Three Steps To Stubbsy

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Leigh

These came out even better than they looked on the back of the camera. I'm getting worried that I'm starting to like your 'experimental' shots :wink: PS for those who don't know - Leigh took these using a Nikkor 10.5 fisheye lens on the camera while a 52mm IR filter was held in front of the lens. Nice effect eh.

There was definitely a bit of filter fun going on that day, which was cool to see :) Hopefully it'll start me thinking a little "out of the box" too.

Did anyone try the fisheye in conjunction with Craig's funky "reversed teleconverter" trick? THAT would have been a sight to see....

Steffan, your right that would of been excellent to try... but alas we didn't think of that... perhaps next Saturday we can give that a go... and post the results....

I've been looking on the net for IR filters and other methods of distorting / modifying the image.

There are two other types of non-red cast IR filters I've seen, but BH are the only place I know of who have them and I'll wait 'till I have some money lying around to bring them in.

I'll make sure to bring them in at 52mm so this effect works, too. :lol:

Cheers for the comments, all.

What strikes me the most is just how many stops of light are lost due to the IR filter. But even so, there are still fringe foliage details in the periphery that were captured. That D70 sensor's latitude is no slouch!

Has Peter lost weight? ;) ;) ;)

Really like these Leigh - which I, like Peter, find somewhat disturbing. One of your best 'experimental' (?) series to date :)
