and yes of course , it’s a Photoshop work and I will post a tutorial soon in my blog on how to create an ordinary photo into a stunning work of art
I’ve been seriously involved with digital photography (as a hobby of course : ) since i bought the Nikon D50, and since then I’ve done some experiments with Digital photography. By far, my most interest is Infrared photography, it’s like seeing a different world… it opens a window on a parallel world different to the one we usually see..
There are several ways to do IR photography, some people use a special converted IR camera, and other use filters, well I preferred the second way, It’s cheaper :). I used Infrared filter from Cokin, P007, or James bond filter, that’s what people are used to called this filter.
Taking an IR photo needs a special setup in the camera, you have to do some custom white balance for the camera, with IR filter attached, point the camera to a white paper or green grass and set the WB… and you also have to do some post production with Photoshop.. there are several tutorials on the net how to do these things.
For sure, to take a perfect IR photo, you need a lot of practice, i mean a lot 
Well these are some of my IR photo gallery
It’s time to go to the next level of Digital Photography, but I still keep my ‘little’ gear ( canon A80), it’s still a great camera but since my passion in photography keep growing and growing, I need more powerfull camera to fullfill my passion. Nikon D50 is the perfect solution for prosumer DSLR, it’s not so expensive, but it’s has a very great feature. Well in DSLR camera, the camera is not so important, I mean it’s important of course, but the most important is the lens :). The camera came with the standard kit lens (Sigma 18-50mm), but I think I need a lens that suit for all occasion, for macro, landscape, telezoom.. and the sigma 18-200mm is the best choice by far, but since the price is almost as a new camera ;p so maybe I have to save my money to get that lens….
These are my art photography’s gallery in 2 different Photography sites, some of them are already taken with D50

I used a Photoshop to paint the sky, and a little burn, level and Hue saturation around the picture
This picture also won an “FPE” (Foto Pilihan Editor) or Editor’s Choice Photo award at www.fotografer.net, an Indonesian Photographer Community, what a nice surprice

The temp at that place was around -2C that day, this picture was shot on december 2005, that place is called Werdersee, about 10 minutes by train from my place.. It’s a beautiful place, lot’s of wild duck try to get people attention and hoping to get a piece of cookies
Well since my camera basically was a pocket camera, not an SLR ;p , so I have to get very close to those ducks in order to get a beautiful shot… and yes, my camera (Canon A80) has a flip LCD, so i’t very easy to get a ‘ low angle shot’ …
