I was intrigue by infrared photography. This is done by 72 Hoya filter. It gives me a feeling of serenity.

Why are the leaves so white like snow flakes? Do you use Photoshop to convert to B/W. If yes, I think you can do a much better job particularly in this picture. How did you do a infrared here? Any tip will be appreciated.

@Shuva Brata Deb: Hi Shuva, the leaves are white because it's an infrared process. I used IR filter on top of my lens. It's very dark so you have to adjust everything 1st before you put the filter on. I use ISO 800, 30" secs exposure and f11. Itm will be more powerful if the sky is dramatic with the lakes and some grass....
Here's an article that gives you more info about IR:
