2nd attempt on IR photography

[gravedigger]

Hi guys, this is my 2nd attempt on IR. Went to Pasir Ris for a shoot today. Kindly leave some comments for me to improved on my IR photography. Just a question to ask, what is the processing method besides basic processing to get white colors for the trees & grass?

hi, to get pure white here, you need to go to hue/saturation tool,

and then desaturate the yellow /red channels

and then after that, open the tool again, and saturate a bit, your blues are still not as vibrant as the usual seen here

The second one of the rocks is not terribly interesting but the other two are very nice.
You don't have to do white trees unless you like them that way. I sometimes like to just move around all the sliders while I am editing a picture and see what looks interesting. Sometimes you get more interesting results from doing something different. Yes, there are some "standard" ways IR photos often look but really there are no rules as long as it looks good. I like the way these look. The lighting was really nice when you took them too. You are off to a very good start!
