I just can't get enough of IR--and find more ways to distort and play with illusion. Here's one done with evening light--not nearly as much 'flash' to the original IR (good strong daylight/sun is best for that really eerie white effect with the plants its seems). This is called 'false color' IR. The tall object is a 'bean tower'--I plant hyacinth beans for the hummers. It will become totally bean plant covered and the plants will have magenta flowers. They seem to grow about 6 inches a night LOL. The garden is my veg/herb garden. I still haven't gotten off my own acreage to find other subjects--maybe the weekend *S*.

I should probably mention--technically--that this is done with saturation and histogram adjustment, channel splitting and 2 photos, one IR and one in color.

Damn Diane... I was going to try that tomorrow. You beat me to the draw LOL. Great effect though :)

he, heee, heee. Fun, aren't they?!? I have another I did this morning that is totally different (and then one where I moved the camera just a tad, was combining and was getting this very eerie tad of a ghosting and figured out why). Also, I thought someone might be interested in the difference of the same subject--one taken in strong morning light and one taken in evening. Considerable difference. Probably set my white point a bit differently also. This is morning.

This is same subject but taken in evening--probably close to 8:30. Quite a bit of difference.

I think you are having way too much fun with this :)

Weird! Clearly the first picture was taken on some planet in the next solar sytem. The two are sooooo different. It's like the light was sucked out of the plants. ( Yes I meant to type LIGHT! ) They arn't dark they are dull colorless and lifless. Can make some really good scarry pictures with them. Have you tried a portrait yet? Bsteph
