shooting in Santa Monica, Venice or along the other beach cities many/most times I receive no cooperation unless money is involved. So you really have to get them when they're not looking.

    Thanks
