Playing with Colours ~ IR [limwhow]

[limwhow]

During the IR outing, dibyogahari poisoned us (me) by showing us (me) pictures after pictures of his friend Fitra's IR photos.
Some more our Indonesian friend Rudy Tuahunse's IR shots that comes through our FB daily were full of colours.
Our Indonesian counterparts really have a knack for colouring their IRs.

My take is - there is no right nor wrong.
It is really a personal preference how one PP his IR photos.

If I were to be asked: What has IR got to do with your photos?
My answer will be: Nothing much, except simply to give my foliage a little bit of white.

Humbly...

#1

Here I adjusted Hue and Saturation, one layer one colour, to give the metallic-looking facade more hues.
Then increased the Brightness and Contrast at the mid-line spine to give it a bright, reflective glow.

#2

This one I merged one copy of swapped and another copy of un-swapped version of the same photo.
Then laying a mask on the top most picture, I brushed away diagonally to create a palette of blue (swapped) and chrome brown (un-swapped).

Takeshi.lum, thank you for your compliment! No lah, I am just experimenting.
This IR outing has opened my eyes to sifus who know so much about IR.
I am humbled by the way they shoot, the way they angle their cameras low on the ground, the way they compose, the way they PP...
Still got lots to learn.

WAH... Bulldog988...!
These shots are very nice. Clear, sharp and crisp!
In fact, I must admit humbly that this is the first time I am seeing IR shots of this nature.
And if you ask me, I will tell you right this moment that after seeing your night IR shots, something inside my brain popped!
... and I am starting to think of how I am going to go about with my next series of IR shots. Hahaha...

Can I ask for a small request, Bulldog998?
Can you post some more of your night IR shots here? Big big ones please?
Those that see already can sleep one?
