Must be clouds - 30 second exposure.

Nice shot, I like the style - do you stack a ND grad on an IR for that?

like it a lot
very sharp it seems, which is tricky with IR I find

yeah was taken on a 30sec exposure it was a windy day so the clouds were really shifting. no ND filter just the IR one

Beautiful shot mate. Any chance of a 1280x1024 resolution copy for some wallpaper?

Nice photo. What do I need to make IR photographs?

Infra Red Filter - the Hoya R72 is normally a good one, about £30 from most dealers, cheaper on that auction website. A tripod, definitely a must. IR filters are very, very black to look at and come out with deep red to light pink colours.

That's the equipment side. Then you need to set a custom white balance, which you will do on your camera or in a peice of software called Raw Shooter Essentials (there is a little dropper icon you can use to pick out parts of the photo). Then use something like Irfanview if you want to swap the RGB colours.

That's everything, I think!

Fantastic picture though, better than my first efforts!
