While shooting at the Spanish Monastery today, this kitty started walking the halls. Grabbed my IR Camera (as my 40d was on a pod) and I popped a few pics. It was slightly underexposed so I boosted the exposure and add a Kodak Tri-X filter from one of my Plug Ins and Viola.

Michael, I love the sanctuary in this one...the IR really pops all the nooks and crannies and there is just a huge amount of texture here. The only thing I think could be improved on would be to add more dark pupil area to the cats' eyes. They look a bit on the "Stephen King" side and I think a little additional dark area in the center would make him look much more realistic and less "Pet Cemetery!"
Hi Michael,
I echo Jules' comments - the sanctuary does look stunning and the cat is a killer touch apart from those eyes - they are a little scary!!
Regards,
Nicki
With Halloween coming up, maybe the scary eyes should stay ;-)
I knew you were going to say that! If that's the case, then I dare ya to turn 'em yellow and really freak us out! :eek::eek::eek:
Michael,
Ditto on all the previous kudos.
I think I'd like to see what you can do in the "scary" direction, if you want to spend the time.:D
In the more "serious art" direction, I'm inclined (;)) to straighten the columns on the right, and the left side of the door frame.

EXCELLENT...my friend, what more can I say. The ***** cat is a plus, I'm just waiting for the wicked witch to open the door...:eek::D:cool: You really gave this an spooky feeling...:D
Awesome capture Michael. The cat takes it over the top.
Regards,
yellow eyes would be freaky!! nice capture, michael. the monastery does look nice here. different from your others, but with lots of character.
I vote for the yellow eyes Was thinking when the image first opened up a splash of color somewhere would be interesting !!!! I like it a lot Mike !!!
