I’ve decided that shooting at night is much better when the sky is filled with fog or clouds. Without them to reflect the ground-based lights, the sky is just a black hole. With the relatively bright background, however, the shapes of the buildings and everything else are well defined without the distractions of other buildings in the background.

It's a really interesting effect almost a natural vignette.

I loved the way that the light played on the ripples in the wet sand.

Sadly the small file size allowed on here doesn't do much for quality of the picture.
 
I shot a few nighttime photos of this girl last year and we had been planning ever since on another photo shoot. We finally got the chance when I found out about a nice little warehouse with these windows that let in fantastic light late in the day.

Yep. That's all the light I used. There was another window behind her on the right and it filled in the shadows nicely.

It looks lit by those soft, studio lights.

You still traveling the country? Or are you back home?

How is your health?

Im going to rumage about for some pictures I took that I thought would make a nice setting for your photography mine are simply taken with an 8 megapixel camera phone and obviously less than professional.

Not traveling the country. Not yet. Still working on my motorhome. Since I had to get a regular job to pay bills, the motorhome conversion is taking even longer.

My health is fine. Thank you for asking. My next checkup is in May and it would be nice to have at least one peek inside my bladder and find no new tumors. (Fingers crossed.)

I'm so glad to see this thread is still kicking... I'll upload some shots soon.

Thank you! I’d like to say it’s hard to take a bad photo of such a beautiful woman, but I’ve seen some photos she posed for with another photographer and ... well ... I guess it’s not impossible. :rolleyes:
 
The composition isn't great. I was shooting these mostly to document what was here, not for the photo itself. Would be a GREAT location to bring a model to.

Yesterday, in addition to the new self nudes I posted on my thread (<--shameless self-promotion), I made a few images of one of my favorite trees here in Ocala.

Right down the street from where I live is a park with a beautiful oak tree a half-mile hike from the parking lot. I went prepared with a tripod and both cameras (normal and infrared) and these are some results.

This is my first attempt at High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography. With the camera securely locked onto the tripod, I made four bracketed exposures over a four-stop range. On the computer, I used special software to merge these images into a single photograph with what is supposed to be well balanced tones throughout. In just about every "HDR-style" photo I've seen on the internet, this technique is overused, surreal, and hideous instead of natural. I think I managed to get a good balance without looking strange.

It's been almost two years since I had my backup camera converted to IR-only use and that's far too long for any tool to go unused. The difficulty when shooting IR with a modern camera is the lens barrel doesn't have any markings for use with IR film. Infrared light doesn't hit the focal plane like visible light, so when you focus through the lens or with a camera's autofocus system, the IR image will be slightly out of focus. In the old days, most lenses had a red dot or some other means of seeing where you should line up the focus distance when using IR film, but now a photographer must carefully guess where the focus should be, checking with the preview screen after the exposure is made.

I would love to use my wide angle lens for IR work, but the other problem with modern equipment is the paints used on the inside of the lens are no longer made to absorb IR light, so most lenses exhibit a central hot spot in the image due to all the IR light bouncing around inside the lens. The lens I used here shows only a small amount of this defect and it's easily corrected in post-processing—my wide zoom has so many lens elements and groups that it gets a little crazy with uneven exposure values.
