Has it been THAT long?

I've just noticed that my last post was on January 13th. (Obviously no-one visits or I might have had a gentle reminder by now). I have no new photos, but I have one that I was supposed to upload.

Anyway, I think this place is called Murmungee Lookout, was taken on a 'digital day out' at Beechworth, Victoria. Beautiful scenery from up here. (Bloody windy though)
Gear used, as always lately, Minolta DiMage7 used & R72 filter for IR. Processed and converted to B/W, then each colour individually hand coloured. (Each layer in Photoshop, with the blend mode set to COLOUR) The man in the shot wasn't wearing a pinkish / red shirt, but I wanted a point of interest to stand out. Kind of trial and error with this technique.

Road To Nowhere - IR

I thought this title was apt on two parts, one being the road itself, no traffic and seeming to go on for ever and the second part, where I'm trying to go with IR. I really need to set aside sometime and go out explore the many photo opportunities on offer.
