Pastorial

IR of California countryside. Trying to get the IR techniques down.

Shooting with a D40 that won't let me set white balance. So...lots of

photoshop. Thank for looking.

one of those exceptions where an extensive edit really adds to a photo. I've seen lots of these that were bad. This is a very good photo to start with. Your work payed off here.

the composition is strong enough to allow you to crank up the "unreal" quotient. still, i would have preferred it somewhat softer.

I'm not a fan of IR; but I do want you to know that I really like this composition and exposure. Frankly, looking at the light you've captured and the tones in this; I think it'd make one hell of a black and white. Great sky! Where was this taken? In central California in the coast range? [Doh! I just read the title of the image - San Juan Bautista region]Well seen, Scott! Cheers!
