waterdrops on grass in IR, I like the idea.

The whitebalace you have chosen dilutes the idea IMHO since it is mainly reddish grey overall.
Some contrast correction and gamma enhancement would bring out much more....(also IMHO)

These are ideas as IR has no "color" (and I will remove them asap as per your wish of course...) I use for my IR shots at times...

Hi Klaus,

I tend to prefer a more subtle approach in IR, although I do like what you did here. Wild Cool !!!!

Cheers

Jules

From a total IR illiterate: is IR supposed to bring out something invisible from this type of shots, or does it simply give a different colourization pattern?

The latter Orio. Grass (green foliage) usually gets white, the sky gets very dark, skins get very soft and like tranparent looking, eyes get dark just to name a few. But it severely depends on which filter used. The deeper one gets into IR (longer wavelengths) usually all color disappear (this is a sensor side effect!) and a very contrasty bw picture remains.

Here some good info and examples:

Well I have to admit I like that at times (a side effect of my UV work), but also the subtle tones are very interesting.

Try a female portrait once, the skin gets ultra soft looking ("porcelain" type look, since IR penetrates the surface much deeper than normal light; UV does exactly the opposite - don't use with females or get killed...LOL), hair looks very nice too and eyes get a very deep dark look. Here's an example: (URL since I don't want to hijack the thread) http://bighugelabs.com/onblack.php?id=4018426642&size=large
