wlaidlaw Posted August 18, 2007 Share #61 Posted August 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wilson was the version of 5 an educational one? I could be wrong, but I thought they were ineligible for upgrades. As I say I'm not too sure about this. Steve, When I bought my last windoze computer, I paid extra to have various bits of software pre-installed e.g. Office 2000, PS5 etc. This was not cheap. I was then horrified to find that the version of PS5 they had installed was not eligible for update. At the time, Adobe were wholly unforthcoming as to why this was. I then got a free copy of PSE1=PS6 lite, with a Contax digital and went over to that briefly, before I got my less than legal copy of PS6 in Sri Lanka. Strangely enough, this received the usual in version upgrades perfectly happily. I also had a legal version of PS LE5, which came with a Leica Digilux. This version was eligible for upgrades to PSE2/3/4, although the PSE1 from Contax was not - complicated! Just about to chase up my CS3 from the US.

wlaidlaw Posted August 18, 2007 Share #62 Posted August 18, 2007 i normally white balance initially in camera (so at least i get a feel for what the finalwill look like). i use an expodisc and manual wb and set it that way. The problem with IR and color, is the more IR you get, the less color you get.... which is one of the reasons i shoot before the sun comes over the horizon. even if it's foggy or overcast, the ir will make it thru and start to bleach out the color in the scene. you also need to use capture one.. Lightroom and Camera Raw can't set the wb low enough (limit is 2000K) to balance out the scene.. and you end up with mostly pink images also.. if you use capture one, you need to make sure that 'pattern noise supression' is checked.. otherwise you end up with some wierd pattern artifacts.. i've only seen this happen in IR images, so i suspect it might have something to do with having the wb Kelvin setting so low I am doing exactly the same as Jim. An expodisc works much better than grey or white card. I concur cloudy, early morning or evening are best. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP_NH Posted August 19, 2007 Share #63 Posted August 19, 2007 First "Infrablack" shot. Just got the M8 Friday and had to try out infrared. CV 2.5 35mm with R72 filter hand held on lens. Its the 67mm filter I use with my view camera and Rollei IR film. Going to have to get a 39mm R72. Exposure was 1 sec. at f16 camera set at 160. Welcome, dear visitor!

Jack_Flesher Posted August 19, 2007 Share #64 Posted August 19, 2007 Really nice shot Mike, my compliments! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share #65 Posted August 20, 2007 Mike, wonderfully strong composition. The masonry makes a wonderful contrast with the ethereal foliage. What about other technicalities (post-processing?) The old man from the Age of Film Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 20, 2007 Share #66 Posted August 20, 2007 Ideal subject for IR Mike, foliage, masonry and water. I have not tried slow and small apertures yet - will give it a go - makes the focus problem go away just for one advantage. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP_NH Posted August 20, 2007 Share #67 Posted August 20, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you for the compliments. I used ACR's default grayscale conversion. Some minor tweaking in CS3. There was a real nasty flare that was cropped out, probably a result of the filter being held too far from the front element. It will be interesting too see how this shot compares to the one shot on Rollei IR film with a 6x9 rollback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
