Dear friends,

This week has been really busy, I didn't have any time for Flickr!!! I would like to thank you for getting my previous upload on the Explore Front Page!

This comes from my 'infrared visit' of the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
As I wrote in my previous upload from here, the mood was just amazing. I will for sure get back there.

I'm still waiting for my step up ring to start using my new 24 t/s on infrared.
I have many ideas, but I think many will become useful next year, since leaves have almost completed their falling process.
No leaves = less impact for infrared.



Details
- CANON 5d Mark II, EF 17-40 @ 21 mm, f/8, 129 s, ISO 400
- Mirror Lockup, Phottix TR-90 Remote Shutter
- Hoya R72 (720 nm infrared filter)
- Tripod

The shot
Shot in the Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris.

The Processing

Photoshop (2 minutes processing):

- Converted to black and white using Silver EFEX Pro;
- Added five Soft Light layer to adjust light;
- Removed some noise from the sky using Noise Ninja;
- Resized for the Web (1200px);
- Applied an Unsharp Mask to slightly improve contrast;
- Smart Sharpen + More accurate (On luminosity 'blending mode' with the sky masked off);
- Framing and Signature.
