Share your Color IR shots

Thanks!
The colour separation has a large element of pot luck - it's considerably less on this shot, taken just a few minutes apart (same filter/WB/lens/processing...)

Not a great image but I reminded myself why I like to shoot IRChrome. I love the oranges and reds the filter produces. Definitely going to give it a go when I get some more sun.

Ooh, that's a neat colour palette!

On the ferry between Nanaimo and Vancouver. Full spectrum conversion with a blue/IR filter and heavy post processing in Lightroom.

Another interesting image! My sister lives not too far from there in Ladysmith. She watches the ships go by from her kitchen window.

Another one with the (IR modded) Sony DSC-W15.

Some lovely skies at a local pond this evening. I was testing out the Canon ef-s 18-135mm lens in hopes it would be a good superzoom solution. Unfortunately, the copy I received turned out to be just okay. The IQ was not as good as I was hoping for. Also, it has an issue with the AF motor so it's going back anyway.

Another one from the archives. This was near the start of my exploration of false colour infrared and I used a dark orange filter on a full spectrum conversion. I wound up using dark red most of the time but the orange filter has some nice character too. Most post production in Lightroom with a channel swap and hue refinement in Photoshop.

Do you know what the cutoff on that orange filter is? I'm thinking somewhere in the 590nm range.

It's a B+W 040, and it looks like they still have some specs up on their website. If I'm reading the chart right it starts dropping off around 575nm and cuts completely by 525.

It appears that convention is to give the value of the filter equal to the intersection of the wavelength at 50% transmission. So, this 040 filter is about 550nm. Nice to know that there are other options out there. I do have a number of black and white filters I could be using.

Heh, now that you mention the convention re: wavelength cutoffs, I see that the filter is described as an Orange 550 so that makes perfect sense.

I originally picked up the Yellow, Orange, and Dark Red from that page. As I mentioned above, after my initial experimentation I started using the Dark Red 630 as my default. However, now that I've gotten better at fine tuning the colour palette, I think I'm going to start using the Orange more. I might even have to pull out the Yellow again to see if I was hasty in avoiding it.

I got out my old black and white filters. One was by Nikon, and was designated 'B12'. It is a medium blue color. After a minute with google, I found out it is their version of a 80A filter. I have a Nikon D810 camera that I had converted to full spectrum. Anyway, I wanted to see the effect of using this filter. So, here is a test image.

By the way, the filter is 52mm in size and fits my 50mm f1.8 AF-D lens. The one with the screw motor focusing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's heard that convention, but my testing suggests there is also a fair bit of leeway, the measured 50% point often being 10-20nm from the claimed value. Mind you it's highly unlikely that small difference will show in typical IR shots.

I really like this one!
