I just did a cool (as in heat, not "cool" as in being same - which I
am, let's face it) IR conversion of a RAW image I shot yesterday.

It's interesting, but it looks a little washed out to me. Try doing the
same thing to the first fence picture you put up here.

And, tell me some great things about my creek picture taken at Seneca Rock,
West Virginia. If you're really nice, I'll post a shot of the rocks
themselves.

Thank you, thank you...I'm gushing with happiness and joy and rapture

Ok - it's over exposed on the right which suggests that you used the
spot meter function instead of the field meter. The total field is
under saturated for color with the light coming in from one side
rather than from above or from your back - the color washes out going
left to right and from top to bottom - suggesting that you needed a
higher shutter with a different apateure setting. It also would have
helped to use a Neutral Density Filter - probably a factor 4 reducing
the f stop by two would have helped a lot - would have made you a
little more flexiable in any case.

Hey, you asked. :)

SUBTITLE:'HARRY "SNAPPER" ORGANS'


Organs
Doug and Dinsdale Piranha now formed a gang, which the called 'The
Gang' and used terror to take over night clubs, billiard halls, gaming
casinos and race tracks. When they tried to take over the MCC they were for
the only time in their lives, slit up a treat. As their empire spread
however, we in Q Division were keeping tabs on their every move by reading
the colour supplements.
Presenter A small-time operator who fell foul of Dinsdale Piranha was
Vince Snetterton-Lewis.
Cut to Vince in a chair in a nasty flat.
Vince Well one day I was sitting at home threatening the kids, and I
looked out of the hole in the wall and sees this tank drive up and one of
Dinsdale's boys gets out and he comes up, all nice and friendly like, and
says Dinsdale wants to have a talk with me. So he chains me to the back of
the tank and takes me for a scrape round to Dinsdale's. And Dinsdale's there
in the conversation pit with Doug and Charles Paisley, the baby crusher, and
a couple of film producers and a man they called 'Kierkegaard', who just sat
there biting the heads of whippets and Dinsdale said 'I hear you've been a
naughty boy Clement' and he splits me nostrils open and saws me leg off and
pulls me liver out, and I said my name's not Clement and then he loses his
temper and nails my head to the floor.
Interviewer (off-screen) He nailed your head to the floor?
Vince At first, yeah
Cut to presenter.
Presenter Another man who had his head nailed to the floor was Stig
O' Tracey.
Cut to another younger more cheerful man on sofa.
Interviewer Stig, I've been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to
the floor.
Stig No, no. Never, never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to give
his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.
Interviewer But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing
your head to the floor.
Stig Oh yeah, well - he did that, yeah.
Interviewer Why?
Stig Well he had to, didn't he? I mean, be fair, there was nothing
else he could do. I mean, I had transgressed the unwritten law.
Interviewer What had you done?
Stig Er... Well he never told me that. But he gave me his word that
it was the case, and that's good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he
didn't want to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let
me off. There's nothing Dinsdale wouldn't do for you.
Interviewer And you don't bear him any grudge?
Stig A grudge! Old Dinsy? He was a real darling.
Interviewer I understand he also nailed your wife's head to a coffee
table. Isn't that right Mrs. O' Tracey?
Camera pans to show woman with coffee table nailed to head.
Mrs. O' Tracey Oh, no. No. No.
Stig Yeah, well, he did do that. Yeah, yeah. HE WAS A CRUEL MAN, BUT
FAIR.
Cut back to Vince.
Interviewer Vince, after he nailed your head to the floor, did you
ever see him again
Vince Yeah.....after that I used to go round his flat every Sunday
lunchtime to apologize and we'd shake hands and then he'd nail my head to
the floor
Interviewer Every Sunday?
Vince Yeah but he was very reasonable about it. I mean one Sunday
when my parents were coming round for tea, I asked him if he'd mind very
much not nailing my head to the floor that week and he agreed and just
screwed my pelvis to a cake stand.
Cut to man affixed to a coffee table and a standard lamp.
Man He was the only friend I ever had.
Cut to block of concrete with a man upside down with his head buried in
it.
Block I wouldn't head a word against him.
Cut to a gravestone, which says: 'R.I.P. and Good Luck, Dinsdale'.
Voice Lovely fella.
Cut to presenter.
Presenter Clearly Dinsdale inspired tremendous loyalty and terror
amongst his business associates, but what was he really like?
Cut to a bar.
Gloria I walked out with Dinsdale on many occasions and found him a
most charming and erudite companion. He was wont to introduce one to eminent
persons, celebrated American singers, members of the aristocracy and other
gang leaders.
Interviewer (off screen) How had he met them?
Gloria Through his work for charity. He took a warm interest in Boys'
Clubs, Sailors' Homes, Choristers' Associations, Scouting Jamborees and of
course the Household Cavalry.
Interviewer Was there anything unusual about him?
Gloria I should say not. Dinsdale was a perfectly normal person in
every way. Except is as much as he was convinced that he was being watched
by a giant hedgehog whom he referred to as Spiny Norman.
Interviewer How big was Norman supposed to be?
Gloria Normally he was wont to be about twelve feet from nose to
tail, but when Dinsdale was very depressed Norman could be anything up to
eight hundred yards long. When Norman was about, Dinsdale would go very
quiet and his nose would swell up and his teeth would start moving about and
he'd become very violent and claim that he'd laid Stanley Baldwin. Dinsdale
was a gentleman. And what's more he knew how to treat a female impersonator.
Cut to dark-suited loony in armchair.
