Part of The Great Dividing Range.

Our mountain ranges are old and worn down - but they sure stretch for a long way down the Eastern Coastline.
It is a lovely scene in ir.

Is this with your IR camera? I love the tones and the white leaves.

Like the diagonal lines leading the eye first to the trees and then the mountains

@shutterbug49 Hi Shutterbug - it is taken with the IR camera - I have done very little to this - just a compensation for exposure. The camera is proving to be very intriguing. Thanks for your interest. Cheers Rob

@sangwann Hi Dione - thanks for your comment. This image is nearly sooc - it was taken with an Infra Red camera which produces these tones as it only detects light at the IR end of the spectrum. It's very interesting. Cheers Rob

@golftragic Hi Marnie - thanks for your comment - it is quite a different look, and it seems to be very different under different conditions. Very intriguing. :)

Great edit

Loving your IR shots:)

I didn’t even realize you weren’t in my follow list. I have just been doing it. So fixed that.

@shutterbug49 Lol - thanks Shutterbug. :)

@fbailey Thanks FB. And thanks so much for sourcing that camera for me - it's such a nice thing to use - so much easier than my Point and Shoot - it actually does the focussing for you!! It's like magic! And I love having the eyepiece - with the point and shoot I can't easily take a vertical shot because the Polaroid sunglasses black out the screen - makes it tricky! Anyway I'm playing with it's settings and trying to get used to it - and it's very intriguing what you catch. I can see why you have sometimes said that it's a bit addictive. This one has just had an auto exposure applied and then a bit of a burn on the fenceposts - so this is basically what it normally catches on a landscape. It's a good thing I like these tones because I've tried to figure out how to swap the red and blue channels on my program - but so far the results haven't been very good. Anyway - it's all been really interesting and all because of you...... :) Cheers Rob

@robz I knew you'd like it - my IR shots basically feel a bit of a cheat because, as you say, the camera does it all for you! I don't know what editing programme you use but if you Google using a channel mixer with xxx programme or processing IR shots with xxx programme you may get the info you want. If you still want to try b&w shots and don't get a solution, try getting an early version of Elements (mine is PSE11) from say Ebay and then downloading a separate channel mixer for abt ÂŁ12. Or try using a higher version of PSE with a built in channel mixer. I think you're doing great, keep 'em coming:))

@fbailey Hi again FB - thanks so much for all the suggestions. Am I correct in thinking that the channel change produces a b&w result? I didn't realize that this is what it did - I thought it changed the tones of the image. It's funny but I did a bit of an experiment with the images ( I actually just posted the results) and I can get a nice b@w version by using an invert after a b&w conversion. I wonder if the invert is actually doing a red/blue channel change? I suppose that would actually make sense... So interesting!! :)
September 22nd, 2019  
The channel mixer swaps the red and blue channels over so you get an image in shades of deep blue and white. If you then add a hue/saturation layer and take the saturation right down, you get the b&w. Add a Nik Silver Efex filter and watch the details in the clouds etc emerge - it's magic:)

@fbailey Thanks for this - it gives me something to aim at! Cheers Rob

Nicely taken!! Is this drought area?
September 23rd, 2019  
@777margo Hi Margo - this is on the way from the Gld Coast up to The Granite Belt area and Stanthorpe..It is very very dry and The Granite Belt is in a declared drought area - the town water is predicted to run out by December. It is quite dire.

@casablanca Hi Casablanca - sorry to be so long responding to you, I missed your question - it's been a bit hectic here - hand watering our baby trees. The IR camera I bought tends to produce these colours automatically in a lot of the landscape images. I really like it too. It was a bit tricky to get it to stop making any bright areas bright blue - not a good look!! Changing the exposure bias seems to have fixed it. This camera has so many settings - it's taking a bit of getting used to but I really like it! Thanks for your interest - I'll have to try to not drive people mad by posting heaps of these!! I'll rely on you to yell out that "enough is enough!" LOL Cheers Rob

I really like these effects ! Its a different way of seeing our landscape !
September 24th, 2019  
@robz Fascinating stuff.
September 25th, 2019  
@fr1da Hi Frida - I'm so glad that you think these work well, I really like them too. And this one is pretty well SOOC (not quite) so these tones are basically what the camera produces for a landscape shot. Apparently you can do a lot with editing them to change their tones etc but I haven't found anything that I like better yet. Thanks for your interest. Cheers Rob

@robz Thankyou for telling me A sad situation
September 27th, 2019  
Another great IR image! Never too many.......keep them coming :)

@4rky Thanks 4rky - it's been lots of fun since I got it - lots of experimenting still to try! Cheers Rob
