I have been reading a fine eBook by Alexandra Morrison ' The Photographer's Digital Infrared Recipe Book' (you can buy a copy at http://nature-photography-central.com/infrared-photoshop-tutorials.html - There is lots of other information too).
I love the Blue Tome photos that come out of the camera but sometimes 'swapping the channels' to get the pink toned images can be very appealing. Add to this the amazing monochrome conversions that can be created from an IR Image there is just too much excitement !!!
There is no one right conversion, after all working with a Digital Infrared Image is a creative process. I am only scratching the surface at the moment.
So below you will see images
- from the camera, the blue tones although some of these have had a Luminosity Blending Change on a monochrome layer to bring out more / different detail.
- You will also see the pink toned images from Chanel Swapping in Photoshop (again most of these are with the Luminosity Blending change on a mono layer)
- and Mono conversions using NIK Silver Effects.
- The first of the three photos of the Konik Ponies has also had a Bleach Bypass Effect added from NIK Colour Efex
What an inventive set of images Barry
