Crazy colours from Torquay

hoodmeister · 30 Jul 2006 at 22:01

I just spent a little over a week in sunny Torquay. Twas an interesting trip..
I got some "OK" general shots & landscapes. All have pretty wild colours because... I'm in a colourful mood - these won't be to everyones tastes, though.
Am rather dissapointed in myself for not getting about town and snapping more urban life - the whole place has interesting character, and while it's not necessarily to my taste, there was ample photographic opportunity.

Anyhoo. Here's some shots.

#1 Rocky!

#2 An old boat, in a very busy harbour

#3 IR on a marginally quieter part of a beach

#4 IR out on the rocks

#5 A nice old lighthouse - IR

#6 Pre-sunrise IR out on a peninsula (Hope's Nose)

#7 More IR from very early out on Hope's Nose

#8 Neglected old bench

#9 Obligatory life ring

4,5,7 are amazing!

Lovely shots. 2 and 7 are great. N8 superb.
What do I need to do IR? I have D70. Thanks

An IR filter such as the Hoya R72

8 is my fav. All great shots though! Well done.

some great shots there hoodmeister. I love the effect on the lighthouse shot and the colours in number 6. That IR filter looks like fun

Hi Hoody,

Love the IR shots and there's something about no. 2 I really like. Cool :cool:

Love the photos, especially as I live in Torquay

Wow, i love the second shot, trying to work the perspective out on that, lol. Really nice shots mate, could i ask what processing have you done to number 9, i love it.

Thought I'd have a dig back through a few posts and find your obligitory summer thread Hoodi

Haven't been about much recently so obviously missed it.
Annnnyway....

Ace stuff mate

Great to see you doing your trademark IR on something other than trees

It works really well with the sea I think, a very different effect, plus you get a nice long exposure over moving water which is always nice.
Star of the show for me is #5 though. That Lighthouse is just fantastic, love the light on it.

7 is brill photo

Excellent shots.

Is there any way of acheiving IR with a camera that doesn't support a filter, I.e., in Photoshop?

2 & 3 =

Don't think there's a single photo there that I don't like :eek:

Especially like the last one
