When there are a number of images in a post (in this case, 8), I always find it difficult to provide constructive criticism on the individual images and can only think in terms of a general view about the set. And, insofar as that is the case, this, I think, is a very imaginative and well executed set. I think you have used IR for appropriate scenes ( I sometimes feel people who shoot infrared don't always think about whether to really works for the scene)s). In this case, I think it does.

Thanks for the input. I think you might be right about posting too many photos. I mostly do it because, as a busy person, I don't get the chance to upload images very often. So when I do have the time I feel like I should get them all up. Do you shoot IR too? I am still very much a beginner. What sort of things wouldn't you shoot in IR? I did take my converted camera to the zoo today with my kids and I should say that a camel in infrared looks kind if silly :). Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the compliment! I have always thought IR picture were cool. That is honestly almost all I shoot in these days. I first started using a Hoya 72 filter on my canon T3i. I got only Average results. I really didnt enjoy shooting at the extremely slow shutter speeds that the filter required. It meant I couldnt shoot people and clouds were always blurry. So, I sent in my older Canon XS into Lifepixel (250$) to have it permanently converted to IR only. I used their enhanced IR filter. They have a choice of about five different ones. The videos on their website are very instructive. Now I can shoot at any shutter speed, so I dont have to lug around a tripod everywhere. It was well worth the investment. In fact, when I finally upgrade to a full frame camera, I plan on coverting my Canon T3i into infrared and selling my XS. If you feel thatnyou might be really interested, I would go fr th full conversion. Otherwise you'll spend the money on a filter and then be frustrated when you can't donwhat you want. Good luck!
