Nothing Says Curves Like A Rose

Image Description

This is an IR image of a rose from an arrangement that I gave my wife for her birthday. I see Infrared photography as another pathway for artistic photography. Most of my images I convert to black and white with the idea of creating more drama. In this instance though, I decided to utilize the color image that to me produces the tranquility and peace of this rose.

Robert: Having done zero work in infrared this is pretty intriguing. I love the soft color palette and the feather is a really nice complementary element. Wonderfully conceived, captured and presented. >=))>

Thank you again, Bill. Like I said in the description it is another artistic path. I’ve been trying it out for maybe 4-5 years and usually have the converted camera with me most of the time I’m attending a workshop or just shooting around home. After I’m done with my main image captures I will pull out the IR camera. The lenses for my Canon RF 5 are compatible with the IR converted camera.

Robert, you’ve got a nice romantic dreaminess here with the subtle colors and the slight softness throughout most of the frame. I like the change-of-pace that the leaf on the right adds and the blues and greens scattered throughout. You used the limited DOF well.

Thank you for the very kind words, Mark. Your description was exactly the “mood” I wanted this image to evoke. Bob
