p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · SF Bay Area - IR HDR Clouds


Hello All,

This is cross-posted with the B&W forum, hope that's OK.

I think these images are a little unusual. First off, we hardly ever have interesting clouds in the San Francsco Bay Area -- it's either clear or grey with not much in between -- but yesterday the sky put on a nice show.

These pictures are taken with an IR converted Olympus E-PL1, and they are HDR from three exposures. With this old camera, it helps a lot with the noise and tonalities.

Let me know what you think!

Not what I was expecting when I clicked on the link; I was thinking I would see some over-the-top HDRing of the clouds. This was a pleasant surprise. The blending is very well done, and you did a great job capturing the drama of the sky. Nice work!

Sweet, like them all with a nod to the 1st with the "S" curve water way. Nice Comp.

I live in the South Bay as well & tried on Saturday to get a capture between obligations.
Glad you went out & did it !

Thanks for posting

Sweet shots, really like these. I've been thinking of doing the IR thing myself.

I opened this thread saying to myself "uh oh... not another overcooked HDR shot" and was pleasantly surprised to see these awesome results. You my friend have used HDR effectively, and I almost never say that. Well done.

When I saw these I was reminded of Adam's Golden Gate, Before The Bridge. The wide-open skies and beautiful cloud formations and your compositions...a real treat.
