Today I begin a series of photographs taken with my infrared converted camera. (Am trying to figure out different ways to take photographs in the fog:-)) )
NIKON D300 1/125 second F/11.0 ISO 400 87 mm (35mm equiv.)
Interesting, Jack, we all learn from your experimentation. I downloaded a free copy of that effects program you mentioned. Thanks for that, and the frames included.
You know that I love infrared. This shot has an almost solarized feel rather than infrared, but that is possibly due to your subject. IMHO, IR is best at turning medium to good skys dramatic, and turning green foliage anything from light gray to snowy white. Here your tree is bare and your sky is plain. But I do like the tree and its frosty tones.
