View from my window in IR

[pyry]

Here's a shot I popped off to try a couple of PP things I managed to cram into my thick head (thanks to Andy's great tutorial (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1111417) and a another light bulb moment while comparing Life Pixels' samples (http://lifepixel.com/digital-infrared/samples.html)).

What I got, even with the blurry look (it was windy! :lol3), is probably the nicest looking IR-shot I have. And I didn't have to cheat with split-toning :D

I did custom whitebalance off the maple in camera (lightbulb one), then upped the sharpness, clarity, contrast a little bit and noise smoothing in Lightroom.

Finally a curve to fine tune WB and contrast, swapped red and blue channels in channel mixer (lightbulb two :D ) and upped the saturation in Photoshop.

Filter I used is a 720 nm IR-pass (a Hoya R72) on the nose - clear glass over the sensor.

Now that you know what I know - I'd like some more tips and tricks for working with IR, please :thumb

Now we need to see you do one when it's not windy so it's not blurred.
Not a well composed this shot Pyry, is there any way you can get to a park or lake?

I'd like to see an IR shot you've capture thats not through a window.
These are the sort of shots you learn from, the more you do the better you get....... remember COMPOSITION ... good try :thumb
... Skippy :D

Basics, got it :D

I didn't shoot this through the window glass, I opened it first then stuck the camera outside. Comp and focus were a complete guess - I really just wanted to test new things in pp.

About parks and lakes: yes and yes. I'm going to do a whole set soon as I find the time :D
