infra red
I've never really had a chance to play with an infrared filter before. It's fun!
This is completely unedited, and the D40 really doesn't deal very well with extreme white balance so it looks all mad. I quite like the effect though! But I'll probably edit future photos to bring them some way back towards normality...

The people look strangely arranged in this as if they are waiting to be transported to another world. Weird indeed.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Altered Edinburgh, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
These infrared photographs are stunning and show a really magical aspect of Edinburgh.
Because of the filters, they are more Altered Edinburgh than Unreal Edinburgh, hence this invitation. I hope you will accept it.

The figures remind me of Manet.

Sure, no problem at all with the Altered Edinburgh thing. :) ...although reading the group description, I might've decided the complete lack of post-processing disqualified it!
Thanks, all! And yes, nonky, I see what you mean about the Manet thing...

Infrared? I'm confused, surely the tarmac pathway should be brighter than the grass?

Nope, this is *near* infra-red - the portion of the spectrum just outside of human vision, but (barely) within the range picked up by standard camera sensors. As I understand it. So unlike the far infrared we usually hear about, it doesn't show us what's hot and what's not, particularly; foliage tends to be brighter than everything else.
