~Some IR Fall Color fun - Oxbow Bend

Pezpix

So I had a chance to tweak one of my fall color photos with some good IR simulation software (I know I know, nothing is as good as a true infrared cameras but I cant afford to convert my 1DsMIII heh).

Anyway, I'm pretty stoked on the results from one shot in particular from Oxbow Bend a couple of weeks ago during a very memorable morning shoot as the low clouds loomed over Mount Moran and the entire range before lifting mid-morning.

Thanks for looking! :thumb

Great photo, very dramatic & I love the reflection & sky What software did you use to convert it?

This is a great pic.

I am also curious as to what IR software you used... Dgrinners are waiting.

peace.

Well, you had me fooled. I thought that was a real IR shot. Looks great, and the processing works very well with the dramatic sky.

Well, a few comments. The shot is perfectly composed, the fake IR is impeccable, and everything about this photo is gorgeous. Except the orange orb near your signature... I find it very distracting.

Tricks of the trade I use a dual process to obtain the IR simulation, first by separating the yellows and reds post-process, and then by using a dodge & burn touch up that helps pull back the clouds and medium elements making the leaves stand out as the only truly white element left.

In the field, I shot this one at f16, ISO 50 for 25 seconds, holding the sky back with a graduated ND 1.2 filter. Thanks for the comments!

Here are a couple of links which detail the IR simulation effect & how you can apply it with PP;

Cool stuff! Thanks for the links.
Infrared photography is such a fun thing to experiment with during fall colors or anytime you have interesting leaves or foreground plants that can show the heat.

Someday I'll hopfully get ahold of a modified IR digital camera. They are so cool!

cool shot! your very talented.

1dsmIII conversion is no big deal, you just get a big screw driver and pry from the left side really hard...
the sensor glass just pops out and walla....its done....
