An experiment into optical IR filter vs Photoshop filter technique, fortunately this scene is well lit from the sun behind me allowing me to get dark blue skies without any filters, if the sky was much brighter than the scene and containing clouds in which I wanted to retain detail, then I would have been best to use an optical gradated filter to darken the sky to prevent it from being burnt out as Photoshop would never be able to get the highlight details back once burnt out in the camera.

Now for my self-portrait - in an ultraviolet art installation in a small room with mirrors.
