The Gaur stand out nicely against the light background. Nice pose and composition. Infrared gives a very different feel to the image :). Thanks for sharing.

Lovely. Quick question... How do the results vary with an IR modified sensor vs using an IR filter (high quality say B+W) on a lens?

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Bibhav,
There is a big difference. The focus shifts with the filter. And also depending upon the brands they block the visible spectrum a lot. And the quality is different. In these shots, I haven't used artificial IR lights at all. The exposure was based on the available light plus whatever IR is available in the normal daylight.

These days the only still photography I am doing is in infrared.

Tall, gives a fiery look like a challenging buffalo, difference from low to ground type clearly visible. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
