suezhenson, 9 months ago

This is so beautiful…

kelcan, 9 months ago

Stunningly beautiful shot!! way to go:)

Zeanana, 9 months ago

Everyone has said it already: Great photography (with the exposure and composition). That effect just came with an infrared lense? Means, that might have the same effect on a analogue camera, too? I’d have to try this :D

However, not wanting to pry … But… is this waterfall by any chance near the Dam at Croton-on-Hudson? :c) The shape looks familiar and makes me think of my home-for-two-years.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful shot…

Jeff Burns, 9 months ago

Not prying at all Zeanana It was actually taken at Brandywine Falls in Ohio. I am quite sure the lens filter should work on any camera. Thank you for the wonderful compliments

Thank you to Kelly and Suezhenson too

Zeanana, 9 months ago

Thanks Jeff :D
I’ll make a point in stopping by those falls some day if I ever manage to return to the US … I miss the scenery there heaps … smiles But as long as there are photographers out there and posting pictures, it’s a solace :)

Simon Gladwin, 9 months ago

Superb shot Jeff! Think I’ll pick up an IR filter too. Have been toying with the idea of tinkering with IR for a while. This has just convinced me!

Jeff Burns, 9 months ago

Thank you Gladders and Zeanana Glad I can influence :-)

Leo Brown, 9 months ago

I am very glad it is enjoyed so much.

Torfinn Johann..., 8 months ago

A stunning shot. Fantastic colours, composition, and exposure. I can understand why they buy this one. Well done!

Bruce Halliburton, 8 months ago

Thanks for your kind words on my own infrared pictures Jeff! My pictures were taken with old-fashioned Kodak high speed infrared film and loaded onto my PC via a neg scanner. You seem to have had more luck than me taking digital infrared pictures though (I love this one).

FYI and in response to Zeanana’s comments a few days ago: All digital cameras can take infrared pictures with an infrared filter fitted, but the cameras actually contain infrared blocking filters, so you need to take very long exposures to get round this. Ideal for your waterfall though!

How long was your exposure, out of interest?

You have inspired me to have another go with Digital IR, Jeff! Thanks!

Joseph Klatka, 8 months ago

Excellent, Jeff!! We need to see more!

Jeff Burns, 8 months ago

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for inquiring. I actually left the shutter open about 10 seconds on this shot at a 3.2 AV
But it is different everytime. I usually end up snapping 10+ shots a few at each setting messing around to try to get the perfect setting. I have a few more shots in my portfolio that I actually used similar settings and put the camera on Neutral Density or B&W mode. This is what happens when you leave the camera in full color mode. On the If the Tree’s could Talk shot I actually set the camera to Vivid colors to sharpen the orange a bit.

dehk, 8 months ago

Turn down your hightlights, the bright sky is fighting with the beautiful water. and, perfect angle, couldn’t ask for more.

Sharon Stafford, 8 months ago

Thanks for your comment on my photo. I just joined RedBubble today, and to get a comment from someone who takes pictures as inspiring as this one is a great compliment! I’m not familiar with IR, are all the effects in-camera?

Lois Romer, 8 months ago

What a fantastic backyard you must have. Pity i have to drive for and hour to get to places like that.

Nancy Coyle, 8 months ago

Jeff…..... I am speechless!!!!!!!!!!!! This is amazing! I have NEVER seen this process done in this way before and it is nothing less then brilliant!!!!

I have not figured out how to do this processing yet…it always seems to stop me dead in my tracks! You seem to have nailed it so perfectly!!!!!! STUNNING!!!

Adela Hriscu, 8 months ago

Fantastic, breathtaking!

Paul Vanzella, 8 months ago

Stunning piece – just love your tonal work and the movement of the water just makes it!

Christopher Chan, 8 months ago

This is an incredible scene !

Antoine Dagobert, 8 months ago

Heaven indeed Jeff..Love the golden tint..best regards my friend

awoni, 8 months ago

This is amazing, I love the contrast of the image

Jeff Burns, 8 months ago

Thank you very much Awoni, Antoine, Christopher, Paul, Adela, Nancy, Lois,Kiwi and Dehk I am speechless myself on all the wonderful compliments on this shot.

Dehk I did toy around with turning down the contrast a to get rid of the brightness, but to be honest I got risky and left it because it really made the image look like there was a massive light shining down and I wanted the photo to show that. Especially the angle of where the sun was. It was right at me at that time of the day. Thus the “Heaven Shining Down on Me”
But I do appreciate your point of view and I do have a shot of it toned down. I have had a few people comment that way off line.

matjenkins, 8 months ago

damn!
very nice
i’d love to do something like this

Charlene Aycock, 8 months ago

Charlene Aycock, 8 months ago

jeff i tried to order this today but could not it kept saying my card was invalid number which it was not!! i hate pay pal, i recently had two friends have their accounts wiped out using pay pal… i refuse to use a debit card on pay pal and it wont take my credit card. if you have any suggestions on how i can order your picture please let me know. Charlene

Deri Dority, 8 months ago

Wow, so beautiful. A wonderful piece of art.

Jeff Burns, 8 months ago

Thank you very much Adam, Charlene and Derid. I appreciate the compliments.
I would try giving Paypal a call. Believe it or not I had the same problem a while back and they had a date wrong which kept declining my card. I called them and they straightened it out.

I really never had a problem with paypal besides that its very secure. If they cannot help you, you can always shoot me an email.

Another thing to do which is what I did. Get a credit card and make them make your limit like $200
most credit cards do that. Then putting it on paypal you don’t have to worry to much.

alistair mcbride, 8 months ago

Great work Jeff,nice work with the blurred water.

mand3rz, 8 months ago

Jeff ..what aperture and speed do you use ?.. Im trying to do these shots and cant seem to get it yet :(

Jeff Burns, 8 months ago

Shoot me an email Lucinda and I will give you more details. My email is on my bubble page.
Plus I have a couple questions. Are you using an infrared filter or are you just talking about getting the water to look like that?

BstillPhoto, 8 months ago

Excellent Color!

frogster, 8 months ago

Beautiful image.

David Thibodeaux, 8 months ago

Great shot, Jeff. I’ve just started playing around with an infrared filter. It would be a natural to use on falling water. This is stunning.

Starr1949, 8 months ago

As I pop back through your gallery.. this shot always catches my eye. Unbelievable magic to it! Just great work and it draws ones attention, mystically.
