Flinders Street Station

My infrared version of this famous Melbourne landmark.

Canon EOS450D and 18-55mm kit lens
HOYA R72 filter
f/5.6
ISO400
13sec exposure

So..how did I do it??
Well, the best that I can remember is…..

The image was converted to B&W with a Photoshop Action. Then I duplicated the layer and added a high pass filter to it then used Topaz Adjust on that layer and then altered the Opacity (I can’t remember what method I used when blending the layers…oops). (I may have also inverted this layer and added it aswell to give more contrast).... After combining those layers I then used Topaz Adjust again on the whole image, made it a hidden layer mask and just painted in the details on the building….or something like that!

Flinders Street Station belongs to the following groups:

Australian Landmarks and Icons, Black and White Photography, HDiR – The Marriage of Infrared and HDR, Infrared Photography, JPG Cast-Offs, Shameless Self-Promotion, Street Photography and Photojournalism and Timelapse/Long Exposure Photography

    Whatever the processes involved, the end result is marvellous. My first encounter of this subject was painted by Wayne Roberts. I think I prefer your rendering
