About the Image(s)

This is a different and sentimental entry for me this month and has been submitted in memory of Arnold.
The image was taken on an empty golf course (because of the weather!!) with a Nikon Coolpix 990 3.34 megapixels which somehow had been converted to Infra Red and had belonged to Arnold and must have been his original IR camera before he got his Nikon D70 converted.
I got the camera as a souvenir and have tried messing about with it, although so far I have not figured out how to change the aperture or convert it to a Tiff which according to the Manual I downloaded you can do. Also the images come out Mono as you can see and not the usual pink colour. As you will also see I have mucked up the original in trying to get rid of overhanging branches, and cannot get back to the original on my computer somehow. Because it is winter here, no foliage to show IR effect except for grass. But here goes.

Used Nik Silver Ef X to get a decent Mono. and cropped image from Right getting rid of figure and also a crop from the base. The small hump near the far tree was cloned out.
Used Levels to get a decent histogram and then B/C to brighten things up a bit.
Selected a tone in Nik then in PS picked up the colour of tone as near as possible and used a graduated filter on right to tone down the bright area there, using opacity to try and even things out a bit.
Finally used a little sharpening to highlight the trees.
I know this will not print to any great size, but have printed it out on A5 art paper which I am pleased with, perhaps for obvious reasons!
