Nice one Harry.
Just goes to show that there are IR possibilities even in conditions one might not expect. The sky says it all about the conditions that this pic was taken in.
Sassan,
How I wish I had seen those White Balance comparisons when I started with my first film filter shots at the start of this thread. They explain a lot. A great link and thanks for that.
Harry has totally saved my life with his input in this thread so I am much in his debt.
Still early days for me, but as the D100 has two shooting banks, I have one set for Auto WB and the other on Harrys suggested custom WB taken from bright grass. Auto WB gives good B&W and Custom WB for false colour. Still to play with a B&W from custom WB. BTW the flash experiment shot was taken using shooting bank B, with custom WB from bright grass.
Setting a WB to suit certainly seems to be key even if you are shooting RAW.
I guess I am doing IR with a ball and chain round my ankle.
Hoya R72 filter rather than an IR conversion, manual focus lenses that cannot communicate with the camera, and a limited understanding of photoshop. Still I am loving the challenge and it's really broadening my photographic horizons.
