July 7th, 2008 at 1:24 amI forgot to post but this area is being invaded by the Pine Beetle in the Rocky Mountains in Canada. Many of the pines in this area have been and will be lost. It will be very sad to see them go.

July 7th, 2008 at 6:13 amExquisite B&W landscape with that IR Look that gives the surreal feel to the shots. Really like the Whimsical shape of the tree.
How did you convert to the IR? -

July 7th, 2008 at 7:55 amThis is a spectacular composition combined with a tremendous tonal range. Please tell us what you used for the IR treatment, if you will. This is gorgeous! Thank you for posting this beautiful image of Nature!

July 7th, 2008 at 8:52 amThe sky looks like brush strokes, and I like the stripes on the mountains.

July 7th, 2008 at 11:39 amNot being a photographer (what’s IR, anyway?) I’d like to think of this as a photo taken at night under the light of a full (silvery?) moon. It is beautiful indeed, but I’d would have to wait for the light of day to see the landscape in its full splendor.

July 7th, 2008 at 12:09 pmThe shot is 10:41am September 28 and the stripes on the mountains are caused by snow. The Sony DSCR828 takes infrared but only at night so I use two 3 stop neutral density filters to fool it into working during the day. I use Photoshop to delete the blue channel and then convert it into monochrome and adjust the levels to get a full contrast range.

Eileen Says:
July 7th, 2008 at 3:59 pmP.S. Does anyone use real film like I do, or has everyone gone to digital? I am still a realist! EZ

July 7th, 2008 at 8:42 pmlovely image. those are some gneiss (nice) mountains.
Do you know–looks like gneiss. Anyhow, a great photo, and I really like the tonality and composition of this image. I too would love to hear something about how you do your conversion.

July 7th, 2008 at 9:31 pmThe wavering sky, the fallen tree, gives this a mysterious look. It’s a fantastic shot.Great Job!

Ellie Says:
July 7th, 2008 at 9:44 pmThis is stunning in seeing it, capture, composition and processing….kudos to you, Jim!
Creativity appears in all mediums of art and I have discovered so many creative geniuses out there combining tons of knowledge, (photography must be learned in a realist, purist form-itself) then carried out with creative, artistic and technical know-how. I belive that to be somewhat the same thing Ansel Adams did, underexposing the skies, burning and dodging….photography is adjusting the image for what he/she desires the second the photog adjusts the camera for the shot!
Great work. -

July 7th, 2008 at 10:56 pmThere is nothing like a GREAT B&W to me! Ellie, you said everything I was going to say. Kudos to YOU Jim. In my estimation, anyone who can photograph like Ansel Adams, is quite accomplished!

July 8th, 2008 at 1:14 amI visited your web gallery. You have some amazing shots!! The infrared shots are awesome. I am impressed with how you do it. There are companies who will convert digital cameras to infrared. But, it sounds as though your camera has the ability to shoot infrared, but, only at night. The use of filters to trick it into letting you shoot the infrared during the day, is very smart. Great Job!!! -Lisa
