this shot was taken early in the morning around 7. There was a slight fog/mist/haze in the air...
nope recent digicams cant use infra red filters due to the ccds/cmos in the case of my 300d... always create achieve a dreamy images, since IR's not possible, so resorted to ps.
the colours and soft light quality are done using photoshop. the use of photoshop here is merely to enhance the theme, not to alter the integrity of the image, and i thought it worked pretty well here.
