[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A coastal scene from atop a cliff on the North Maui coast. The dried branches where a stark white, and really stood out against the blue water and sky. I took a few shots with my regular camera, but decided to try an IR shot as well. I liked the IR version because it accentued the white against blue a bit more.

Hi Vincemt,
another shot with your unique atmosphere caught in it! I love this effect! The white branches agains the dark background work really well and the whole thing has a certain ethereal feel to it..great stuff, well done.

The blue atmosphere makes the photo very cool with the white colour branches.

Thanks for sharing,

Very eerie, other-worldly image thanks to the IR
But the composition is also very fine - nicely off-centre

I think this is one of your most impressive IR shots. (The 450D?) The light quality and stark whiteness of the branches against the blues of the background make for a stunning sight. It almost seems as though all the luminance of an invisible moon is glowing in just this spot. Fascinating textures and shadows add their own subtle magic. The distance looms, peacefully present. I could stare at this for hours:)

Magnifique......
Simplicité et extravagance se cotoient harmonieusement...
De l'art....bien capturé...
Bravo Vincent!!!!
Claude

Hi Vincent - a real 'other worldly' kind of shot.
The IR has worked well with this subject.

Is your camera chipped for IR, or do you just use IR filter?
Cheers
DAvid

Hello Vincent,
Fantastic mood and a great effect. I simply love the high contrast between the the high and his shadow. The composition is very well done with that «web» of white conneting the ground to the sky. Great work. Congrats, mb

Truly impressive and artistic Vincent. The blues and white are gorgeous. The branch in the f/g really is a focal point in this compo. Well done. Danilo

Hi Vincent,
The color combination that really draws the feeling of cold - thanks to the IR shot that enhanced the mood. Love the sharpness and details on the white branches.
Regards,
Ramdan.
