One advantage of living here in New Mexico is that the
photons just rain down! Thus, at midday, when most photographers are running
indoors and waiting for the evening sunsets, I’m out there with my IR converted
50D.
There was a custom car show this week at the Route 66
Casino, just outside Albuquerque, and the sun was bright: perfect for IR
photography.
I’m still perfecting my settings, however, I tend to rely on
Magic Lantern for the exposure and that means using Auto-ETTR. Focusing is a
little more complicated, although it is made simpler by shooting at 10mm, ie it’s
difficult to get an out of focus shot at this focal length.
As for post processing, I tend to create a ‘flat’ image in
Lightroom, ie lower contrast, and fix the white and black points. Then to
Silver Efex Pro II to look for that black and white vision.
The three images below are single captures, ie no
bracketing, and finished off with the workflow above. Although with the third
one I tried a different look.
I hope you enjoy them.
