An IR shot from Trail Ridge
I shot this a few weeks back. There were some very interesting clouds about that day. As it turns out, this is one of my favorites and was just an off the cuff IR shot.
Thanks for any comments.
IR converted Digital Rebel, 28-135, tripod.

Cool shot Paul. Those clouds really pop in the dark sky.

Those clouds are interesting and the IR really shows them off.

Great tonal range in this shot. Really nice! I love the Never Summers back on the horizon.

Paul, wow, an amazing photo, the clouds look like jellyfish with their tentacles hanging down! or maybe it's just me!

Wonderful Paul! This is a strong argument for converting my Rebel once I get a newer one! :biggrin:

wow, very very striking, nice work. have you been shooting IR long? How does one 'see' in IR? Let me guess, another line of sunglasses.. :biggrin:

I like this, Paul! I can see why this scene caught your attention. Nice work. I thought the clouds looked like jellyfish too, Bill. :smile: Makes me want to convert my 20D.

Thanks guys.
Brent and Bob, it's certainly worth converting an old camera. It's fun to play with and I've gotten some great effects.
Paul - seeing in IR? I've found that high contrast lighting is what makes IR really sing. Some folks also really like the glowing foliage effect.
