I like the roughness of this photo!!! I wanna run through the tall grasses!!! This is cool in IR!!!

@Lost Valley View: Thanks you, but with Texas heat and humidity I highly doubt you would wanna run, just kidding.

What I like most is the sensation of freedom you get watching the photo.
And yes, it makes you wish you could run through all that grass...

I love these wide open rural spaces!! Looks like I could run through that for miles!! Lovely composition, Amir. Especially with the IR, IMO it gives it this sense of timelessness!

@Rebecca: Yes, Texas is kind of under-developed state so one sees a lot of this everywhere.
@Masume: Thanks Masume jan, hope you have a nice day.
@Brian: Thanks Brian.

Nice solitude but warm at the same time.

Great colours and tones - I'm really attracted to the textures in the trees and how they contrast with those of the field.

@Aidan Hammond: Thanks a bunch my friend.
@Inés: Thanks for your visit.

If you want to get a really good idea of how much of the state is undeveloped, you should see a map that represents the density of electric load. Whole counties are empty in some regions like West Texas and the Panhandle. I've read that since most digital cameras have built-in IR blocking filters, when you use an IR filter you have to greater increase your exposure times. Do you find that to be the case?

@Twelvebit: Thanks for information on Texas.
About IR, of course depending on your camera the IR blocking filter varies in strength. The rule of thumb is that older camera have weaker blocker, therefore more suitable for IR. My Canon A640 has pretty descent IR sensitivity but not that sensitive to render tripod useless, if you know what I mean. You still need tripod to manage good and fairly crisp shot with IR filter in front. Needless to say that with increase in ISO one would probably be able to take hand-held shots, but at that point noise becomes an issue.
Hope to have answered your question properly. Thanks for coming.
@fred: Thanks

I feel hot when I look at this. I gives me a sense of heat i don't know why, might be because of that line of brightness in the middle. Nice job.

@Hamid: Thanks for your kind input Hamid jan.
