Pinchot IR
Posted by Rand (Laie, United States) on 4 November 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This image was made while hiking the John Muir Trail. Coming down off Pinchot Pass, I made a series of shots I thought would be good converted to IR.
Wow. After several long months I am finally ready to being posting entries again. Since I last wrote I have hiked the John Muir Trail, taken a three week road trip (mostly across the southern part of the US), and moved my family to Hawaii. Photos of all will be forthcoming.
@Didier DE ZAN: Thanks.
@k@: Thank you. It was one of the prettiest skies I have even seen.

Love, love the IR. Do you have a special camera for this or is this a setting in camera? I really want to try IR sometime - think that one must sacrifice a camera to have the guts changed out to IR.

@Barbara: Hi Barbara. I didn't sacrifice a camera. I convert this to an IR look in post. You can do it in either Photoshop or Lightroom. It is basically a question of converting it to B&W and then making blues darker and greens lighter. There are lots of sites that give explanations of how to do it, so just give it a google and have fun.
@MARIANA: Thanks.
@bekkah: Thanks.
@dabbler: Thank you.
