Blacks2,
You are doing it exactly right. Those are iconic locations well captured in IR.
I hope you will share some more soon.

Swede,
Those are very interesting images, the foliage and light/dark areas are just a bit different, nothing I can put my finger on, just different. What equipment/settings did you use? It might be your post processing technique too.
I like them a lot, post more soon.

I'm glad you like them. Those images have gone through a long process of editing. All are panoramas and shot in HDR. They were shot in color and then converted to Infrared in One One Software Effects. There is not a lot of special editing as they looked good once converted from RAW to HDR. I use Photoshop to stitch the panoramas on the smaller ones and Panorama Studio 2 on the large ones. I use a Canon 50D with a 18 to 200 lens. The sunrise is shot with two Colin graduated neutral density filters as the sun was really bright that day. The first and third were shot ISO 100 and the mountain was ISO400 as it was late afternoon. The HDR settings are 1 notch high and low. Where I can I use f22 . I used a tripod on the mountain and sunrise shots. The arboretum shot was hand held as they won't allow tripods in the garden. Lots of information I hope it answers your questions. If not let me know. Swede

Hi PW4, That "sign" ? seen outside a bar must be seen only if a person had consumed too many drinks. LOL

Hi JacLee, well actually I was driving so I could not check out the sign any more than to take the picture! It was a lovely cool Florida winter day, and there were may patrons sitting outside enjoying the weather and what was in their glasses and bottles and wondering what this strange female was doing with her wierd looking camera with a filter taped to the end with bright green automotive masking tape (another story) bending down as much as possible with knees that are not working too well (another story) to photograph something they could not see as it was back in the foliage.................but who cares? You have to do what you need to do, and enjoy it, as I did!

I am really new to this and did not know much about IR until someone posted some shots yesterday. I was playing aroung in Paintshop Prox4, and saw in the nik program the IR program. I tried a few which I have included. The first two are simply done in the IR, and the third went first to IR then to polaroid seperation. I am pleased the way they came out. Any feed back would be nice.

I would like to see some other people comment on them. To me the first two seem a little harsh (I'm not sure what I mean totally) as it is purely a judgement. Possibly they are over saturated. I would like to have seen the originals to make a judgement on them. Another thing you might try is to convert them in the Corel program under the Effects column. Each software program makes different conversions. For instance of the tulip fields two of the programs I tried it on turned the flowers black which destroyed the picture. There are a lot of special effects in the Corel program that are quite interesting. I use it mainly for their special effects. In the end you are the judge of what you like. I applaud you for striking out on a new edit. Keep stepping out of the box, you will find some interesting things if you do.

Hi: Thanks for responding.I agree I think the first two are harsh, but this is new to me so I am trying. I have attached the two in original form. The third image was not saved in the original. I really enjoy this site and appreciate all the feed back I can get, if we don't learn something new every day, we wasted that day. Have a great day.

Now I can see what happened. You had images with a lot of very fine detail, which carried over to the Infrared conversion. I think your conversion is right considering the original pictures. They are just not the right picture to convert. I think images with less detail do a better job in any of the conversions. These are just my opinions and I'm sorry no one else has commented. Keep educating yourself on Corel. You will find some interesting applications. I particularly like the kaleidoscope function. It can be combined with others to make some very interesting images. I have a website with a lot of conversions on it mainly done in Corel. You are welcome to look at it if you are interested: http://www.photoartbyswede.com. Have fun.

Nice shots Llindstrand however I wonder about the software conversion as opposed to the camera and filter conversion. Your trees should be white like snow and sky like black or am I missing something?

Here is one taken last July. I love infrared images that I see but I am never happy with my own. Someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have sold this print in a series of infrared but still not happy.

I don't know. I tried conversions with three different programs and got different results from each one. On one the tulip field, the tulips turned black, which totally washed out the picture. Each program gives a different result. In the future I will try try the camera and filter option. Just don't have a filter at this time. One more thing for my wish list. It is another area to experiment with.

I don't know about you but my wish list never ends. All I know about infrared (which isn't much) is that it makes the trees and grass that are green and makes them pure white. I have never tried the software conversion. I had an old Nikon D100 converted over to infrared but that is where the knowledge stops for me here.
