Description
I have just got an IR filter to play with. I have always found the images they capture so surreal. It is just that we cannot see IR light I suppose.
I have yet to get the snowy summer foliage that happens. The leaves give off tons of Infra Red Light when in full midday sun, so appear almost white on the B&W. So still some experimenting to do. This is what happens when the wildlife doesn't show. I do get distracted easily! The dramatic sky though is evident when the B&W image comes from it.

You may want to do a custom white balance in camera to help bring out the white in the foliage. There is quite a learning curve to IR, but that is one of the basics.
I don't know anything about IR but I know this is the sort of Black and white image I love. You know, when you are out walking and just stand and close your eyes for a moment and then when you open them everything is in double clarity if there is such a thing. Everything seems sharper, clouds seem closer and you can see layers in everything.
A beautiful IR image and I can see you are going to have fun with this new toy.
Stunning capture and post work my friend. God Bless.
This is a superb B&W Kevin.
OOO! Have fun! I'm the same , so easily distracted, and then I get locked into the new thing. This looks like the moment or two before some ghastly murder takes place , or the discovery of a body round the corner.
great capture in b/w and i like the shadowplay in front of too !!
OUTSTANDING
Nicely done, Kevin; Ronnie was experimenting with this technique too, apparently there's some kind of colour shift you have to do to get the white foliage, but it's all beyond me. Sometimes they look just like shots from the depth of winter, and it can be hard to figure out when they were actually taken! Excellent shot!
Beautiful B&W!
Great B&W- thanks for sharing! :-)
