wow great capture! +9/9 amazing

RobertVovk  05/18/06 @753

There is some spooky feeling in this photo. I guess I have made some influence on you in buying IR filter This photo has really some chaotic and spooky feeling, try using lower NDs cause your timing was 1/30, you will eventually get shaked photo cause of slow times. Great work, Robert.

i love it! nice composition and excellent contrast. +10

sdavis75  05/18/06 @757

@Robert: I have been interested in IR for some time now, but, yes, your work inspired me to finally go ahead a purchase a filter. Thanks!

Fyralath  05/18/06 @758

Very nice view on the rail, i like the perspective. Great shot!

moserArtist  05/18/06 @761

WOW! This is awesome! The low angle is brilliant!!! I so much enjoy these IR shots and this is one of the best. The leading line of the tracks is perfect! +10

RobertVovk  05/18/06 @761

@sdavis75: Yes, Sony F717 is great camera for IR, but sadly they crippled it by using 1/8-1/60sec@F2.0-3.0 in Nightshotmode.

Wallace  05/18/06 @761

Superb, great angle and use of the filter + 10

Tommyguns  05/18/06 @764

Great job Steven! The contrast is great! Ever see that movie "Stand My Me?" Stay OFF the railroad tracks! HAHA +10 Tommyguns

sdavis75  05/18/06 @765

@Tommy: One of my favorite movies, as a matter of fact. Don't worry though; this track has been abandoned for years.

Tommyguns  05/18/06 @770

Steven, what would the effect on this photo have been if you DIDN'T use an ND filter? How would the inversion look? I'm curious because I have a 3 stop ND filter for my 18-70 67mm and would like to invest in an IR filter as well. You all have inspired me to look further into this...thanks! Tommyguns

ilanale  05/18/06 @775

I JUST LOVE IT!!

RobertVovk  05/18/06 @775

Tommy, ND is used for decreasing light. You wouldn't need them, if Sony haven't crippled this fine camera by using fixed exposure times in Nightshotmode. Nightshotmode moves hotmirror away from sensor, so all IR light falls onto sensor and cause of fixed exposure times you need to use NDs, I am using 8*,4* and 2* times (6 Stops in bright day).

Umanth  05/18/06 @786

Great image very good composition.. Nice overall IR shot, Would love a but more DOF in the foreground ! F2.. I appreciate the filter doesnt help !!

MrBlue  05/18/06 @894

Awesome angle and .... just everything +10

zanzibar  05/18/06 @895

great clasic shot... congratulations for your IR lens

Byonder  05/18/06 @908

Really nice shot. I love the effect IR has on certain subjects. It definitely elevated this shot above the kind of standard "down the rail" shots that almost everyone takes at one time or another. I'm not crazy about the angle, but I understand why you've done it that way. Values look excellent. Nice work

Mihai  05/18/06 @923

This is beautiful Steven! Absolutely awsome. The compo is clasic, but seeing it in IR is something else. Beautiful!

monjo  05/18/06 @923

Love it! Great work Steven. Excellent composition and technically very well done. John

i love it ! =8/8

thesoulbeyond  05/22/06 @843

love!

KamilKascha  05/23/06 @645

love the tilted perspective and the whole spooky atmosphere you`ve also created through the tones. it somehow reminds me of old mystic western stories. i see that we`re using the same cam. good choice perhaps i would adjust the levels a bit more to get more high tones of it and rise the contrast that way, but its nonetheless the favourite of your gallery so far 9/9

metapuppet  05/23/06 @694

not sure if the clouds and the titl add to this but the splittone in combination with the ir makes a funky appearance. as a whole very very nice environment. maybe it lacks a main object.. will have a second look *edit: thy pylons, trees and the hut work great contrasting the tracks, formally. but the sky might fit better if either keept rougher or smoother imo.. or as mentioned a central element is missing.... the tilt works! but doesn't work concerning the pylons i think but works good on the tracks and the trees. compositional-wise good tones in the clouds the almost graphical feel in the foreground looks funky, too ,)

MaiteGoitia  05/23/06 @754

excellent work, I like very much, the contrast, the composition, the topic, a very beautiful photo.

patrix77  05/23/06 @901

another one of your best Steven... i love the way it's leaning

Passenger  05/24/06 @615

great perspective and angle! I almost feel like falling over!

vgar  05/24/06 @829

I LOVE this! Perfect composition. The lighting/contrast is great. Fantastic shot - strong mood to it!

thesoulbeyond  05/30/06 @815

This reminds me of a tom waits song by the way

SubtleDelight  06/14/06 @398

I feel like you've captured an eery, tense atmosphere. I almost wanna know what's behind you when you took this . I like it a lot.

t0qi  06/16/06 @271

This piece gives me the chills...reminds me of a dream i had...very sad yet somehow, im drawn to the sadness... Nice job...very dramatic and others can relate to it in their own different ways +10

greyfin  08/11/06 @811

great scene, wrong weather (especially for a sony). the ghostly feeling has a certain appeal, but maybe the pic would gain from more solar activity? revisit the scene, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! *puppy eyes*

jasonworx  11/27/06 @787

I lvoe this image! It's one of my favorites of your portfolio. I love the entire scene, the perspective, the IR, the tilt - everything. Great work! -jason
