St. Marks Lighthouse in the St. Marks NWR, Fl. Photographed with a Canon 10D converted to infrared.

Nice composition I'd try to darken the tree trunks a little more for a smidge more "pop"
Have you done alot of shooting with your conversion camera? I'd like to do it also.

Hi Leann:
I haven't done too much with the IR camera. But I'm glad I had the old 10D body converted. The best time to shoot IR is when there is a lot of sun. So when you have shot with your regular camera in the early morning and late afternoon you have mid day to shoot with the IR camera. If only there had been some clouds in this image-I love IR clouds!

I agree with Leann about the trees. The addition of a dark tone will really make it stand out.

Wow if you can then shoot alllll day-when do you stop to get ice cream?
Just a little contrast boost, Jim, and this is a winner!

Nice shot Jim! Got a question for you about the conversion. I have an old 300D (Digital Rebel) I've been thinking of having converted to IR, where did you get yours done?
Cool shot Jim. I think a darker sky plus more contrast would more than make up for the lack of clouds.

Nice shot Jim. I have been thinking about converting my 10D also. I haven't done it yet because I do like having an extra body but It will probably be converted one day.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Thomas, my camera was converted by Life Pixel in Washington state. A recently published book "American Ruins" by Arthur Drooker was photographed with a Canon 5D and was converted by LDP in New Jersey.

I do not know anything about IR, but like this shot, find it very unusual.- SandyLee
