Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Great concept Leigh.

I would like to see these slightly sharpened. Not too much but just to remove the mild fuzzies.

I concur with that! Great sky and building contrasting with the trees.

Really? I get the same colour with my R72(or whatever those infrared filters are called) equivalent filter. I can't see Leigh's exifs here but
I usually have to expose for several seconds when lens is stopped down.

You do get the reds and orange mixes with the R72 but the colour is dependent on the brightness of the sky at the time and the later white balance changes.

I don't have to expose for so long here as the D70 is one of the better IR-capable cameras, thanks to the weak IR-pass filter of the time. :)

I like the first and the third images :up: the first has that apocalypic feel to it with the 3 figures strinding towards the viewer, the third i particularly like due to the contrast difference between the tree and the remaining scene, my only preference would be the complete inclusion of the powerline tower.
