Fun with IR

[Matthew Currie]

That's fine Matthew!
I am using the super blue IR! 
i believe that this is what many of us wanted instead of the deep monochrome IR

Thanks.  I like the results you're getting.

unfortunately, the D70s is too old for this I think. maybe newer cameras will be better? 
i do not want to post process my IR images so I got this instead

They're cool shots, Richard!
So are these straight out of the camera?  I've converted a D80 with an R72 and am about to convert a D200.  I'm struggling a bit with the processing side....

As IR has no given answer and no expectations set in stone, feel free to extract whatever colours that might be hiding inside your RAW file.

I personally consider shooting IR and not looking what's in the file a waste of time, but that's just me. And perhaps including Jakov too.

Yes and No. They look like that out of the camera but I play around with the contrast and saturation in LR  I am too lazy to go to photoshop to swap channels so I chose this "Super Blue IR" filter

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Channel-swap is a clichéd approach to IR anyway.

oh, I dread just to think about the in-depth process of IR processing 

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Actually, it can be a lot of fun to explore the inherent potential. No two frames are identical.

[richardHaw]

that just feels like bringing my work home to me (because that's what I essentially do at the studio)

but I can see that this is a lot of fun for the hacker-at-heart

[brent_e]

thanks for the info, folks. 

I'll keep plugging away.  It's all pretty blazé around here right now (no foliage) and I hope to get some more images under my belt when it perks up.

Fun with IR, on the ice




D5300, 720nm from Kolari, 24-70mm f/2.8

[Bjørn Rørslett]

I think this is about the first time I really coaxed an IR file to disclose its inherent colour potential.

The 20/3.5 Nikkor with a plain 720 nm filter.

The only "true" colour here is that of the reddish brown volcanic rocks, but see that as a coincide not a given restriction to the amazing colour range.

(I was reading John Brunner's novel at the time of shooting)

This is very trippy! Like LSD! 

[brent_e]

Ah....I will reconsider.  Thanks, Fons.

wild capture, Bjørn!

Infrared is loads of fun
