Hi again - have been away so long finding where infrared is taking me - have been remiss in not commenting on how much I love all the photos

Have just been exploring the E-P1 & Panny G2 and a new direction of Digital Sketches from the IR Photos - so would love to share some on them

Cheers for years
Colin

Colin,

Mike, Welcome back, I hope your Little Woo is all better soon! Like your shots, looking forward to more soon. Eric

Thanks Eric...... She's still not doing real great. I got to play a little this afternoon, and walked across the street to the church parking lot. The first picture is how the trees really look, second one is how it comes out of the camera, with a green white balance, and the third is a little channel swapping. The trees were kinda of a golden reddish color. At least with a Canon Camera, you can load various different color white balances right in the camera to experiment with.

Sorry, I didn't have a lot of time and I see the last shot has some noise in the sky... I'll have to redo it...;0) Still getting use to using and doing color instead of B&W.

Mike,

A little noise in the sky never hurt anybody.

Here's a few from last week

A collegue of mine brought me a copy of Capture NX2 today. I wanted to post comparison photos and see what you all think. I think it does a better job of "cooling" the image.

Here is another comparison between Raw Therapee and Capture NX2. I haven't really liked the IR effect on people but I think my wife was the exception in this case.
I did dodge her eyes on the Capture NX2 version after I converted it to JPG. I have noticed it underexposes a little.

I have heard that both Raw Therapee and SilkyPix are RAW processing software programs that leave a lot to be desired. I think your photo examples prove that for Raw Therapee.

I like your Fair Lady photo the best.

The fisheye photo is the best of the lot in my opinion. Lake Chelen looks like a good place to hang out and shoot.

A few more from Bay's Mountain, I may go back there today...

Zoner Photo 15 cs from the Canon a beautiful rendition

Jim

Capture NX 2 seems like a winner and love your "My Fair Lady" with it too

Larry Thank you

Nice to see your Lake Chelan Photos and especially the last two - our lakes seem to have more Evergreens :roll: And another thumbs up for the Fisheye

Eric

Your Bay's Mountain photos make me wish I was going there with you and also with Larry to Lake Chelan

Here's one from the Panny G2 with 590nm following the aftermath of the Earlier Floods that completely change the path of the Elk River. This was from the middle of the river where it use to be.

Out of the camera & then Violet Dream

Colin,

Did the river really change course or did you Photoshop that ;-)?

Cool image.

Surprisingly I had been using Raw Therapee because it did a better job than Adobe Camera Raw, at least in my experience. Adobe left the images much more red/pink.

Thanks for the compliments on My Fair Lady, I like her the best too. :D
