I wanna take this opportunity to thank you all for your comments on this photo,and the time taken to write a comment.

Regards to all of you.....

And let's all keep on clicking.

Sacha I sent you an E-mail but it came back..I don't know the reason Anyway if you stumble through here then you might get the information you are seeking.

Sacha Hi ,thanks for your comment,Am sure you will also be impressed and

hooked once you give it a try.I don't know what camera you are shooting

with....But I owe a Canon 300D,but i kept my Sony lately only for IR. The

Sony's and Minolta's are very IR FRIENDLY... Am sure there must be some

others maybe Olympus.. With the Sony I shoot on night mode and sometimes on

manual but the only problem with manual is that it shouldn't be any wind

whatsoever due to a shutter speed of 10 to 15 seconds you understand If the

foliage on the tree is moving then you get blurred foliage wich is not so

nice.yes you need a stack of filters to cut the light through....the best

filters are Infrared filters which are expensive and very dark for instance

the Hoya R72 since i couldn't find it easily I improvised my own filters I

use a ND 8 FILTER = a Linear polarizer + a dark red filter I had back to

the old days when I was shooting B&W To get that Dark sky....after shooting

it in infra there's a procedure that has to be done in photosop it's not a

photoshop effect.....Out of the camera the picture is green and it even

looks a bit out of focus am referring on Sony's camera's ...but as soon as

you start editing it, then you get the green foliage white.....and so on

the best time to shoot is on a sunny day till 10.00 in the morning and

after 17.00pm. you need enough light for infra ......yes, Now after editing

it,you come out with an almost black& white photo of course the difference

is that the green foliage is white but the contrast you get from the

foliage turning white with the trunk of the tree is amazing....adjusting

saturation and Hue you get different moods of colour....since it's shot in

RGB.....Then according to your likings you're ready. I hope i was clear

enough. There's so much to say but your best bet would be to go on your

browser and type infrared photography,and you'll come up with lots of sites

dealing with infra for Digital,and conventional photography,

You will find too specific details for the camera you use.

Good luck

PS From the pictures you upload guess you have an Olympus I think you can shoot infrared with it.Good luck

Regards
