Playing in the Garden

[AlanLichty]

A quickie from our backyard with a daffodil. Shot with a Canon 5D MkII body converted to 590nm and the image converted to 720nm w/channel swap using a Kolarivision PS action.

I still have a looooong way to go in learning to play with this as my converted camera body was just delivered a couple of hours ago.

I did my edits using Lightroom with a custom camera profile to covert from RAW and Topaz Denoise AI/Sharpen AI/Topaz Studio in Photoshop.

C&C more than welcome.

Very neat first IR image Alan.

This looks really great Alan! Love the look of this.
So you can take a 590nm and make it look like a 720nm? I didn’t know that.

Thanks Ben.

Thanks Jim - there are some really useful tutorials over on the Kolarivision web site and they also have a download of some PS actions that include color band simulations like this one.

Super cool Alan, I didn't even know you sent your camera in. This an excellent beginning, I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Amy - the sale LifePixel had in early March won me over so I sent in an old 5D MkII.

Nice. And congrats on the new toy. In hindsight I should have gone for an SLR conversion rather than the P&S I did.

Thanks Jameel - I had an old P&S that I was once going to convert but the notion that I could use all of my EF series lenses pushed that thought aside. I am guessing that I will need to make some adjustments in how I use each of my lenses with this body but I happen to be fond of puzzles anyway. The downside to the 5d2 is the inability to use higher ISO settings for low light conditions without unusable noise levels.

Stunning Image Alan, Love the crisp white of the flower with the beautiful sharp details.

Welcome to IR, You're Hooked Now ;-)

Take Care, Be Safe,
