p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · San Francisco Bay Area - IR HDR clouds


Hello All,

This is cross-posted with the Landscape 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!

Very nice. At first I thought the ground was too dark, but the emphasis is on the sky and that seems like a fine way of doing it as well.

When I saw the top of the first image, I thought it was south Florida—we get clouds like this EVERY DAY during the summer months.

I agree with stevez32's first thought and think the ground could be a little brighter, maybe with a bit more local contrast, just to balance the images, but I do love the clouds.

Nice set. Liking to see a bit more contrast in the ground on #1. Love the moon over the clouds in #2. Nice work.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and encouragement. It's inspired me to keep shooting IR every day this week!
