First attempt at infrared photography.Related content

You need the white balance it with the green on the tree's as reference. Once you have done that, you can post process it to those dreamy IR photo's you see here a lot. Example of YOUR photo after post processing: [link]
Please mind that white balancing a JPG photo doesn't give a result as good as one balanced with RAW photo. Thus the funny colors.

imo ,the colour of this picture is really fucked up

Try making a custom white balance against a patch of green grass (with the filter on) and that way you will get a better colour cast.Also shoot in JPEG for IR and not RAW as RAW cant get the temperature of the custom white balance.
Im not saying im a master at IR work at all but if you need any help then note me.

i thought i had set custom white balance to green grass, guess i messed it up.
with normal pictures, i can change the white balance as much as i want with color balance in PS, but it seemed impossible to fix here (to make the trees white)
this is still the only shot i've ever taken with an IR filter, mostly because having to do 30 sec exposures bug me. i noticed you have 1-2 sec exposure shots with your d50/hoya r72 that came out bright enough - how? i'm trying this with a d200/r72.
where'd you get the converted d80 and how much was it? or did you convert it yourself?

I got the D80 from maxmax.com. I dont know what the D200 is like for IR unmodified but 30sec seems ages! You are shooting in very sunny conditions right?

Yes, I shoot IR film at 1/250 of a second, but I can shoot it much faster, if I wanted to. I cannot imagine shooting an infrared image for more than 1 second, let alone 30 seconds!

Well I'm going to favourite this, because I think it's very dreamlike.

That looks cool. I like the values, and nice composiiton and perspective.

thanks. i need to get out there and get cooler(better) shots (this one didn't receive any favs), but it's ~105 degrees around here
heh, i need cooler shots but it's hot out

Doesn't infrared usually show heat and hot spots? Or is what you were doing different? 'Cause if it is the first one, having a hot day could create from really interesting shots of heat waves rising off objects and stuff. You could always go out after dark too, when it's cooler, since infrared's supposed to be able to be used as night vision.

by cooler i meant better, not colder
was a pun, somewhat
it's too hard to go on a hike to a pretty place in 105 degrees, though
infrared isn't used as nightvision because it can see in the dark. humans can't see infrared light, so nightvision systems shine infrared light on people and pick up the image.

I recognized your pun, I was just trying to suggest a way to use the infrared.
And yeah, 105 degrees would be a miserable temperature to be out in. I can't even stand it being 80-90.

That is much, much longer wavelength infrared...seeing it requires extremely expensive equipment that even small African nations cannot afford.

Great shot,
Question: are you litterally taking a picture using some sort of infra-red device or is this a filter of some sort/photoshop coloring?
In any case, I really like the consept of the picture.
You framed a nice view, you have the reflection in the water making a symmetrical effect, very nice work.

infrared filter. it's difficult to use because it renders the viewfinder pitch black & it requires a long exposure (30 seconds for this one) to pick up anything

Makes me think of the video games when you die and blood covers your "vision"....
