Finally, some blue skies...

and it wasn't blowing a "hoolie". I've had this Hoya infrared filter for quite some time and have been waiting to play with it when spring made its appearance. I have been wanting to convert one of my Nikons to infrared but have wanted to play with it for awhile before making that commitment. I only shoot RAW and don't use Photoshop where color channel swapping might help to process an image with color so I opted for Nikon Silver Efex and am pleased with the end result.
Any infrared input would be appreciated...
Until the early 20th century, infrared photography was not possible because silver halide emulsions are not sensitive to longer wavelengths than that of blue light (and to a lesser extent, green light) without the addition of a dye to act as a color sensitizer.[2] The first infrared photographs (as distinct from spectrographs) to be published appeared in the February 1910 edition of The Century Magazine and in the October 1910 edition of the Royal Photographic Society Journal to illustrate papers by Robert W. Wood, who discovered the unusual effects that now bear his name.
