Quite an impressive creation you have here...kind of haunting. It caught my eye so I thought that I would let you know. I haven't used infrared film yet and am definitely new to it...what kind of things do I need to do different to expose the pictures properly (ie can I change lenses, will my metering system be fooled by the film etc...) Thanks. By the way, my main point was that this was a great shot. Keep up the good work. (Do you have any more infrared shots?)

Ryan,
Thank you for your positive response to my Barn. As far as infrared, you need to load and unload film in total darkness, you can change lenses, as you can with any film, some new cameras ruin the film because of the light LED's inside, (I use a Canon A-1 for mine), use a red filter, focus at the infrared focus marks on the lens, and practice a lot.

I just signed up for betterphoto, so as time goes by, I'll add more infrared. #4863

I love infrared when it's done right and this is definitly done right. Great haunting sort of subject. The placement and size of the barn is perfect but the coloring makes it. Definitly a lot of work and attention to detail here. Great shot - I'd be proud to have it on my wall. #4874

This immediately caught my eye.Very impressive!I am new to the world of photography...would you mind explaining to me what you meant by this was handcolored and how you did it? I love the effect it gave to this shot!A very memorable shot...one that shall remain in my memory forever. #4901

Hi Cheryl,
Thank you for taking the time to give me such a nice comment. Handcoloring, the way I did on this image, is a process of using oil paints and rubbing them into a B/W print. You can also achieve similar results on the computer. If you have more of an interest, please look at this website: handcolor.com #4935
