Yard Deco...

[Amy Nelson]

This is a shot of one of the yards in my area. I was driving by and just thought it looked so quaint, so I had to stop and share it.

You have composed this shot to perfection and your IR is prefect for this scene. Good job.

I like the state of decay in this yard decoration. Works quite well in IR.

 

[Kurt Harrigan]

Great shot, Amy! I might be inclined to drop the highlights and pull the shadows a bit more.

 

[Kurt Harrigan]

But I've never done IR so I'm not sure how that plays out......

Very nice Amy. Looks like a made for IR scene. The tones look good to me. I might however be incline to add a bit of vignette to being the attention to the central part of the image.

I love this and an old time vibe to it!!

Kurt, thanks for your comments. I have attached the start converted image. I wanted to include this so you could see the difference. After I put a B/W Gradient on it, I also did some dodging in the shadow area. And add a square vignette as Jameel had suggested in his comment. I tried not to push it too far for fare of losing details and becoming too dark.

Very cool IR Amy! I like both of these, you made good use of your neighbors yard!

I have not had time to shoot anymore IR the last few weeks, I need to find something I can shoot in IR.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Nice work on both.
