Colour IR Photo.
This
is picture straight out of the camera, of course as the filter is very
deep red the whole picture has a very strong cast, this is despite
setting the camera white balance from something like grass or a tree.
To
make a more natural rendition I used Gimp to set a white balance
from an area that should be white to IR, this would be a cloud or again
grass. This gives a nice picture but the sky is brown, thus. This
is probably the most 'honest' picture in the process, but the brown sky
is pretty ugly.
To
bring the brown sky blue we just swap the red and blue colour channels
using the colour mixer, this gives a more natural colour, but is
perhaps less like a true IR picture. But then again, IR is
invisible to our eyes, to any represntation is only that, a visible
representation of invisible light....
All I then did was a bit
if fiddling with the restoration functions of Showfoto to remove the
high ISO noise (was originally shot at 1600) and bit of smoothing etc.
It then looked like this...
