My turn... to IR portrait ~ [limwhow]

As I continued to explore IR photography, the initial internal struggle within me began to subside.
The conflict that arises from the struggle between being a purist IR shooter and being a naughty colour manipulator.
I think I probably belong to the latter.

Thanks to our Indonesian friend Rudy who showed me the first IR photo in my life.
Thanks to fatigue who painstakingly modified both our IR cameras.
Thanks to AlexK and vngks who brought me out for my first IR shoot.
Thanks to SurrealDreamWalker who responded to my plea for help and taught me my first IR PP.
Thanks to LowLights who explained to me a lot of theories of photography and for poisoning.
Thanks to Lx3ChuA who demonstrated to me the intricate relationship between brightness & shadow.
Thanks to takeshi.lum who never failed to point out my flaws and giving me the impetus to improve.
Thanks to Wurdelak for giving me insight to IR photography during my infancy.
Thanks to Teerex for laying my path to DuoTone & TriTone.
Thanks to Franis247 for organising the one of the most important IR outings in my life.
Thanks to Jed for being consistently patient in explaining to me my hot spots right at the beginning.
Thanks to night86mare for your critical assessment that molds my ideas in IR.
Thanks to BullDog988 for opening up my eyes to composition and perspectives of IR photos.
Thanks to dibyogahari for pointing out one of my most important mistakes in histogram and for your encouragement.
Thanks to nleong, NetBaby, livideyez, JellyBelly, senser, airforce1 and ALL my good fellow CSers for your never-ending encouragement.

And thanks to my lovely SereneXMM for her unfailing love and patience in her support for my quest for the better picture.


Here are some little bits and pieces of my Revisits for all to have a good laugh.

limwhow #1
Sometimes in life, one would go back and relook and revisit certain landmarks that are of significance in one's life.
Here I am doing just that.
Went back and open up my old Fort Canning IR photos and re-visited them.

This time round, building in TriTone.
Grass Tri-coloured in three layers with gradation of the green from bottom to top.

Sorry, was very new then. Blown my grass. A good negative demonstration.

 

[limwhow]

limwhow #2
Similar TriTone (Black, Pantone Brown and Pantone Beige) Pavilion and Foliage.
Gradation of green on grass.

 

[limwhow]

limwhow #3
I must admit.
Being very new then, I over-blown my grass (again).
Apologies.

 

[limwhow]

limwhow #4
This one I was merely being naughty with the tri-colours on the plaque.

 

[limwhow]

limwhow #5
I couldn't help but being mischievous once again.
Again, just for laughs.

Thanks to all for viewing and for your Criticisms.

Wow!!! Level Up again... When is ur workshop coming!!!:thumbsup:

 

[livideyez]

Beautiful man. I love #3 and #5 a lot.
Normally I always see this IR colour thingy on my Facebook by the Indonesians IR Photogs.
But I'm really glad we have our very own right here among us.
You should come out with a nice tutorial or master class. We'll be down to learn and support you.
Keep up the great work and fascinating us with your works. :thumbsup:

i love this shot!
the sky looks dark and overcast but the subject is "lighted up". the processing is very well done here! :thumbsup:
also, there is a comparison of the size of a man and the pavilion is very good! i love this contrast

Haha... Thank you very much, Ah Chua.
You are still joking with me...

Thank you very much indeed, livideyez.
No lah, I am merely experimenting.
Our Indonesian friends are certainly very good in this field of IR photography.

Takeshi.lum, thank you so much.
Now that you mention it... I didn't think of the comparison.
Well, I'm glad you like it.
Oh... hehehe... that was my SereneXMM shooting at the Pavilion...

 

[AlexK]

Gotta give it you, man. The photos were taken during our first IR outing many moons back and the weather was not so co-operative. But, your "new" photos are great. :thumbsup:

LowLights, thank you from the depth of my heart.
No, certainly not award what lah... Crazy, you!
But just that I realize that through my infantile journey in IR, there are so many generous and experience phoograpgers who have helped me along the way.
So just wish to express my appreciation.
And yes, I will take note of the light and dark contrast.

I also wan to koe.... Workflow workflow,,,!!!;p

Aiyoh... Ah Chua. I will certainly share with all my humble process.
But it's really nothing much one.
Don't expect anything complicated cos it's very normal stuff that I use one.

Yeah lor ...

Our indonesian friend, Dibyo Gahari is the REAL sifu!!!:thumbsup:

 

[SurrealDreamWalker]

Bro Lx3ChuA, don't have to sell off your D50IR lah. Bro limwhow's very good IR photogs are the result of his unique skills in PP.

Let's wait for him to compile into a manual instructions to share his 'gong-fu' in the stickies in this IR forum

 

[rickbath]

wow.. nice shots..

been some time since i done some IR shoots. Perhaps time to resume it again..

I liked the 5th pic.. stands out.

 

[fatigue]

Sell his D50 and buy D90 to be converted to IR :bsmilie:
