Ooh.. the only gate people would not like to open up for them....

Beautiful, but would have been even better at a larger F-stop, so the background was less in focus.

Thats amazing! Just curious, what does infrared exactly do to a photo?

awesome capture!!!!!!

Looks like an old 1950's monster movie!

First of all, thankyou all for the nice comments!! TankRed, infrared photography is the art of capturing invisible light. In my case, I use a dslr that has had the inner filter that actually blocks ir rays removed and replaced with another one that allows max ir rays. In doing this, you can no longer take normal color pictures but it has loads of artistic capabilities. I have set the white balance by taking a photo of some green leaves or grass that is well lit and use that color as my white balance. Some ir filters allow more ir rays through than others, that is where the unique colors come from. I do the processing on mine in Lightroom with some custom settings that I have developed just for the certain cameras I use.

Cool - he lloks like a statue

"Lujog" ? Nice pic

We don't have a lot of Romanians on the site, so by saying on each photo that it was taken in Romania, tends to give away your anonymity.

@friiskiwi: and that's a bad thing? :-?

Yes, voting is anonymous, and anything that gives away your identity, is likely to get your image removed.
