I had to come and look at your psp filter! This is nice, comes out pretty good dont it! :-) nice composition and framing also. A cool shot indeed! When you use the real filter the greenery comes out fairly whiteish (and if its really sunny a really bright white) making it look very surreal so try dodging some of the greenery with a large soft brush set to dodge highlights at 4% strength in photoshop (dont ask me about psp and dodging, i tried it once and didnt like the results so i always use photoshop. Sometimes i put a weak diffuse glow with photoshop too! i have a couple of flowers that i applied the infrared filter from psp to in my gallery.
I need to try this eventually...I really love how these IR shots come out. This one has such a dream-like quality to it...something that you just wouldn't get with pure B&W. Very nicely done, Ian!!
Sorry to all...I haven't been commenting as much as I would like to lately. I'm a 9 to 5er again (actually more like 8:15 to 7:30 these days!!) Don't worry, I still see all of your wonderful posts, if only for a second.
