Several IR treatments

Nice cross section of treatments.
I like the subject matter of your compositions. Isolation, density, trees, mood.
I'd have to well done.

Thanks Michael.

The first and last employ a "Photo Filter", red and warming, respectively. The middle 2 images start similarly to my standard IR processing, but the third was partially desaturated and the second completely desaturated and the tones severely limited to simulate a particular "Expressionist Scraping" paint technique (maybe).

2 and 3 both look like snowy winter shots. Very nice, especially 3.

Howdy Ziggy,

I really like the first and last ones,
very beautiful colors and subject really do
it for me.

Thanks Richard. There is more detail in #2 than what shows in this size, so I think it will print nicely. I also like #3 even though it lacks a singular subject. Just something about it ..., can't quite nail it down.

Thanks Craig. I do think I'll use the photographic filters more after these encouraging results. I've used sepia tone for B&W in the past, of course, but these warmer tones give a sense of Autumn, as opposed to the cooler and cold tones I've used in the past and seen in other IR treatments.

There all really great and I thought #1 was it for me but after spending 5 minutes more admiring them I think it's the contrast of the sky and the foliage in #3 that has me liking it a little more. But then again the detail in #1 is amazing..................you see a theme here right:D

I really like #2 Ziggy...it has an inviting appeal to me and at the same time gives me a haunting kind of feeling. Reminds me of old movies where you can hear footsteps, but you have not a clue where they're coming from

Thanks. Infrared images are always an interesting challenge. I wish visible light images were as malleable.

Thanks Mary. I wish I could remember the name of the art technique that I was trying to simulate. The concept is to reduce and simplify, while providing enough detail so that the subject matter is still clearly discernible. In the artistic method you remove material to expose/reveal the image from the foreground material.
