66 Sep 20 Reply Hi Palli,
I was just curious, because normally when you set the custom white balance using a brightly lit GREEN space as your target subject, the resulting frame is closer to monochrome than red. I doubt it makes too much difference on your ability to post-process. Take a look at my original, also with custom white balance set.		 Sep 5th
66 Sep 20 Comment Hi Emil,

I have never done long exposure with my IR camera and my ND filters. You've sure accomplished an artistic cloud formation. To my eye, everything from the roadway back to the camera looks 'soft' (on focus), and that distracts my eye greatly. I know you used a tripod for a 15 second exposure, but I would have thought that focusing on the road or just before it (perhaps in manual focus mode) would have given a sharper, cleaner foreground.

66 Sep 20 Comment Hi Palli,

Quiet unique in subject matter AND in post-processing treatment. I like it a great deal and don't have any suggestions. My only thought is that with the kind of post-processing you ably performed, you lost some of the impact and effect of infrared in my view. By the way, looking at your 'red' original...have you performed a Custom White Balance with your camera?		 Sep 2nd
66 Sep 20 Comment Hi Charles,

I think it is VERY MUCH an IR image...and you've simply used color IR to capture it and present it to us. In channel swapping, I'd have liked to have seen more yellow and more prominence of the foliage along the lake and in the trees on the right. You have a lot of options when you swap channels in terms of amount and variety. Very strong image imho.		 Sep 2nd
66 Sep 20 Comment Jack,

Wow! This is fantastically seen...a delight. There's so much mood and finesse in this image. Toning down the brighest of the grasses would help, and use Viveza to make it super easy to do. The vertical crop works! 		Sep 2nd
66 Sep 20 Comment Nicely seen, John! This angle is interesting and very effective in my view for IR. Try the crop I've done here and see if you find the leading lines more effective. I didn't find too much interest in that part of the r.h. side I cropped off. Sep 2nd
66 Sep 20 Comment Hi Melanie,

I'm a big fan of the 'partial coloring' of an IR image. I think the work you've done on this one is technically superb. For some reason, however, it looks out of place to my eye to be coloring the house in this particular composition. I'm not sure I'm feeling the value-added of the color, as superbly as you've accomplished it.		 Sep 2nd
