04May05 Bumblebees in IR & Color

Ledyard, CT

Photo a Day, Day 36... Exif data is for the IR shot... The past several weeks I've been pouring over reviews and lots of photos on PBase trying to decide between a 20D and a D70 and so today I figured I'd play with one of the fun features of the Sony F717 I have which I haven't seen done with either of the dSLRs - IR...
Unfortunately, with the leaves just starting to come out here, there was limited subject matter so I gave up and took the R72 and ND8 off and then I found this bumblebee on the Barberry bushes and started taking some shots of him regular. I decided to try it with the filters back on... I got this one shot and then he noticed me and started flying into me... Focus is soft on the IR shot so decided to have a bit of fun in Photoshop and liven it up with one of the other shots took before upseting him with the IR filter...

Very cool work and effect! I like the contrasts between the color and sepia tone.
