Louise,
This is really a great photo from the standpoint of composition, contrast and shadows. I just checked out your portfolio...I'm duly impressed and doubly grateful, therefore, for the kind words you expressed regarding my "awesome" Buzios boats.
Kind regards,
Michael

My comment regarding the sepia vs neutral/bluish tones was merely reflecting MY preference and not about which is better. For me the IR effect is somewhat lost in the sepia treatment for some reason unknown to me. Just not my favorite. One of the quirks of personal taste.
Thanks Louise for the ISO info since I was just dying to know. I still think (and I already know you agree) that you were livin' on the edge with that shutter speed and handheld. Tsk tsk...

I suppose I should elaborate...We were driving to the family cottage for a big reunion/ get together. The van was packed full of crap so my darling husband unloaded my trusty Manfrotto and my ladder to make room...two essential tools!!!!! I was in a FOUL mood all the way out as I was in no mood for 'family' and watched amazing scenes pass me by whilst my new infrared filter was in my camera bag begging to be used. So I dumped the family and trotted off on my own to shoot some images just for ME!!! Not because I was hired but because I wanted too. Felt good! I returned to the gathering much happier :-) I need to do this more often. Thanks for comments everyone.

Hand-held? That's a steady arm for sure, Luise!! I love IR, and this is very good.

I must first preface that I am a neophyte in pure digital infrared photography, and this is obviously my own opinion. Though I do like the mostly grayscale image Robert Whiteman has composed of your perfectly fine sepia image, and with greatest respect to his outstanding portfolio, I have to take exception with Mr. Whiteman's assessment that infrared images only look better in grayscale or bluish in color. I look for inspiration from the accomplished infrared photographer Steven I. Rosenbaum, who writes about his IR technique in the August 2003 edition of Outdoor Photographer Magazine. Most importantly, and I agree, (paraphrased) ...'that adding the aesthetic buffer of a monochromatic tint, like sepia helps to bridge the gap between state-of-the-art digital infrared images and a time-tested classic photo-imaging technique.'
In my own personal opinion, blue or bluish infrared images can be and often are spectacular when the intent is to portray moonlit or pseudo night imagery. I saw one good example posted on Usefilm just the other day. However, the vast percentage of infrared images are shot to depict the interesting unseen light afforded with an infrared filter. Again, just my verbose opinion. Peace.

What you didn't tell us is the ISO setting. Even then how is it that you left the tripod home? Wouldn't you just hate to come upon "THE SHOT" and realize that you could only pull it off with a tripod? Of course you would.
About this shot, it does look hand-held and the DOF really needs to be large for this type of subject IMO. The wind movement will only show in the foreground and often lends a good effect especially when the buildings and distant elements are sharp. I would get more excited about this if the foreground were in better focus (even with the wind effect) and if it were not sepia. IR photos seem to look better in B&W or almost bluish in color. Maybe it's just a personal preference. I dunno.
If that filter is as dark as you say I guess you have to setup first and then put on the filter to take the shot.(?)
Take the tripod!

Marvelous, Louise. Simply marvelous. I think this is a great subject for your new IR filter- it's a great one to play around with. Nice and steady hand-held job, too. I can't wait to see more.

Thanks for the comments Paolo but an aperture of f/16 would end up with an exposure time in the minutes and would be even MORE soft with the movement of grass in the wind etc. This IR filter is almost opaque and looks like the lens cap is on when trying to compose thru the viewfinder!!
In an image like this I really don't mind a little softness as it is pretty inherant to infrared and that 'soft dreamy' feeling. All a matter of opinion of course! Thanks again.

Wonderful IR Louise. I got a IR filter but have not had a chance to play with yet but I have heard that you do need to use with tripod. Well done. Have fun.

My best compliments Louise!!
First of all for the techical details about lens filter etc...
Then the composition in my humble opinion perfect still the deep of fields is great but the focus is take in the middle of the pic... so it is not so clear in the first third...
Next time take your focus in the first third with an aperture of F/16
very nice IR SHOT
Paolo

Excelentes tons!
Está uma boa composição de uma "landscape" com todos os elementos que a compõem: as construções, os rolos de palha, o vento, as nuvens.
Uma excelente foto.
Parabéns por este trabalho.
