Thanks for the comment, William! I've been enjoying the results I've gotten with my dedicated IR camera (Sigma SD1). I was actually shooting another IR series when I saw this opportunity over my shoulder. The one I was working on was a 6-shot panorama in IR, so I had to get it done before focusing on this -- I just hoped the clouds and sun would hold. So when I was done taking this:

...which I can print at about 5 x 2 feet, I turned my camera 90° counter-clockwise and had a go at framing the other building. It was a great day for IR with the sun and clouds... I miss that spot, and by the time I get back to it, it might be gone. The buildings are all scheduled for demolition on the Psychiatric Center site (Kings Park, NY)...
