You certainly got this conversion right! It is amazing with the glowing blues and translucent peachy color! Love the composition of the tree trunk in the foreground and the 2 buildings on either side and the way the 2 IR tones are spread throughout the image, giving depth and so many interesting lines and small layers to look at. Did it come out of the camera pretty much like this? I can imagine a series in this style creating a dramatic focal point on a wall.

Lovely soft colors and light! The IR really worked here. It seems that converting a camera is just the first step. A lot of post p. is still needed to get the results desired.

The hues and composition are pleasing. Now that I've looked at Dennis' version, I prefer the toned down blues--the image has more unity to it. Perhaps you could keep the op but tone down just the blue in the lower section of the left building, behind the bush, and in the building to the right, which tends to draw my eye. I trust we will see more of this type of work from you.

Hi Jackie, I like the original as well. I think the blue adds a nice dramatic element and the color is different from the normal blues we see. I like the interesting colors that a color IR conversion creates. I like the composition also; the elements are nicely placed in the frame.

This looks like a lovely garden to explore -- this is my kind of intimate landscape! Well done!
I love IR and have had a lot of fun with my conversion -- I have the same filter, on my old original 5D. I've found that I get very nice results just taking the OOC file (maybe a little tonal tweaking in LR / ACR) and going right to Nik Silver Efex for a B/W with a different look. You've given me the bug to get away from birds for a while and go shoot some scenes!
An alternative to adding a pixel layer of a solid color and reducing the opacity as needed (and sometimes setting a blend mode), you could also try a Hue-Sat or Selective Color adjustment layer. In some cases you may not even need to select the color to make a mask, since the adjustment will work only on a certain range of colors. Or sometimes a more casual brushing on the layer mask will suffice, to remove the effect from certain areas and leave it for others.
With a partially opaque layer you have some loss of contrast because you are looking through a pixel layer. These issues are avoided with a color adjustment layer and it's easier to tweak the color later.

Yes Anita, I am quite excited about this. I have been experimenting for a few weekends now, and hope to delve very deeply in to learning more about the whole subject and shooting and processing. Dianne I did use a filter from CEP because it gave a final look that I liked. (Duplex) Many different directions are possible, thanks for commenting everyone!

Jackie, thanks for posting the right-out-of-the camera version. That really helps to visualize what goes on. Will look forward to more as you explore this. You'll most likely will inspire some of us to follow along!
