Inspired by Andy

GREAPER

I know these are not as interesting as some of the shots in Andy's gallery but I liked his stuff so much that I went on a quest to get the ability to take them myself today.

I had to go out and use the filter when I got it, just to try it out.

Wow, i wouldn't say you're new to this; looks great! I like this one the best..the whites work the best in my opinion with a real black part to balance it. Nice!

Andy

cool, greaps!
happy you got inspired by my stuff

was it very sunny? looks like more overcast, eh? with ir, you've gotta really take advantage of midday, full sun when you find it. i find those to be optimal conditions.

what filter are you using, and what camera / setup?

It was kind of cloudy with patchy sun, I just had to get out and try it.

I used a cokin 89B gelatin filter (P007 is their number) on a sigma 28-80 mm lens. The were all shot with my D100. I was surprised to find that the camera's meter was accurate and that the autofocus worked even with the filter on. I couldn't see through it but the camera could.
