Yikes...this is gorgeous. Thought it was an IR image. Magnificent work. #1253044Steve M. Harrington March 28, 2010
A fine image! I too am surprised that you can get this look without IR.Stephen A. Liverman March 29, 2010
This shot was taken in the November and the leaves were bright yellow and backlit by the sun. Using my polarizer the contrast between the leaves and sky was dramatic. It only took a little adjusting in Channel Mixer to achieve the 'glowing' look you achieve with IR images. #8493430Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
