Came across this when I was searching for 28 mm captures. This is an IR capture at night (January, so deep into the dark winter), done with Nikon D200 and the 28/3.5 Nikkor K. The image is completed in-camera.
IR is not all about white foliage and black skies.

Please continue to point out that "IR is not all about white foliage and black skies." as often as you wish. Fascinating.
-
Care to share how you made it in camera, or are we about to play the guessing game again?
-
Jakov, you know me better than so ... making the most of window reflections in the dark city night. Nothing more fancy.
If I can do it, so can you.

I was thinking a multiple exposure, but then I am not aware that the D200 had that feature :)
-
No multiple exposure. Even had the D200 that feature, aligning exposures hand-held at at 1/30 sec would be far beyond my capability.

I'm usually running on autonomous spinal reflexes in conjunction with this kind of photography, so reconstructing the process later can be quite tricky or even downright impossible. The .xmp file(s) generated by the RAW converter(s) might allow me to re-do the processing later, but not necessarily facilitate the way of thinking.
Here is the capture one or two frames before the "night in the city" picture already posted, as found with its final rendition in my archive. From this I can only speculate I moved a few steps to the side to include more of the reflections generated by nearby office buildings.

I'm silently enjoying this thread... :)

A kind of fascinating mysteries ;)

Wonderful and fascinating capture.

People are perhaps reading too much into this.
From the archived shots of that day, I conclude I was moving from a shopping mall in the city Centre towards my usual bus stop outside the Prime Minister's Office quarter. The 'Night in the City' frame is the last in the sequence.
Towards the end of the walk, I started making hard-contrast pictures. This is one of the last frames, depicting the call box for official vehicles to the rear of the Government Building (with the Prime Minister's headquarters on the top floors). This is captured 10 metres away from what would become a terror blast site just one and a half year later, a devastating massive bomb (1 ton of explosives) blast that destroyed the entire block and killed several people. One can appreciate the processing had commenced to take on a gritty character.
