In previous posts I have talked about infra red photography, which for me means my EOS 50D converted camera. In this post I thought I would talk a little about the post processing.
The starting image is the usual horrible looking RAW capture; and if you looked at this image, you would think that there is no hope.
The first step is to get rid of the colour cast, using a DNG profile I created for use in Lightroom: giving this as my new starting image for post processing.
