IR-B&W (many pictures)

I especially like the bridge shot.

These obviously underwent some digital PP, but my question is whether or not you used a physical IR filter on the lens, or was the IR effect achieved solely through the use of Photoshop filter?

Or a combination of the two?

I have the same question. since i see no Sun in your picture and no motion blurr etc. Must me an IR camera or software converted.

Very nice please tell the details
 
Thanks!

There is no sun in the pictures because it was raining today (great for reflections). I used an IR-Filter (a real one :-)) and did a lot of post processing: converting to b&w, increasing contrast, saturation, solarization, dodging/burning and sharpening. I guess every picture took me 20 Minutes. I hate pp, but i hope the results are worth the work.

I like how you've chosen non-traditional subjects for IR (i.e. something other than trees on the riverfront). The contrast is striking. The shot with the puddle and reflection is quite good, but my favourite is the last shot, the one with the staircase.

Nicely done, I enjoyed looking at them. I particularly liked the use of negative as compared to the building's reflection in the puddle of water. Or the one fellow normal against all else negative in the 4th picture. I've fiddled with selective negative and other such effects and found them to be both interesting and different. Well done.

The shots are great. My favorites are the puddle shot and the bridge, i find the texture incredible in that one.

What shutter speed did you use for the shots with the people in them? How did you get off getting so little blur using a physical filter? And i presupposing you used the Hoya filter and the D70, right?
 
Thanks Sebastian!

I have an old IR-Filter, honestly spoken i don't know the brand. For sharpening i used a Photoshop-Action (sharpening in 40 Steps) which is great, so blur was not a problem. I can send it to you if you are interested.

Nice that someone noticed it. :-)

Thanks,
Noticing what we look at is what makes photography the pleasure that it is.
