RE: The Surreal World of IR Photography - Some Photo Experiments with My IR Converted Camera
These look so sweet and amazing. I love the surreal effect...and would love to know if this 'look' is done more in the post-production of the shot, or if you are getting this style right off the camera? Either way, I've been involved with digital photo manipulation for a long time and whether this is post or just camera....I'm really impressed.
I've recently just started to take photographs and I still consider myself an amateur...so I'm just asking out of curiosity. Although, I've added Magic Lantern firmware to my Canon camera and I'm really digging the results.
No it's not straight out of the camera - they have to be white balanced in software because the standard white balance on cameras is not designed for the type of image that infrared produces. Then after that the red and blue channels are flipped to give a blue sky.
If you want to see how they look straight out of the camera with regular white balance (and no channel swap) you can see a couple in this post (at the top):

Very cool...and nice skills. I like the looks of both before and after your infrared shots. I guess I should do more experiments with channels. Thanks.
You're welcome thank you:)
