Description Visited on August 2nd 2011.

This is a beautiful and well visited dolmen just a stone throw from the Baltic Sea. It is sitting in a field next to the little road and cycle path between Rerik and Meschendorf. The capstone has a wheel carving and some cupmarks.

I quite like the effect here, the colours make it look like a frozen mid-winter day. But what filters/effects/whatever have you used to make this picture?

Great shot. Makes me want to visit this dolmen. I would also love to know what settings and filters were used . . .

Thanks folks!
This picture was captured with my Nikon D70. I had it converted to an infrared camera this spring. Now there is no additional filter needed and you can shoot with convetional shutter speeds. The RAW image just needs some trimmings in photoshop (or similar programmes). Here I swapped the blue and red colour channels (otherwise the sky would have a rusty reddish colour).

@Blingo: Yeah, go there! It is really beautiful and in the area there are some other great sites, too (plus have I mentioned the sea?)! ;-)

Thanks for the info Manja. I'm thinking of having a camera converted for my astro-photography. Get's a bit pricey . . .
