This is a considerably more stylized image using Silver Efex Pro. After adjusting in LR 2.6 I used the pinhole camera preset then reduced the effect.D3, Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 @ 145mm, 1/40 @ f/8, ISO 200, tripod.
Nikon D100, ISO 200, 105mm Micro w/Polarizer and Hoya R72 Infrared filters, f/16 @ 1/6s, Bogen tripod and ball head. The original is dark red and very flat, despite the backlight. Retouching in Photoshop CS4 to remove coins on the upper left pad and a stray leaf on the foreground pad, then Sepia conversion in Lightroom 2. After some hit and miss results, I find that the best workflow for digital Infrared is to edit in Photoshop first, then finish up in Lightroom.
Not much greenery downtown this afternoon, but that's ok with black and white. Computer crashed or I would have tried to fix the perspective of the building on the left ... this was taken at 10 mm with Canon's 10-22 mm wide angle lens. Specs: ISO 100, f7.1, 1/125 sec. with a Canon Digital Rebel.
