After months of experimentation, I've "cracked" the code on getting some of the colorful images others have demonstrated as being possible, out of infrared photography. Yesterdays examples were taken at a century old park in Reno. All but one pond are dried up due to drought but the trees and grass are still green, at least! These were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 5400 converted to a 590nm infrared filter, FYI.

Looking up!
Those are lovely. I like them better than most of the attempts at infrared that I've seen.

Really? I appreciate you saying that. These are essentially test images since I have been struggling to figure out how to get the results desired. I think many photographers using this technique over sharpen perhaps which may account for your comment. Thank you!

I agree, these are the most interesting infrared's I remember seeing. I've never tried the process and don't pretend to know what makes it tick, but looks to me like you're on to something good :) :thumbup:

Boy, I sure hope you are right about "something good." Thanks. Love your Dorthea Lang quote, by the way.

Very nice, indeed! Nice to see colors in IR shots. Next time please check the [] Store Original box before submitting so we can enjoy hi-res versions of your images.
Very appealing. I particularly like #2.
Those are cool. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks, and yes, I'll try to remember to do that very thing!

Sort of fall like, isn't it but with a different spin. Happy it appeals to you.

Beautiful... Nicely done.
I don't know much about IR.
Perhaps its time to learn something new.
