Infra-Red Landscape: 1 Bavaria

I find that using only the infra-red part of the spectrum adds a new and often dynamic perspective to images, especially landscapes where the photosynthesis in green foliage throws off a lot of infra-red energy.

These portfolios contain a range of images taken in Bavaria illustrating the different impact of using infra-red on a range of subjects -- most are taken from various palace gardens (Nyphenburg, Schleissheim, Linderhof, Herrenchiemsee, and the Hofgarden in Munich), but I've also included some more traditional landscapes and lakes as well as several Bavarian baroque churches. As you can see, in many instances the impact from using only the infra-red part of the spectrum is quite dramatic.

These photos were taken using a modified Canon DSLR such that it's sensor is only sensitive to the infra-red part of the spectrum.
