Stunning! :thumbsup:

I like the pose of the model, and how her attire complement that of the background. Reminds me of a mythical land.

But but but... if only the building is not there in the background... then it would be perfect...

This is good! Yilishenxian, if you are looking, this model shoot and the IR effect blend properly. Thats what I meant by using the effect for the concept.

But, theres always a but, this composition is too tight and rigid. Go wide and maybe model should be off centre abit. So the background complement the model. They should blend properly as a composition. No it looks like the model is Di onto the background. Would want to see full body, the crop is abit funny. If you want to centralise the model, maybe vertical protrait will work better than landscape.
 

Nice but this does not look like a 100% IR shot to me.

Look at the foliage and sky, it's IR alright. Then look at the skin tone of the model, her arms, belly. They don't look IR. It's like a blended 2 shots pic.

Vito, correct me if I'm wrong.

I think its like bobby's style. blend 2 pix together, 1 with IR the other is normal pix.
 

@teerex,

you are right, and I´ll guess that the model shot was made in the studio not outside.
 

This is another one ....

Yes yes, I'm looking, but I want the model to be in IR as well just like the 2nd example above :).

Good, you can see the theme works very well with the effect. Bringing out the idea of the photographer.

Just a tip, when shooting IR you may want to close apperture to f5.6(safezone from hotspot for most lens) to maximise the DOF. So chances of off-focus is minimise.:thumbsup:

For my 300Di, I've been shooting with f8 and above.
 

Just some comments,
for the 1st photo, although it looks nice, it's not a true IR model photo. Also, like Max mentioned, a vertical crop would be better.
2nd photo, the focus is off. The model does not stand out as the main subject of the photo.
 

for #2, the theme is good, but the model is too blend into the statue. perhaps can go closer and model in focus inside of the statue

I'm now noting on focus correction after I set the AF on the model. Hopefully I get better focused pictures this time round.

I'll attempt again nxt time when I'm ready ...
 

good pose. background looks as if it's winter time :D
 

does Ir photography require alot of post processing or the sky and the leaves turn out white and grey by itself
 

First time I've seen one like the first one, and even though it's not pure near IR (the model), I think it's an interesting effect and looks pretty cool :)
the 2nd one, it's also quite cool, with the model becoming a statue!

Yay for you! :D
 

from what i read from other webie... the crucial part of IR mode shot is the skintone correction... if the 1st pic is really IR shot (singel exposure), you have done well with pocessing of skin tone....

some of modded cam that allow some of visible light of yellow and orange, can produce quite nice skin tone straight from cam...
