Broken Down Shack in IR [68555 Special Effects]
Uploaded: June 07, 2006 03:59:14
Somewhere on the backroads of Madison County, IA. Used Olympus camera and the Hoya IR72 filter, which makes the greens turn to whites and darkens the skies. Also used graduated neutral density filter.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.........This house was a goldmine of shots Ken. The filter sure made the sky jump out. #460110
