Thanks, Attila - people often ask if the IR effect is snow or hoar
frost, especially in B&W images. I should try some IR shots of snow and
frost and see what happens...

Nice gallery overall, the first image is particularly striking. IR
gives interesting colours, it looks like snow.

Something for everyone - color infrared, mono infrared, and straight color
shots with the K3.
A few technical comments beyond what I wanted to put in my blog:
The first shot is color IR because otherwise the leaves of the tree and the
overcast sky virtually blend together. The color gives much better tonal
separation.
I took the second shot in both IR and color (K10D and K3). Invisible in the
IR shot but distracting in the color shot is a good bit of dead foliage in
the foreground. So instead of getting a nice green frame around the sunken
boat there is a distracting green and brown mess of foliage. The IR shot
rendered as mono worked best.
This was the only loation where I used the Takumar F 70-200 and that was to
get frame filling shot of the shipwreck out in the bay. The lens is wickedly
sharp and the detail in the old hulk of a boat is interesting at actual
pixels since you can see a lot of detail - but a smaller image showing just
the wreck out in the water without context is not interesting so it didn't
get posted. At the end of the day I could have lived without any lens longer
than 70mm.
The third shot was probably the most technically challenging in that there
was a persistent glare off the wood hull of the sunken boat and the algae
around it. I was glad I packed a polarizing filter. With the polarizer and a
little post exposure processing things came out OK.
Thanks for looking and comments appreciated.
