Rork, it seems that you just cranked up the contrast a lot on magnums IR shot to get your result. At least thats what I did that here, and it looked the same. As for magnums pictures, I dont see what the IR shot has over the regular B&W shot. In fact, the IR shot looks dead. No contrast, which is what B&W is all about. I must say, however, that I know nothing about IR photography, or why/how its used. While Ive always found it interesting to look at, Ive never perceived it as an improvement over normal B&W. I know its a big deal in photography, so obviously, Im just not getting something about it. So what am I missing here?
