About the Image(s)
Cypress Tunnel on Point Reyes National Seashore, California
A bit of background, this road leads to wireless telegraph receiving station (about 500 yards behind where I was
standing) used for commercial ship to shore communications. Still functioning today but for hobbyists.
I use a Canon T5I with a Super Color IR (590nm) filter from LivePixel with a Canon EFS 18-55 Lens.
My IR images are uploaded using the Canon EOS Utility and viewed in Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4.
The WB was not changed prior to converting to a 16 bit .tif file.
In PS, pass 1, bright areas at center left were lessened by cloning and adjustment brush. Saved as .psd file
In LR, Pass 1, Highlights to -96, Shadows to +99, White and Black points set,; Sharpen Amt to 94, Radius and Detail
no change, Masking 50: Luminance to 5. Sent to Ps
In Ps, pass 2, Adjustments-black and white-blue to -4 from 20 and cyan to 25 from 60; Adjustments-Exposure-Offset
to -0.005 and Gamma correction to 0.94; saved in Lr.

The tree trunks themselves do not have a lot of IR, so you are relying on the foliage.
It needs a little glow (I was watching an IR presentation by Laurie Klein and she mentioned how film IR gave a glow, but digital needs a little glow. You could do an Norton glow. Posted: 09/13/2020 08:24:25
