That first shot is terrific, Seng. I love the mood.

I like the third one, too. To my eye, the last is perhaps too conventionally framed for the abstraction of your IR technique. Looks to me as if it would have been very fine in regular black and white. Now, if you'd pointed your lens in among those lovely dark-limbed trees at the right there ...

Very nice series - especially like the second to last - reminds me of some old shot from one of the masters. I'm getting older and memory fades..

The first two are kind of dark (especially the first one) but I thought the third was more etherial than dark... I think you are expanding, not contracting.

No Seng, your not losing it. Each of these images are very expressive and the essay is very telling of strong and deep rooted emotions.

Sandy and I have you in our thoughts often be well and hope to see you again soon.

Hi Carl...if you think your memory is bad now...wait a few more decades and then you will have more fun trying to remember...

Thank you Norm...may be something much cooler trek on your neck of the wood next year, so I won't be tempted to do Mars things.

Hi David...Glad you like it...I do like to get those dark, doom and gloom mood...but sometime I keep coming back to the bright snow white of IR leaves that I like so much...thank you for the suggestion, if I ever get back out there, I will try more of the limbs.

Not losing it, IMO. These photos are delicious, perfect subjects for IR IMO and I like the warm tone. BTW, I picked up a copy of the book you mentioned in another thread, "On Digital Photography", by Stephen Johnson. IMO it's a very interesting book, well written, by a knowledgeable author. Thanks very much for calling attention to it. I've made a lot of notes while reading it and can't wait to try a few things out when I get my SD14 back from service dept.

I have some IR work here

Hi John,

I looked at your IR gallery...I love it, many many nice ones and so glad to see more IR enthusiasms. Also glad to find the book interesting and useful. He is also a very good teacher, makes things simple to understand.
Hope your SD14 backs soon.
