《秋收歌》
又是季秋時節，斜陽晚照、禾田隨金浪。
蓑衣阡陌匆匆，金風舞稻、農人稻熟忙。

"Autumn’s Harvest Song"
When autumn sighs late,
Gold fields follow rippling fate.
Straw-cloaked through lanes dart—
Wind curves each ripe grain’s art,
Bowed with time’s full weight.

《秋収の詩》
（しゅうしゅうのうた）

日本語訳：
また実りの秋、
夕陽に ゆれる 黄金の波
蓑着た姿 あぜ道急ぐ
風が 踊らす 稲穂の輪
熟れゆく時を 摘む

18x24 c-hing, I am not familiar with infrared photography.  Did you use film for taking these infrared images? Is the sky still supposed to be blue (instead of green)?

Vince, I am using M8 to take these infrared pictures. From any RAW processing application - I am using Lightroom, they all look "magenta" - monochrome.
Below are my processing steps.

1. RAW processing output to TIFF file - without any adjustment.
2. Photoshop
     2.1 open the TIFF file, then click on "image" -> "adjustment" -> "channel mixer".
     2.2 "Red" channel - set "Red" value to "0", "Blue" value to "100".
     2.3 "Blue" channel - set "Red" value to "100", "Blue" value to "0".
          - the image should now showing "Blue" sky & "pale Yellow/Magenta" plantation.
          - the colors of "Blue" & "pale Yellow/Magenta" & saturation depend on the IR cut off wave length of the filter - I am using Leica's filters & do not know the IR wave length value.
     2.4 save the TIFF file and this is the "IR RAW" file I am using in LR processing.
3. Lightroom (LR)
     3.1 open the "IR RAW" file.
     3.2 adjust as other normal "RAW" files for "color temperature", "exposure", "contrast", etc .....
     3.3 this is my personal steps for IR taste - one has to play with these steps
            3.3.1 adjust color tones (hue)
            3.3.2 adjust color saturation
            3.3.3 adjust color brightness
            3.3.4 repeat 3.3.1 - 3.3.3 as needed

     3.4 output the "IR RAW" to "JPEG" or "TIFF" as one's choice & this is the final image.

I had took some IR slide films in the 80s & eraly 90s. The colors are very vibrant & saturated.
All my digital IR images are tried to imitate the slide film as close as possible.

Here is a link of color IR slide images - [url=https://www.google.com/search?q=color+infrared+film+images&client=firefox-a&hs=66M&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&channel=sb&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=VcBGVJmzK5SryAS124CoDw&ved=0CCIQsAQ]"Infared Film Images"[/url]

Hope this help ....

Wow thanks for the very very detailed explanation!  Now I understand that you are using M8 without UVIR as a near-infrared color camera.  That's very interesting indeed!  You really taught me a lot.  I'd love to try infrared landscape some time but I don't have M8. Let me see what I can manage.

Nice, as always!

I have little opportunity to do landscapes, partly because I live in HK, partly because I have little time to travel around just to do landscapes.  I'd love to get a M8 but don't know what to do if its sensor breaks down.  (Maybe get another one?)  I'm sure things will sort themselves out when I retire, one day hahaha!

Vince, 感謝多番支持 。。。
任何物事皆有期，天會荒、地會老，無滯於物，纔是正道。
M8 若壞，換之。
香港、九龍、新界頗多翠綠風景地方，正好影紅外線。
物為所用、無為其滯。。。
