I've gotten into infrared photography. I'm not sure if these belong in this group, but they do require a lot of manipulation and plug-ins. Let me know if I can continue to post them here. Thanks

I find both of these images very appealing.

Thank you so much. IR is a little different, but I like it

I'm not a big fan of IR images but I like these!
I think this is entirely the right place to post these very nice images. I particularly like the first one. Perhaps you could share a bit of the process and or equipment involved in making these?
Yes IR should have its own home, but this is better than lost in the Kodak 2A Brownie gallery.
I am a fan of IR, it is a world not normally seen and so to me, it begins as SOOC artistry by camera modification ... hot mirror removal. I have a simple DIY modified camera with full spectra and a range of IR filters. Yes, the color of the close to visible IR, 520, 620 nm is an artform for the taking. World of possibilities:
https://kolarivision.com/articles/choosing-a-infrared-filter/Doing color swaps can be done in PS ... also dental surgery!!!... but i use a single click to swap color as in your photo #2 which has the typical is red blue exchange. The one I use is simple and free in the archives of FlamingPear.

I think it definitely belongs in this section. I particularly like the first one.

I dedicated a camera to infrared by having the sensor manipulated, by a company called lifepixel. A regular camera blocks infrared. How much "color" in your shots on an IR camera is based on which conversion you select. If you chose deep Ir, your shots will be in B&W. I chose "super color" which lets in other light wavelengths. I then bought a deep IR external filter which allowed me to capture deep B&W. You don't have to get a dedicated camera, they sell screw on filters as well. It's not quite as good as a dedicated camera. As for other equipment, I would just bring an assortment of lenses.
You can do "channel swapping" in photoshop to begin the edit process. I am a little lazy, and was not interested a long amount of time getting close to the end point. I purchased a program called CLiR. It shortcuts a lot of the standard channel swaps, however it has tons of micro adjustments I can do to get to the picture I see in my mind . It was a little pricey, but It has streamlined my process. The program comes with video tutorials about every single step...very supportive! Below is a picture of an image right out of camera. I hope this helps.

Don, thank you for your input. Kudos to you for doing a DIY conversion. I think I would have gone through 10 cameras before I got it right

Thanks for the info. I think I’ve got one of those IR screw-on filters that I tried way back. Wasn’t too impressed I seem to recall but that could be my fault not the filters.
Fran, you infrared photos are an excellent contribution to the DA forum! These are lovely.
