A couple of weeks back (What’s in Color?), I mentioned my explorations in infrared photography techniques. As part of this exploration, I’m expanding some of my processing approaches. To this end, I am working my way through a course by the folks of Creative Light & IR (link). With this course, they also provide a large number of profiles for lots of different cameras; these profiles enable the processing of the RAW files in a more standard workflow.
Let’s take a look at an image that has gone through part of the process…
This image is a view of the lovely pond at Tower Hill Botanic Garden (link). I photographed the pond with my Canon EOS 5D Mk II, which has been converted for infrared photography. For this camera, I chose to have the filter let through light of wavelengths longer than 720nm. This still allows some of the color to come through in the captured image.
I still have several modules to complete in the course, as those will cover more details on color replacement and creative techniques to enhance images. Stay tuned!
