Two new IR ones today - Lepe Beach

Just two today, since it mostly rained and when I did get out the wind at the beach was so strong I could hardly stand up...

Two views of the same post at Lepe Beach in the New Forest. No crucifixions here - until recently it held up a big diamond-shaped sign to warn shipping of a pipeline, but now it is a bit derelict. Since the subject of critiques has come up in another thread I'll add that I'm posting these because people seem to enjoy seeing them, and it also seems to be stimulating more interest in IR. I'd be interested in what people think of these two very different images.

1. The aim with this one was to achieve a very stable image, perhaps a reaction to the buffeting of the wind...

2. A more dramatic composition half an hour later on the return leg of the walk once the clouds had changed. I do love using clouds...

I definitely prefer #1, mainly due to the sharpness and interest of the foreground. Yes, the clouds in #2 are very dramatic, but for me they don't quite work with the subject. I like the way that in #1 the cross element is isolated from the background sky.

If ever I buy the K5 then my K10D is off for IR conversion - definitely inspired by your recent series of images.

Two good shots. Great skies in both.
Best wishes,
