This is a color version of an infrared shot with the modified Rebel XSI.  Believe me – it doesn’t come out of the camera looking like this and has gone through a bunch of post-processing — but right now, I’m going to spend the day working on some of these infrared shots from the modded camera.  Obviously these sold very well in b&w; but I really like them with this very light touch of color; plus each one is sort of surprising as you go through the workflow.

From one of the trips I took with Lester. This was before I had the modified IR camera – so it was just done by sticking the IR filter over the 20mm lens on the 40D… And then some flipping around of colors in the color mixer…

I think that’s enough color for one day.

This is really about half painting, and half photograph. It began as an infrared photo when I was experimenting with various filters on the 40D (i.e. it wasn’t a modified IR camera as I used later on). But there was enough of an outline and I had colors from another shot, so that I essentially cloned the colors of the normal shot into this one. Yes – bit by bit in 2008.
