I was scouting aspen locations for fall colors today near Vedauwoo outside of Laramie. Storm clouds rolled in and ruined my nice white, puffy clouds surrounded by blue sky but I kinda like the results of these images taken with a Hoya infrared filter on my Sony Alpha. The white glow of the aspen leaves isn't as pronounced as in some of my other infrared images but I still like the effect.

Last one...Self-portrait with 10-second timer (8-second exposure).

Hey Brett - cool stuff! I wouldn't have thought to try a self-portrait with infrared; I would've thought you'd come out looking... I don't know, ... different? Worked our really well though!
I agree that the whites aren't as 'crisp' or pronounced as in your Teton IR images, but I imagine if you wanted to, you could get them very close in PS. Actually, the aspen look pretty good even though the IR effect is subdued.
Don't know if you've ever played around with Google's free program, Picasa. There's a "glow" effect in Picasa that, when applied to shots like these, can restore some of the lost IR effect.

Brett, I'm loving these IR images!
Gotta get me one of those filters. I just had some black and white images printed on metallic pearl paper for the county fair, and your IR's would just pop on that paper.
