St John Street

I mentioned yesterday that these Infra Red shots are really about the key concepts of composition and light and shade. The surreal effect of IR, especially on living things is dream-like. But the fundamentals of composition become even more important when the image is taken in a point and shoot low resolution sensor camera. As it was in the early days of photography, you need to get the composition right in-camera, and avoid being overawed by the IR effects.

 

You'll never see a photograph like this blown up to poster size (small post card might be the best size at this resolution), but that doesn't mean it can't still be an interesting shot. One day I'll try this same angle with my pinhole camera. It'll look like something out of the 1840s. I'll have to set up my dark room first.
