They are all with sets of five, bracketed in 1/3 stop increments.

The views of the bridge are limited by the trees around the pond. It's either straight on, 60º or 80-90º Slightly off straight will result in soggy feet!

It's such a photogenic place it's hard not to get some nice pix. There are a very wide range of plants and trees, all seasons produce a wide array of plants to photograph.

At least you don't need a 1000mm lens! Maybe a wide macro?

Robert, just going back to my post 11 and your reply 12....

Ive gone through the process of resetting white point colour in stages below in case you ever want to try it. It essentially enables you to change the colour of what Photoshop sees as 'pure white'.

Ive taken this fieldfare image and masked right half so you can see difference...

1.Open Levels (or curves)

2. DOUBLE CLICK on the white eyedropper to reveal the colour menu.
3. Select a new colour...Ive used 5% yellow as an example

4. Click OK and you return to the Levels menu

5. Make sure the white eyedropper is highlighted and move the eye dropper over the image to an agrea you want to be the max 'yellowy white' and touch it.

You may need to move it around to find the max highlight spot, or to get the right tint.

6. Hit OK

You will then be presented with a request whether this is a permanent change in white colour. Say NO....unless you always want yellowy whites. :-)

Eric, many thanks for taking the trouble to document the detail, I think I did miss a step or two.

Have been busy today, bit tired, will check it out later when I get over the day's heat.

Thank you hj, I really enjoy IR but I find the processing tedious. I don't have a clear routine for processing IR and find masking the sky a fiddly, time consuming task, despite all the clever masking tools in Ps.

Given that most IR images have trees and skies which regularly impose on each other, the masking can be quite difficult, for me anyway. That is the main reason I use my superb D200IR so infrequently.



That's also the reason I keep well clear of video. For me five minuets of video equals at least five days at the computer trying to edit the clips (badly).

I used to have a nice Sony HandyCam took some nice clips of the children when they were growing up but the video files languish on a backup hard drive which is seldom even hooked up to the computer. o.O

I now have a nice tiny cubic GoPro which produces superb video but I still can't face the editing of the clips. So it rarely gets an outing.
