Taken in IR on my old, converted 300D. I'm really surprised the camera still works - I think I'm at around 50000 clicks on that one. Forgot how to tell.
A little tone mapping. A little blurring in duplicate layers.
I know it isn't black and white, but it is monochrome. The 'other chrome' just happens to be red.
I knew I would be dinged for not B&W. Somewhere, in the back of my head, I remembered that many DPC voters only look at the challenge title and others are quite literal in their interpretation. But, the challenge description reads:
"Use HDR (High Dynamic Range) techniques to create the perfect, rich B/W image. Note that as far as this challenge is concerned, Sepia, Selenium, and other classic toning should be considered part of "B/W"
so I went with it.
