Hoya R72 filter
false-color processing
Shot this infrared image with the Hoya R72 near-infrared filter. Many of you who may have used this filter know that many of your images end up coming out super super red. I could never figure out how to get rid of this red cast completely... until today Had a bit of a breakthrough today with infrared photography thanks to JupiterLily Could never figure out how to get all the red tones out of my images, even with switching the red and blue channels in the channel mixer. As it turns out, my mistake was just in the RAW conversion process. The minimum temperature that Adobe Camera Raw will take an image down to is 2000kelvin. With a jpeg, it doesn't have to work within the confines of non-destructive "what-could-the-camera-have-shot" parameters, so when opening it as a jpeg instead of a RAW file, its color balance could be properly corrected and I could phase out all the red tones

So why shoot infrared? Well, it's just cool For one, it allows you to shoot ultra-long exposures during broad daylight. An infrared filter works by blocking almost all visible light, only allowing in wavelengths that are near the ultraviolet end of the spectrum. Another advantage is that since infrared essentially works based on what reflects heat (infrared wavelength), you can get some super dark skies. So, I shot this long exposure to both achieve a darker sky and to show the cloud/tree blur caused by today's crazy 40mph+ winds
