Red Sky At Night

Description

Taken at Horseshoe Pond - Peninsula, OH

After getting a feel for how to use the IR filter on my camera, I have been getting out there and playing around with getting photos with great gusto. It's challenging and interesting to learn how to shoot IR with a camera that hasn't had the IR blocking filter removed. And it's a learning curve to figure out how to make adjustments post-processing to get the effect you're looking for as well.

The exposure on it was an impressive 76 seconds, which makes it more interesting that I got such a sharp image of that man fishing at the dock. And in terms of processing, it's just one step from how it comes out of my camera. All I did was grab the RAW file and do Auto Levels on it. That's it. I could have taken it a little further and continued processing, but for some reason the hue of this red sky against the color of the trees made me stop.

If you're curious to see how it looks "fully processed" with color, you can look at it here: [link]



I hope that you like my first dA-worthy IR photo, and if you like this, see what I've done with extra processing:
