Re: Fw: GESO - Monuments and Memorials, Washington DC

2011-06-20 Thread Mark Cassino
Thanks, Boris. The IR effect tends to  make things look otherworldly, I suppose 
because the image is form from light outside the visible spectrum and it 
is different form what we see but similar enough to create an eerie sensation. 
Since IR is actually photographing heat and not visible light, I figured it 
would be ideal for Washington where there is usually more heat than light 
anyhow...

Thanks -

I've a feeling of spookiness looking at these images, Mark. Don't why, but I 
felt intimidated.

I visited Washington DC last March and took a few snapshots of the various
monuments, memorials, and other landmarks. Camera of choice was an IR
converted K-10d.

The weather did not cooperate much. I had a day to myself while my wife was in a


conference, and I used it to walk around the mall. A clear and sunny morning
devolved into a cloudy day with cold misty rain. I took some shots of the
Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. The final images were so flat I
'hand painted' them in photo shop to give them a little life. Sloppy work on the


hand painting if I say so myself.

Washington Monument:

Lincoln Memorial:

http://www.calarti.com/peso/m&m/3-IMGP0886.jpg

The US Capitol was way back lit in the early morning when the skies were clear.
I


took gobs of shots and bracketed like mad, thinking I should find some HDR
software and try to do something useful with the images. I would up getting
Photomatix and, of course, went for the extreme grunge look on the first try:

US Capitol HDR / IR:

http://www.calarti.com/peso/m&m/2-IMGP1236_tu1.jpg

I paint what I see... OK - a more subtle approach, again HRD / IR and BW -

A couple of plain IR shots processed through the Photomatix software with the
red / blue channel swap - ""Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty" a.k.a.

I like these, Mark!  I especially like the IR shots--that eternal vigilance 
is lovely.  Cheers, Christine

I visited Washington DC last March and took a few snapshots of the various
monuments, memorials, and other landmarks. Camera of choice was an IR
converted K-10d.

The weather did not cooperate much. I had a day to myself while my wife was 
in a



conference, and I used it to walk around the mall. A clear and sunny morning
devolved into a cloudy day with cold misty rain. I took some shots of the
Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. The final images were so flat 
I
'hand painted' them in photo shop to give them a little life. Sloppy work on 
the



hand painting if I say so myself.

Lincoln Memorial:

http://www.calarti.com/peso/m&m/3-IMGP0886.jpg

The US Capitol was way back lit in the early morning when the skies were 
clear.

I


took gobs of shots and bracketed like mad, thinking I should find some HDR
software and try to do something useful with the images. I would up getting
Photomatix and, of course, went for the extreme grunge look on the first 
try:
