Subject: More infrared experimentation, clouds
Message-ID:<[email protected]>

I don't know if anybody is actually interested in seeing my experimentation
as I learn how to use my IR converted camera. If people actually care one
way or another, let me know and I'll either continue or stop posting links
to sets like this.
The clouds a couple of days ago looked quite interesting, so I tried
photographing them with the IR camera, both in full spectrum and with
the IR filter. Since my filter is a 77mm and the 18-250 on the camera
had a 62mm thread, I was just holding it in front of the lens, hence
my finger in the lower right corner of a lot of the shots.
I was doing some pretty severe bracketing when I took the photos,
because the JPEG histograms are for shit when it comes to telling
you if you're actually clipping on the sensor.
I tried a variety of processing techniques in lightroom on the shots
taken with the IR filter. Processing these photos is going to be
very situationally dependent. By definition, you are not going to get
anything that looks natural.
Since I snuck out into the parking lot in the afternoon at work to
get these shots, I didn't spend the time I would have liked, experimenting
with the polarizer with and without the IR filter for the cloud photos.
I suspect the eventually, the ultimate technique would involve multiple
shots with both IR only and visible only filters on the camera, and then
compositing them in post production. Since I couldn't even play Mark
Roberts in a high school play, I'll leave that tricky photoshop shit to
others.
