Griffith Park, Los Angeles

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Cloudy day with no direct sunlight. Mamiya 7, 65mm lens, tripod, Rollei IR400 film, IR72 filter, R09, 24 celsius, 5 minutes, CPE-2 rotary development. No adjustments.

What an interesting view Nihat. The use of IR gives it a nice twist I think.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you, Pete. Film quality is superb. Yet, I think I am going to miss the rugged IR effect of Efke IR820 AURA film. This is the first test, and it has a bit of HDR twist that makes me wonder.

 

[Beth Carter]

the layers from the foreground to the background make a great comp. great tones too.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you, Beth.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

almost a surreal/magical feel to the scene in IR - really like this

This location is on my 'to-do' list

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Very interesting shot, Nihat. How does it compare with what your imagination saw?

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you, Chris. You know, this could cut on my drive down to south distance, if you guys want to have a trip to L.A. area to meet and to make images...

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

The composition is as I wanted to express the urban+landscape, Rob. Yet, the film needs to be tested with other developers. It'll be interesting to see the variations.

 

[Brian Moore]

Amazing shot, Nihat. It looks L.A. look like a jungle, with the peaks for Maya ruins poking up. Very cool.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you very much, Brian.
