Infrared and the Different WB Effects

TedG954 · Jul 15, 2015

If anyone is interested, I created a chart that shows the different effects of White Balance when doing infrared. It takes the guesswork out of the field.

The settings are AWB, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Florescent, Florescent II, Custom 1, and Custom 2. Photos with CM are photos that switched Blues to Reds, and Reds to Blues in the Channel Mixer.

All the photos were taken on a tripod, ISO80 at F8.

What nm conversion or filter did you have on the camera? This would be a big help to people that are looking into ir and this thread as a reference.

That's what the "EVAL 1" and "EVAL 2" are for. One is set with the sky for WB and the other uses grass. And, yes, I do.
