Thank you so much to everyone who had very kind things to say about my post and the photos. Much appreciated!

To those who were hoping for a tutorial on the infrared technique I use, never fear! I’ve written an article for TakeGreatPictures.com that includes the tutorial used for the exact same Zen garden image included in my blog post.

You can find the tutorial here:

Thanks again everyone!

[...] I find the desire to push a photo beyond reality usually occurs when Iâ€™m a little disappointed with a photograph that I really thought would turn out better. Most often that disappointment is a result of having had an emotional response to the scene that canâ€™t adequately be captured in a simple photograph. [via Photoshop Insider] [...]

i also found the infrared example most interesting. a pity, that no how-to was provided – or a disappointment.

How did you do the infrared? I love the photo, and your adjustment, thanks for sharing.

I am still pretty new to serious photography. I’ve been a shutterbug for years, but have recently invested more time and a lot more money into improving my photography.

I really enjoyed your post, Tim. My main subject is my 2 year old daughter. Chasing a toddler with a camera makes it extremely difficult to “get the shot” sometimes. Your post reminds me that it’s not a sin to tweak in post-processing so I get the best version of the shot I took.

great examples, Tim
would it be possible for us ps-novices to get a tutorial on how to get this bw-infrared effect applied to our images?
thank you.

@Steve in post #21

I believe they are one and the same. You just have a bit more info put on the name of yours. You can have a look at the Nikon site to see what lenses they have.

On the topic, I think you hit some good points. As said before its not so much creating in photoshop more finishing.

Great post.

Hi Tim,

I’m new back into photography and run into the atmosphere problem all the time. Not always, but enough to know I haven’t captured the spirit of the setting.

And living in Thailand, there’s a lot of spirit to be found so I’ll try your methods of tweaking to share what I’m seeing / feeling / experiencing.

Amazing job with those photos. I love the way the edited versions really tell a story and relate how those places made you feel.

I think the black and white of the prayer sticks with sepia toning ends up looking like the actual color scene. Couldn’t help but think of Ansel Adams, as another reader did, who created shots that continue to frustrate visitors to Yosemite even today. Great post and right on the money–exactly the kind of thing I wrestle with, having a journalism degree as I do and swearing allegiance to the sometimes ugly truth of a scene.

Tim (like SK) is passionate about photography, I get his daily update where he answers a variety of digital imaging questions.

You can sign up for his Digital Darkroom Questions (DDQ) mailing list by visiting his blog or maybe it was his website.
