Wolfgang,

Very very nice colors on the flowers, how did you do that. Don't look like post processing.

Blue Lemon

Haha... Nice shots... unique color on the subject.

Cheers!

teerex,

don´t ask me how I do that....

Just kidding, little bit work in Photoshop, thats it.

But I have also a question to you.
Why is it so difficult to get a blue sky in infrared pictures, even from landscapes?????
I know that the WB is very importend, but that not my problem. Befor every shooting I make a new WB setting
with my grey card (size A4). Do you have a good link where someone disribes clearly how to do this what everyone here
in this forum does with his pics?

That would be very kind.

Thanks already

Cheers,

Wolfgang

A few of us have got together and started a thread in Clubsnap sometime back describing how to do Custom White Balance for different cameras.

LINK IS HERE

Hope this is what you want.

the thread is also posted in this forum

do take a look under Articles and Reviews

Hi NikkorAT "Wolfgang",

Beautiful photo's I must say.

I like the 1st one the most.

You write ....

As you will no doubt read, most do a "Custom White Ballance" using grass or leaves on trees as a reference.
Some have used the blue of the sky ?

How often you change your CWB I juess is up to how critical you want the effect to be....

As an example.... If you use a patch of grass at say 11AM for a reference and then take IR shots.
Then take the same shots at say 4PM, using the first CWB reference, the effect is a bit different.

If you are a purist, you would re do the CWB for each time of shot ( say morning and afternoon)
or with the sun at different angular points to your shot.

I think though, that a number of people that post here use the same CWB setting for many shots and for many days.....

I think it all comes down to how close to white you can make trees for instance, by not re-doing the CWB once set on a patch of grass etc.

"Hey guys" jump in and correct me if "I am off here" ... this is what I have found myself.

I have found that if I do a CWB before I start shooting, I can obtain better results with post processing the shot than if I use a CWB from shooting last week.

Can any one add to this ???

Cheers.

Hi Pablo,

you maybe call me crazy but I do the WB every 100 pictures which is in fact every 10 minutes...
And thats not a joke.

I think already that the problem might be that I use a Nikon D1 where the internal AA/IRC filter is already removed and thats why
my camera save most of its informations only at the IR wavelength????

But who knows.....

Cheers,

Wolfgang
