Damien, I’ve been following all the IR threads and techniques with interest in your blog and know this is a follow-up to an old post but I was surprised to find that only JPEG’s from a converted camera or IR filter setup was being used.

I did some research and found a way to use RAW files and overcome the 2000K White Balance (WB) limit in Lightroom and Adobe RAW:

Information can be found here at http://khromagery.com.au/ir_raw.html and basically explains how to produce your own IR profiles from a DNG from your camera. This enables you to drop back the WB much further back than standard thus allowing you set your own IR WB without having to shoot at green grass first and set a WB in camera.

Sorry if this post is old news but I hope this help.

P.S I’m practising my IR techniques using a Hoya R72 with a 20D/5D/5D MkII at them moment until my ACS converted old canon camera arrives in the next few weeks.

Thanks
Gary

I had an old 10D converted by ACS and to be honest I am finding it to be hit or miss.

Maybe the white balance is set wrong, but sometimes I get really nice punchy IR pics and othertimes, a washout.

Do you reset your custom WB for each shoot or is there some magic setting I haven’t found?

Thanks

Joe

Great shots there Damien. I take it that these were taken with the converted 10D that you told me about?
What sort of post production do they need out of camera?

Great stuff

Cheers

Richie
