"Infrared Park Entrance"

Uploaded: May 10, 2006

Description

Infrared image of a park in Collierville, Tennessee. Taken late afternoon. The angle of the sun was just right. The surreal colors in this photograph are the result of special camera settings( especially white balance ) and color channel swapping in Photo shop CS2.
I use a Hoya R72 infrared filter . Most of my infrared photos are shot at f/8 at 28 mm. I then adjust the
shutter for a slightly overexposed exposure. White balance is adjusted with each shot with the "PRE" setting with the filters on. Focus is a bit tricky. Altho bright sunny days work best, some
intresting results can be obtained on cloudy days. Partly cloudy skys can realy make an Infrared photo look its best. For more examples of this technique, visit my gallery. Your
comments are most welcome.

I love the detail level you get in your IRs. I am still researching an IR filter that will work better with My Canon 20D. #2795506

Just had a look at your gallery and it's definately one of a kind. Beautiful! I especially just love all your infrared images! This one is my favorite, but it's very hard to determine which is best, they are all just so awesome. #3185424
