Thermal Infrared. Where in the H#@% would one use something like that?? Well, it's always a good idea to ask oneself, "What if...?" And the most important thing is that no matter what you do...nobody gets hurt!! So, why not try everything you can think of? Sue and I went out on a really nice, delicate snow to shoot for our holiday card image. We liked these trees a lot, but didn't want to do the same thing everyone does. So I started hitting a bunch of Color Efex Pro filters that I don't normally use and after pressing Thermal Infrared on this snow image, it took on the look of a batik style image. The dramatically downsized, framed image on the card worked well for us and gave the card the appearance of a high end fine art card. Moral to the story: If you come across a filter that you never intend to use.....use it. Spend a few minutes with it. You may be surprised at what happens.

Tony, this blog is a wonderful idea. I've been trying to post Nik stuff and haven't gotten to it yet. The way you handled it with the before and after is great. Also you give enough detail so I can learn what you use. I met Laurie at Nanpa 2010 at the Nik booth. Hope to meet you in the Palouse or on the West Coast soon. http://gretchen-thompson.blogspot.com/
