Just playing around

[Polar01]

Out the other day just playing around with my old D70 that I had converted to IR. Made the mistake of hitting format for some reason and the camera when back home to mommy. So I had to reset everything, took 3 tries as I usually would miss something are not realize it until I put the images up on the computer. Once I got things back to the correct settings as the camera was converted to standard IR, I started to have some fun. This is a shot of a small church out in the country about 5 miles from me, in the fall with the right sky it makes for a nice shot. There are two good angles to shoot the church, because of the tress it is a tight framing. Well here is Vernonville Church.

Allan, I really do like what you have done with the processing of the image...it's great!

But, it took me a few minutes to figure out what was wrong with the church itself...the siding isn't level.
From a personal perspective, stuff like that happens with old structures.

Kodiak thank you for you comment, Chauncey it is not the siding it is the steeple and the roof ridge line. The steeple has a tilt to the right and the roof ridge line sloops down towards the steeple. I use the wide adaptive wide angle filter in Photoshop to try to straighten everything I must have used about 9 different sets of lines, maybe using warp then the adaptive filter may work better, but that building is a real pain. I find that using Google's NIK CEP 4's Tonal Contrast really works well as it uses some of the detail extractor but more subtle. I do not do a lot of IR and was not sure of the processing, but it looks like I am heading in the right direction.

Nicely captured.

It's sort of pretty, is that a natural color for the trees?

The image has an ethereal quality to it that is fitting. Nice job.

Nick with IR photography the colour green appears white, what I have done is to switch the colours channels blue is red and red is blue then moved them around to get the effect I wanted.

A very pleasing scene and artistic impression of it Allan.

Nicely done and proving that there is life for old cameras. I converted a Canon D60 (not the newer 60D) to full time IR and enjoy playing with it. I mostly do B&W like this one of my home...
