Hi again Jane!
> ...point me in the right direction
> on the photoshop stuff ...
Learn how to do a levels correction on photos ... there are many PS turorials in the web ... here's one of them:
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/levels.htm
Then you're ready for the next step ... the trick is, that you have to do the levels adjustment on every color channel (red, green, blue) separately instead on the whole image.
If you used in-camera custom white balance, the image will have a brownish sky and cyan or blueish plants after the post-processing. If you use the channel-mixer now to exchange red against blue and vise versa, you get the Channel-Shift-Style shown here ... in the red channel set the reds to -100 and blues to +100 and in the blue channel do the opposite.
> Also, have you ever tried the 10D or 350D
> with an IR filter and what do you think ?
Not myself, but I saw several nice IR shots taken with these cams. But the 350D seems to be the better choice of the two (for IR). But beware of a wrong lens choice ... many lenses are a bad choice for IR and show a light spot in the center of the image. The Canon 28-135IS is my favorite lens ... not only for IR ;-)

Sorry Chris but forgot to ask what might be a stupid question - do you ever take your pics on windy days or do you wait until there is no wind because of the long exposures ?
Also, have you ever tried the 10D or 350D with an IR filter and what do you think ?
Cheers
Jane

Hi Again Chris,
Thanks for your reply - could I be cheeky and ask you to point me in the right direction on the photoshop stuff you do with your images so I can try and get the same colour tints in parts of the image.
If you could let me have a url that would be great :)
Best Wishes from North Wales
Jane

Hi Jane!
> ... images I could only hope to get !
You just need the right place, the right camera and a tripod ... and a R72 of course ;-)
> Do you use modified camera bodies ...
No, all my cameras are unmodified ... I just use a tripod and the R72. Manual white balance and the right post-processing is the key. You have to do a levels correction on every color channel separately.

Hi Chris,
I think your IR images, all of them, to be first class - you capture the sort of images I could only hope to get !
Do you use modified camera bodies or do you use them 'as is' with the likes of a Hoya R72 ?
Cheers
Jane

Merci Bobby,

Photoshop's Channel Mixer does the trick.

Thanks Claudia!
You like IR and have a D30? Well, then it's time to order a Hoya R72 IR filter ;-)
But maybe the Cokin 007 is a better alternative, cause you can use that filter with all your lenses, you only need the adapter for each lens.

Thanks Peter,
yes, you're right ... the lighting wasn't optimal. Thank god, this location isn't far away, so I have a chance for a second try ;-)

Quite a nice corner in IR !
Perhaps it could have been stronger with the pathway sunlit .. would have given better contrast .. still like it !
