But...

Not overwhelmed with the results. More to do with the processing than the subject or the photography. No good blaming the gear.

It's some time since I took (and processed) any IR photographs. The images straight from the D200 are much nearer than from my old D1, which took a lot of coaxing to life. However, having spent most of the day processing them I just walked away. Not bad but not what I visualised.

D200, 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 VR. Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop with red-green channels swapped by the photoshop built in process, which I have slightly customised to give 3% red to warm the otherwise stark white/grey image.

Most of the images are HDR from between three and five exposures depending on the wind/tree movement and the exposure range.

Here are a couple of examples:










I would have preferred an ivory off white rather than pink hue.
