To a 'finished' effort that looks like this. Not as I want it but it was only a test shot so it doesnt warrant spending loads of time on it.

The image seems to have vignetting. What lens was it ?

Sigma 10-20 I guess.


It looks to me as if the highlights has been pushed a tad too far.


Yes that is me being a bit heavy handed.
Also the foliage is a little blue but I was concentrating on getting the sky blue.


One of the 'tricks' with IR (IMHO) is to make the foliage secondary to non IR responsive elements. I know this was just a test shot but the image needs a non IR focal point. Apologies if I am stating the obvious.

Try getting under one of those trees and shooting 'up the non IR responsive trunk' to the white canopy.


Will do but the pines tend to be less IR responsive than deciduous trees.


Yes, deciduous are best.

One of the most interesting time is when they start to bud. You can get little white 'lanterns' against a mostly dark background.


This has whetted my apetite...going to get the IR camera out ready.
