Busy, busy day today. Fun busy, though! Went out to shoot the sunset last night. A storm was brewing and all the boaters were making a mad dash for land. After the sun went down, it started rockin’!! You do not want to be next to the water when a storm comes in. When all the boaters had left, all storm watchers came out to park on the beach and watch the wind, rain, and lighting. It was wild!!
This is another from my roll of infrared film. It’s anything goes Saturday, and I really didn’t have much planned. This little graveyard is behind the church that I shot the steeple reflection and backlit steeple from. The sun was really shining down on the headstones, so I got that nice HIE glow.

I can relate to your comment, "This little graveyard is behind the church that I shot the steeple reflection and backlit steeple from." No matter how large or small your range is, I think we photographers have these places we like to go back to, over and over. We keep trying to capture something that we can't find words to describe! I do anyway. I really like this shot - it makes me want to get out to a particular cemetery that I have had my eye on as I drive past!!
WoW! Micki. You've inspired me once again to do this infra red thing. I'm really feeling this one.
I really like infared work. This one is great, a little "spooky" but has a wonderful feel to it.
IR works great on this frame! Great lightning, beautiful atmosphere...

I love infrared shots. This is beautiful, as was the last shot. I love that infrared makes foliage so dreamlike and fluffy. Great :)
Makes for a very surreal effect.
Very nice.
Cool and spooky. :-)
IR in a graveyard ? Micki, this is soooo spooky but fascinating to study.

Strange athmosphère ;)
The infrared film give some time that ;)
I like
I agree with solaria - the infrared film gave it a bit of a "spooky" feeling. I like it!
nice infrared!
i did not see very much infrared photos in my life...it's a strage feeling when you look at this photo...it's a good looking graveyard...you should see the graveyards in romania...you have big crosses, mediu crosses, gigantic crosses...crosses made by marble, crosses made by wood, stone...if you die and you have money you have a big grave...if you are poor you have a small one...i like that in america and other country's all graves are the size...
i did not see many infrared photos... sorry about my english...it's late and i'm tired... (03:19 am) :)
Good job Micki...I must give it a try!
Awesome shot. I'm curious, wouldn't you be using an infrared filter also, and keep exposure longer? I don't know specs of the Kodak HIE, but I guess it still might be effected by higher frequency light? Cheers
Looks great! I wish I could find some IR film cheap to experiement with.
Wow, this is an eerie picture!
Never thought of IR before, learning every day!
cool IR shot!
Infrared looks really really cool!
GREAT SHOT!
Simply awesome...
never tried infra-red before, but always thinks it gives such a great effect. this is really nice.
Keep looking for the ghost....sure there is one there somewhere.
This is a perfect subject for an IR presentation - what a compelling atmosphere is created!
