In Central Oregon, this beautiful park is a treat for photographers. 665 converted Nikon DSLR.

One of my favorite parks to play in. I have shot there on quite a number of occasions but never thought about yanking out my IR camera body. Quite different from the usual views.

Fully agree the place is a photographers paradise and you don't need IR to get some crazy color contrasts.

Thanks Alan. I always bring my IR on road trips. It helps when it can use the same lenses as my regular camera!

I can say the same but I confess I never pulled that camera body out when I was visiting the various John Day Monument units.

What processing got your yellow foliage and the blue sky? Was there a filter on the lens?

The 665 is over the sensor, no lens filter. A red-blue channel swap gets the blue sky, foliage leans towards yellow by default but needs a bit of tweaking to get to a more pleasing result.

A treat indeed. Nice color palette.
