Afield With the Magic Camera Again

As I drove through town today on the way to the grocery store, I saw this Magnolia tree at the Methodist church.  As I continued on, I started thinking how it might look if I photographed it in infrared.  I visualized the tree as white, and the church would be dark.  So I drove back home and got the IR camera and did this.  It's perfect!  I also took a regular photograph in color, and then I converted the color shot to black & white, so you could see how different the renditions are.

This is the color version, which I then converted to black & white.

  I don't like this black & white nearly as much as the infrared version.  For one thing, the sky is nearly white in this version, and the sky is gray in the infrared version, which I like much better.  Also, the contrast in this photograph more harsh, which I don't like.
