Thanks Godders. I debated whether I ought to frame up a bit, but the
imposing pier felt best in the viewfinder. Of course, when shooting
with the IR filter, what you see in the viewfinder isn't what you get
:-).

When you're working in IR, you're seeing a scene with light that human
eyes generally cannot see. It is often other-worldy, removed from life
as we know it.
I like this scene, although I feel the landing at the bottom is a
little too much of the composition. The composition is unsettling: the
interaction of the light and the dynamics have an oppressive stillness
to them, a brooding quiet.
Well done.

I agree. I do find that there is a sense of mystery about IR shots,
particularly those taken in winter with no leaves on the tree. With
the light foliage that the method produces in warmer months, the
effect may be different.

Hi!
I set a new personal record for filter extravagance and bought an
77mm R72 for my DA 12-24/4. Shot a little pond this morning. It's
at 12mm, f11, 4 second exposure.

Paul this is beautiful yet there is some unsettling quality about
it... The word "liveless" comes to mind. Not as derogatory term, but
rather as a description of what I feel when looking at your recent
IR work. It seems that IR filtration makes the light so unusual for
regular/plain human eye that the outcome seems devoid of life...
I wonder if you think similarly or it is just my (sick) mind...
