    Having just looked at your cemetery IR post, I'm not surprised that I like this one too. Clean and simple. Any good tutorials for a beginner on how to do IR?

    It's a beautiful scene. Although, I guess I don't get the color IR thing. How does the IR get colored? My problem is that here we have a realistic deep blue sky, some nice fall colors, and what looks to be a dead cactus. If you've gone that far to color the scene, why not make the cactus green? ne_nau.gif But I'm sure that's just my own shortcoming. :uhoh

    Howdy Joel,

    Thanks very much for your reply and thoughts.

    I certainly can understand your view, I guess my take on IR is, you set the white balance to be white on Foliage and trees and generally anything in that color range. So when I am doing my post processing, I like blue skies, and some color in the image, but the main things that keep it "IR" in a sense stays white in processing or a golden color, which they don't really have a color range unless you purposely, physically color it, and it's not changing due to color swap.

    I taught/learned this along time ago, and it's served me well, Photography, like most everything else is "Subjective" and open for interpretation by everyone. I know IR isn't for everyone, and "Colorized" IR is even less appealing to a lot of folks, but I like it:D

    Thanks again for your reply, and Merry Christmas to You and Yours!~!
    Take care,
