In this post I'll be looking at how you can create custom white balance images that let you easily identify which filter / white balance the image is for.
Colour Infrared Filters for Video
November 2nd, 2024In this post I'll be looking at achieving various colour effects with different infrared filters when shooting video. This is a follow-up to my previous post where I looked at a variety of infrared filters and the effects you can get when shooting stills.
When shooting RAW stills and using Adobe Camera RAW, you often need to use special profiles to white balance infrared images because the white balance adjustment required is so extreme. So I wanted to see if the white balance adjustment needed would be too extreme to allow for usable video or not. And also whether the same hue adjustments and colour channel swaps could be applied to video to get the same colour effects in video that we see with stills.
23 filters tested for Infrared photography
September 16th, 2024In this post I'll be looking at 23 different filter / filter combinations for infrared photography, mainly focusing on near infrared + visible light images, rather than pure near infrared images. I'll be looking at how the images appear white balanced, and for some, how they appear with certain hue shift or channel swaps.
The filters I'll be looking at are mostly ones I've seen other people recommend for getting certain effects, e.g. yellow, red, or pink foliage.
The photos were all taken with a full spectrum converted camera. You can take infrared images with a standard unconverted camera, but for images that combine infrared and visible light, you really need a converted camera.
