I liked how the rocky dry run off area drew my eyes towards the line of trees. The heavily clouded sky gave the image depth. Find me on facebook https:--www.facebook.com-danwampler

Congrats, and thanks for submitting this to my challenge.
I selected this image for its clarity and composition. This goes beyond channel swapping for false color, as the editing brings some great hues to the IR image.

Behind The Lens
Location
In Saint Louis, Missouri at Forest Park. Forest Park is located in the Western Park of St Louis city and encompasses 1,371 acres. It was opened in 1876 and is famous as the location of the 1904 Worlds Fair, and the 1904 Summer Olympics. Many areas within the park as so well maintained that in images it can appear that you are in the middle of nowhereTime
This image was taken on 11/02/13 at 12:44 pm. It was a very cool morning, with a slight overcast and felt as though it could rain at any minute. I made this after photographing a charity run in the park. As I drove by, the sky looked so ominous.Lighting
This is a 3 exposure HDR Infrared image shot at 665nm. f8.0 1/60sec, 1/125sec, 1/250sec. ISO 100, Lens 18mm. I didn't have my tripod with me, so I sat down and braced my arms on my knees to stabilize the camera.Equipment
This was made using a Canon 50D converted to Enhanced Color Infrared at 665nm by Life Pixel Infrared. The lens was a Tamron SP AF 10-24mm F3.5-4.5 Di II LD AsphericalInspiration
I had just finished 3 hours of shooting, it was so bitterly cold and I was tired but I felt as though I needed to capture at least one scenic Infrared image before leaving the park. As I approached the area, the clouds seemed to move together and form a barrier behind the trees. There was light, but no shadows. I had to stop and shoot it. I sat on the cold damp ground and mentally told myself to hurry up. I took a few series of 3 images exposures, and them hurried back to car.Editing
The images was processed using Photoshop CS5, NIK HDR Efex Pro2, NIK Color Efex pro4, and NIK Dfine2. The Red and Blue channels were swapped. I liked how the rocky dry run off area drew my eyes towards the line of trees. The heavily clouded sky gave the image depthIn my camera bag
I usually leave with one color camera, and two IR converted cameras; one at Enhanced Color IR at 665nm, and one Super Color IR at 590nm. My main lens is my Tamron 10-24mm, I also carry a 40mm pancake f2.8, an 18-200mm, and a 17-55mm. Sometimes a 50mm 1.8.Feedback
Infrared is an exciting and challenging type of photography. I think too many IR photographers tend to stay away from color IR because it does require a great deal of post production. The other thing I have learned from doing IR HDR is it is better to have 3 images that are slightly under exposed rather than over exposed.
