Description

Still working on my infrared. I'd seen some beautiful photos where the sky was the only color in the infrared, so I wanted to try some of those. I actually made 3 layers; bottom put through Craig's Actions Shadow Soft blue, 2nd layer "blue" part of sky selected, feathered and cropped and opacity reduced so a slight bit of the blue would show in the white clouds; top layer sky was completely erased and layer was 100% opacity to keep any blue from showing through anywhere else. Critiques and suggestions VERY welcome.

Thanks, everyone. You are so kind to enjoy this IR experience along with me! I had to laugh at Claudette's observation about how it looked like snow. I am so jealous of all the people who get to take those beautiful snow shots in winter. The IR is the closest I can get to that in the Deep South!! LOL #1495019
