Here's a rather boring shot I took off the mountain today.

It is notable only because the mountains in the distance are usually
not visible and lost in the haze. But today was a clear day.
Now look at the same scene taken with the Totally Infrared D60:

The mountains in the distance seem to jump out at ya.
Infrared is great for cutting through smoke and haze.
I like the second shot very much, but as Troy points out there is a
lot of dark foliage so it doesn't look very IR-ish...
The demo would have been better if it really was the same scene (it's
a different angle and different lighting). And I'm afraid that first
shot looks like a John Navas effort with the smudged foliage (yes, at
'original' size!).
We have a similar-ish valley scene near here (I'm thinking Mt
Tamborine, for the locals), so I might give this a go soon.. I
haven't done much IR, and this is an interesting observation.
The weather isn't very good for landscapes at the moment
And it doesn't look like going away in a hurry according to the
reports
