"Life, it seems, is nothing if not a series of initiations, transitions, and incorporations" ~ Alan Dundes
Well, here is my 1,000th gallery image an also an entry for the September Challenge Arena "Transitions" challenge. Click HERE to visit the forum and hopefully enter your own image. Since I've been doing so much infrared photography of late, I though that this would be an appropriate photo for my thousandth image. It is actually two photos combined into one. On the right the camera is a photo in the visible spectrum and on the left is an infrared image. I'd like to try more of these but there are problems when doing something like this with an unconverted camera. The infrared exposure last several seconds so motion can be introduced and things do not match up quite perfectly. Ah well, something to work on. A tripod is a must of course. Thanks to all of you who have commented on my work since I became a member here back in January 2000. You all keep me coming back and I have made many good friends here and been inspired by all of you. Seven plus years -- not a bad run, eh? ------

Happy 1000 th Kort ! Nice to have you here (Have you seen my recent post dedicated to you ?)
Mega-congratulations on your 1000th!
Congradulations on 1000. It certainly is some accomplishment. I feel that maybe a tutorial is about to come up regarding IR and the conversions? It look like it by this example. Thank you for sharing. egmont
One thousand uploads and still in transition...as all artists should be. A very fitting image indeed, Kortalouche. Very well done and highly indicative of your present interests. My heartiest congratulations to you on this monumental occasion...and...one thousand hugs! Best wishes -M :^)
What can I say-Im lovin it-great work
Congratulations on your 1000'th! A beautiful shot to exemplify the transition of your photography through time, and a metaphor perhaps for what is yet to come.
It's just beautiful and YES it does makes sense to combine them. Reminds me of the second half of Wizard of Oz! Congrats and I hope you know you can certainly choose to be stuck with us for another 7 or more!
Awesome!!! Genious idea!!!
Congratulations on your 1000th!!! This is amazing and a superlative example of all your marvellous work. Looking forward to the next 1000!!
Congratulations of your 1000th photograph, and what a doozie it is! Stunning isn't just a repetitive word of praise. You stopped me in my tracks and left me speechless. I have only just recovered sufficiently to comment. I would like to see more of these too. Hugs, Suzanne
congrats on the 1000... great pic too
congrats on your 1000th. I like that you're still experimenting...I want to see one of these with a mirror effect. those were cool.
.:you often see black and white images with hints of colour, but this image sets itself apart from the others, great work:.
OH Man this is cool and well worth the wait! :) Happy 1000th! Hope to see many many more!

{@}>---Hello my dear friend, Beautiful Photography. Excellent!! Congratulations!! and...A million stars from me!!!******************************** Hug and kiss in Your heart and happy day Luminous blesing. Ludy<---<---@
Great entry for this months challenge. And this kind of shots so much YOU. This is your "trade mark" I would say. Well done .
A thousand fronds? Is that anything like George H Bush's A Thousand Points of Light? Great composition incorporating two separate genres of photography, my friend. I thought I was entering two dimensions when I first saw this creation. Schizo or doppelganger stuff. Ennyweigh, super congratulations on your one thousandth posting on Renderosity. That's seven years of experimentation, research (in finding quotes, that is) toil and laughs.
Just like a portal into the land of IR, sound tricky photo matching, but I like the result ! Congratulations on your 1,000 th post...that's a lot of fine art my friend, looking forward to the next 1,000 !!! ~Cheers~ :o)
Very interesting technique. Congrats on 1000 images. I have almost 15 hurry I'm catching up!
