Critique Welcomed Blue Ridge Scenes In Ir

[Keith Hollister]

I apologize in advance for not being around here much the past few weeks, but we were getting ready to pull our Airstream travel trailer up to it's summer destination in the Blue Ridge mountains in southwest Virginia.

These are some IR images (via a Hoya 720nm filter) with my Fuji's around the property where we stay on and off in the summer. It is a 76 acre spot on top of a mountain co-operatively owned and run by 46 stockholders (me included) near Floyd, Virginia.

Very effective Keith. I especially like the first though and the way the IR causes the tops of the trees to merge in with the sky.

nicely done keith. we just did a quick run down skyline drive on tuesday and wednesday, didn't quite make it to blue ridge this trip.

 

[Keith Hollister]

Thanks, guys.

 

[Tom Dunne]

All very good indeed. Very effective.
If I was to pick one out I think I would go for the second; just love how some of the clouds look as though they have parachuted down into the trees.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, agreed with others, these are very nice! There is a lot of in interesting IR photography out there, but these do better!

 

[Peter McCullough]

Like them all, but the first one for me is simply awesome.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Facinating images, the second one could almost be a huge castle made of trees. Very good set.

All together now:
"In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, on the trail of the lonesome pine"
Guess I am going to have that song in my head for the rest of the day....

And four is my favourite as well as 5 comes second. They are all good of course. Well done.

 

[Aldous Lau]

Very good images Keith, as everyone said all these shots are very effective
