    Hi Pamela,

    Looks like you did it right with the 2nd photo. All IR shots need the kind of post-processing steps you have done. Well done! I look forward to seeing more of your pictures. Oh, and a slightly larger version to look at would be nice. What equipment are you using?

    Hi Pamela........your second shot looks good, first looks ....shall we says "under done" , it doesn't really "Pop", but looks like you figured it out in the second shot you posted.

    I've never tried to do a Coloured IR shot.... but I plan to after my trip to USA, cause the ones I see get posted here look real nice thumb.gif

    Im using a Canon Rebel Xt.
    I think that the photos could be sharper, but I will figure out how to do better
    next time.

    Pamela..I know it will take time. I just received my converted Rebel XT 2 weeks ago...what a learning process.
    Try shooting aperture priority at f8 or f10 ISO100..this seems to work for me (for now anyways :D ).

    You can also change your camera to B&W setting if you want a truer B&W IR. And thanks for the nice comment.
