i have to ask you a newbie question... can you use an Infrared lens on your camera and get infrared or do you have to do something else for it to work? Great picture by the way!
The so called "Snow-Effect" is coming from Infrared Filters on the lens or from converted Cameras. Tutorials of making off infrared shots you may find in the tutorial folder of my r72 infrared group [link]
