    Another nice one Craig. The colors are beautiful. Sometime I'd like you to post the original IR image before colorizing (just curiosity on my part as I did a lot of IR spectrophotometry in grad school).

    I concur. Looks great. For the uninitiated of us here, can somebody explain how an IR gets colored like that? Is it an intensely manual operation, or are there certain tools that facilitate this?

    Howdy Skippy,

    They had the Grounds decorated for Fall, and they also have gardens on the Grounds, I am sure it was part of the Christmas decorations.

    Howdy Chris,

    Houmas House Plantation is one stunning beautiful place, we just loved it and even went back the Next day after the Wedding to shoot in the Daylight hours.

    Howdy Joel,

    Thanks for the kind reply, the "False Color" is introduced in PS by using the Channel Mixer and swapping the red and blue channel values in each one. Also, there are a lot of working with the Hues and levels that affect each image, and as they are all different with different lighting values and features they all come out somewhat different from each other.
    Take care,

    I think you should be banned. You keep posting this crap and we're all going to have to get our perfectly good cameras converted just to try to keep up.







    Uh, VERY tongue in cheek :D

    I like this one even more than the bench. But it does seem to be your MO be able to find an interesting subjet with an element that leads the eye right to it.

    Fabulous! thumb.gifthumb.gifthumb.gif

    Morning Troublemaker:D:D:D,

    Thanks very much, so much of it is in the numbers, I shoot a tremendous amount of images, try many different comps and angles, and love to travel and luckily have a childs curiousity for everything so I am always wandering around and away.

    I started out shooing IR about 5-6 years with a Sony F717, it was so made for IR, all you had to do was put it in Nightshot Mode, screw on an R-72 IR filter, and a ND8 filter and you were in business. The images processed either in B&W or False Color with pretty nice results. The Group I was shooting with at the time was really into it so they drug me into it and helped me learn.

    The Natural progression was then to move into a modded DSLR, since the 2 drawbacks of shooting with the Sony was, small files, and slow shutter speeds and F-Stop. The Modded D70S that I acquired I immediately sent it off to LifePixel for the Mod, at the time all they offered was the standard R72 Type of Filter replacement. The Modding was done and returned within a week and I have loved it every since. There are plenty of camera's out there that combined with a IR Filter can/will produce stunning IR images, the main drawbacks are shutterspeed and therefore movement in the trees or water, or subject can induce blur, but sometimes that's a neat added feature.

    So, you might look at the gear you have now, get either a B&W or R72 type of Filter and give it a try.

    All for now, Thanks for your nice comments along the way, Kindest Regards,

    Craig
