another fine set Gareth. The driftwood is my favourite but like all the 15mm shots assume that's what the driftwood is and the sea weed. Would have liked to see those in colour as well .

just picked up a Pentax 17-70mm f4 and find that very good. My test is the tree tops of a wood over a mile away if that image comes out sharp i'm happy and it did with this lens . Like the max aperture through full focal range as well which i missed after breaking my original copy and used Sigma with variable aperture through zoom range. Re 16-50, had one but found 50 a bit too short.

thanks for looking and the comments. IR can be a love/hate thing sometimes more so with the false colour i think but have found if you can keep the colours close to reality its more acceptable. The 720nm wavelength seems the happy medium for this type of processing as it can let through just enough visible light to be picked out , (usually blue, yellow and red) to make use of with the hue/saturation and colour balance adjustments. NIK viveza is also good for this as you have the control point use available.
The 1stDL and F35-70mm combo is also working well, yet to try the F70-210mm

i think if you and Simon Baxter got together with his take on trees and how he sees them the outcome would be a very interesting set of images. Really enjoyed these.

thanks for all the comments. We found border control very lax John. Will need to go again without wife and dogs to explore further as the house was closed and a lot more of the park to see.
Bought the camera already converted to 720nm Karlo but if going for IR conversion it would probably be my choice or even full spectrum. You can process decent black & white from 720 and there is enough leeway with it to still have some normal light frequency get through for false colour processing whereas with Full spectrum you can use camera for normal photography , IR and i believe UV.
