Birches and Ghosts in the Ibmer Moor

"Birch Ghosts" (panning) • Ibmer Moor, Austria

Another photo with panning (previous examples are here and here). I am fascinated how weird the birches look. Happens only in the black/white version, something like a "negative" or maybe even "x-ray" effect. Here's a different photo in color:

Not quite as nice as the black/white version, and very nervous, too, isn't it? The last photo is another attempt at working with negative clarity in Lightroom (there are no local adjustsments in this photo, only negative clarity):


Birches, softened • Ibmer Moor, Austria

I like this one very much. It has a somewhat mystic (or maybe eerie?), detached quality. Gaaaawd, its the end of January and I'm so longing for spring. I want the colors back, but I'd say I'll have to wait until April. :-/
