Thanks to Netgarden for pointing me to some great IR pp advice.

Anyone like these compared with the pure B&W?

workflow?
these shots are really great. i like the dreaminess of them. can you share your technique/workflow to achive this effect? thanks, much appreciated.

These were done with the channel mixer technique I found on another site. Essentially you swap the blue and red channels in channel mixer. You then play with hue/saturation to achieve the desired effect. This is followed by levels and some sharpening.

To really make this work, I think you need to custom white balance against some green grass. I did not do this for these shots, but I will post some attempts with this technique when I can.

Mind pointing out a place for that advice? I really like the second shot develped this way. The first one is great too, but the second one stands out more.
