"to see the world in a grain of sand..."
One of the most beautiful and unexpected kinds of photographs can be produced using digital infrared photography techniques.
Infrared photography has been around for a long, long time but using film, it was expensive, very difficult to do and the results were extremely unpredictable, and frequently disappointing.
With infrared photography season pretty much closed for the next few months, I went searching through my files for new post processing techniques to share with you. yes, I want to share, but I also have to round our a few more lessons for the course at Pixels 2.1. (It might have been the wine but looks like there will be a photo trip to China in the next few months! Stay tuned)
Despite the warm weather these past few weeks, the hot infrared sunlight is gone. I found this one image while preparing for the SAG conference – and thought I’d rework it with a new Photoshop post processing technique.
Have you seen Avatar? (If you haven’t it’s the only movie worth seeing at the theatre in a long time – but be sure to see the 3D version!)
Looks like Pandora has a clone here on planet Earth.
This infrared shot was taken in Penticton in June with a converted Nikon D70, and processed with my new Nikon Capture “pre-post-processing” method.
