They both are exact same composition, it has not been recomposed at all, no change in placement.

To really understand nature photography, try books like John Shaw's Nature Photography Field Guide.

Oh ok. My bad, percieved the wrong meaning of composition to be that of color (like the color composition). Thanks.

Wish the expressways were smoother, or is it just the indica's aging shockers

Magicians never reveal their secret because it will sound so simple after that.

Here is a hint. Slow shutter speed through windshield.

Very good effect tanveer.

BTW, here are some IR photos I took today, my first attempt actually.

Samu the PS sucks, go to B&W in channel mixer and boost up the green for True IR effect.
Not really your fault, you need to put cam in IR mode and also put a filter in front so that it does not get visible light.
The Sony night shot just moves the IR filter from front of the CCD. The additional step is to put a filter in front which kills all visible light from reaching the filter, so you get pure IR.
Till you get a filter, google some and you will find that certain "Film" can act as a good IR filter after processing.

Oh, I didn't use PS, just used Picasa to do color/brightness correction. Guess I need to do more research into using my F-717 in IR mode.
