Infrared: The Little Tree Church

[Chris Dodkin]

Located in a shopping mall parking lot, in Tustin CA - you'll find this 6 person chapel.

Shot in Infrared, using a Hoya R72 filter on the X-Pro1 and 35mm Lens

Like the shot, Chris. the tree is crazy. Nice clean air, it seems somehow.

 

[Dave Green]

That's a lovely shot that is! And that bit of movement in the tree works really well.

 

[Brian Moore]

Lovely IR Chris. What was the shutter speed?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks chaps.

It was extremely clear yesterday Rob, and hot (86F)

Dave/Brian - the movement was from the long exposure - this one was 10 sec at f/8 ISO200.

If you push the ISO to 6400, you can shoot hand held on the X-Pro1, but you get more noise and loose the movement in trees etc.

How do you do it chris?! Just how?
Your shots are so clean, sharp, and stunningly composed.... I just want to come over there and slap you!
Brilliant work time and time again.

 

[Beth Carter]

love the movement in the first and the intimacy of the second. wonderful ir tones!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Beth

And thanks Dan, I could probably do with a good slapping!

 

[Pete Askew]

Maybe Hamish can create a button along the lines of HHF/Slap Hugo. A Slap Dodkin button we can use to make us feel better!!

Nice shot though and the movement really adds that finishing touch.

Lovely image again, Chris! In fact two lovely images!

Lovely composition, but the IR effect is just stunning & adds that little extra! Well done, keep them coming!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Pete... I think...

Yes they are Chris's usual smooth offerings. I bet he's not that smooth with the ladies though . I'm supposed to be buying a 2nd car for Kerri but I want to buy the X1 Pro instead!

 

[Pete Askew]

How about a tatty old banger, 20 cans of spray paint and an X-Pro 1?

Paul - the British accent works wonders in these parts - that's all I'm saying'
