Ian allowed me to play with a couple of images so here they are. I use a free channel swap action download from Kolari so that was the first thing i did,worked ok with the bridge image not so good with landscape, the sky had odd colouration around bright clouds .With both i put back into Camera Raw Filter and used white balance dropper and selected the foliage, far hillside on 1 , foreground tree on 2. this gave decent starting point. Just to say the start point would have had more to play with in the RAW file than the jpeg.
1.went over with a light dodge brush to brighten the whites, selected sky then hue/sat. to make more blue than the cyan it was, reduced vibrance a bit, selected bridge used hue/sat to change colour to more of a stone look which then adjusted to suit, a bit of dodge and burn to bring out shaded areas on far side

2. Due to problem with sky i decided B&W so into my favourite NIK Silver Efex, subtle glow followed by a bit of texture adjustment back to photoshop for an increase in contrast.

looking good MrB like all of the b&w , not sure about the colours in the false colour. Kolari do a downloadable channel swap action for Photoshop which can be adapted for not only 720 but also for other values of IR

From our sky this morning. I think the 2nd one looks like a rabbit jumping into a whirlpool

bought an early tamron 70-200mm f2.8 cheaply with damaged filter thread collar. Price for one on the net around £70-80 so contacted Tamron to see if they had the part, got the reply that they have , price is £8.58 and on its way to me. Good to see profiteering is still going well on the net

have bought a fair bit from them and never been disappointed, in fact a few things i would have rated higher than they did

a good set. 2 is my pick. Having used filters in the past i found the long shutter speeds the biggest problem especially with even a slight breeze and anything that moved such as any vegetation. Finding a Pentax converted camera is like looking for a needle in a haystack and the usual one is the K-01. Was lucky enough to pick up a converted !stDL. Would suggest just keep looking and hopefully something will turn up as using a converted camera is no different to using standard camera i.e. normal shutter speeds. Good luck with your progress, i find in the weather we have had i am doing much more IR than standard photography and enjoying it more.
