Mukilteo Lighthouse. I had wanted to try IR photography so I did some reading, bought a Hoya R72 and took it out for a test drive yesterday. While the C3000Z isn't one of the best IR sensitive digicams, I still had a good time with it. (Cropped and converted to B/W in Photo Deluxe)
Steven, from all that I?ve read (so far) regarding digital and IR, it says to always shoot in standard ?color? mode. I guess the thought is that you can always convert the image to black and white in the digital darkroom later on. What I?ve also read is that you can adjust the WB settings on various cameras to achieve different colorations in the IR image. From what I?ve tried so far, shooting in B/W mode will achieve this same effect (what I?ve posted).
Seeing how this is my first outing with an IR filter, I?ll continue shooting in the standard color mode just so I have more image flexibility later on when it comes to the saturation/hue, etc. Maybe someone who has more experience with IR photography can shed more light on the subject.
I much prefer this over the color shot. A more classical presentation. I'm curious about digital and IR filters. Is it common to take the original shot in color mode then covert to B&W in editing software. Do you get a different effect if the original is taken in B&W mode with this filter?
Yes, I like this one a lot more... I've never used IR Film or an IR filter, but I like the final presentation of this one. Very stormy looking sky, more so with the IR filter.
