Blue Lake

Infra Red photo with some added Photoshoppery.
Lovely shot, though it does make it look a bit too cold to swim in lol.

Fantastic. Have you had a camera changed to take infra red? Fav

WOW!

@markp @nanalisarocks @skipt07 Thanks for the kind comments.

@shepherdmanswife Yes, I had an older camera converted to take near infrared pictures. It can produce some odd effects and very different processing required, compared to regular photos. I'm still feeling my way around.

This looks very cool, it's something I've been wanting to try myself.

@gardencat are you in the UK? If so could you tell me where you sent your camera to be converted ?
October 25th, 2014  
@shepherdmanswife I'm in Canada and I sent mine to the US to have it done. It didn't take too long but I did get hit up for tax or duty or something on it's return. I had it done by a company called Kolarivision. They have a helpful website with quite a bit of info about things to consider before choosing a camera to convert, since some work better than others.

@gardencat thanks for the info. I'll have a look to see if my camera is suitable.

You have a deft touch in processing and a true gift! Thank you so much for sharing! Fav!

Cool Joanne. You have your NEX converted for IR then? It's fun, isn't it? The False Color processing worked well.

@frankhymus Yes, I had an older NEX camera converted about a month ago. I've been having quite a bit of fun, but I admit processing to pull out the false colour is a very hit and miss operation for me still, as is picking subjects. For every picture I get that I am happy with, there are many more that just don't make the grade.

@gardencat :) Keep it up! I am an avid IR person with my converted Nikon D3100, although I haven't shot much lately with it. A few are scattered throughout my projects.

Thanks to @frankhymus, I am seeing this very excellent shot for the first time. A wonderful effect, combined with the curves of the water and the reflections. Very cool shot.
