Description
An infrared/full-spectrum capture of one of the 2 lakes of Meudon Forest, a huge and beautiful forest that is near Paris.There is an interesting legend about this forest: eons ago a dragon was battled into submission by a human warrior who gave the dragon the choice between death or leaving the forest surface to go hide and live under its ground. I forgot the name of said warrior but he is of the type that is called "sauroctone saints" as we say in french. All "sauroctone saints" are killers of reptiles = this is the true meaning of the expression!
I honestly don't appreciate the way my species tend to always divide things, people, actions and creatures between 2 categories: the good one or the bad one.
Black and white thinking truly is a problem on this planet (when there actually IS some "thinking" going on!) but I guess that's another story... Or a very long one that grounds itself into our very own history of creation...
Whatever!
This is the same spot where I shot my "Turning Night Into Day" I, II and III and also where I got to make very first stellar shooting session.
Full-spectrum Nikon+CPL+custom WB
Auto-curves and little contrast boost with Photoshop
Enjoy

Nice photo! I like how you can really see the difference between IR only, and full spectrum here (aside from the colours obviously), as the sky's really bright!

Yeah, but in IR only the sky doesn't become this bright, does it? I meant like, you can see that there's visible light in this photo too

Yep, and this is the exact reason I always shoot with underexposing of 2 stops -not sure you call it this way in english (or what is the maximum possible to deliberately set underxposure with cam) not to get blown captures by daylight
I found this on my very one full-spectrum shooting session and I was so happy to get to correct it! cheeers
