Pretty, Olga!! I would love to learn how to create the infrared effect with PS. Was it difficult? I used IR film in the past and it was a blast.

Very nice. I shoot IR as well. Both film, and digital. There is one digital camera I have found well suited to do this. It is the Nikon Coopix-990. The camera has to be modified to do this. Once done, the camera sees "only" IR. Needless to say this would not be your only camera. I will be happy to share the modifications if you like. Again, nice shot.

Thank you all! Well, making this effect is very simple. Just open your color image in "Channel mixer" (Image - Ajustments), check "monochrome," and change all RGB settings. Blue channel must me very low (from aprox. -50% to -120%), Red and Green -20%. Click OK, remove the noise (with Smart Blur or Quantum Mechanic Pro plug-in, for example), and colorize the image a little bit in green tone. I also used dodge and burn tools to emphasize clouds and flowers. ... I also want to note that I added artificial grain in this picture, but it is not necessary.

Beautiful Olga! I was always told you had to use a deep red filter? Did you use a filter? Thanks for letting us know how you did it. That's awesome. I can't wait to try it. I used to shoot IR film but since digital I haven't done much in IR. And I have missed it. :D Much Thanks Sheesh

I didn't use any filters, probably I left polarizer on my camera, but I'm not sure. 1) Underexposuring (-0.7 EV) That's all. Very easy and no original filters :)
