Taking a break from posterisation, I decided to try out some ideas with the colour in Infra-red photography. As with a lot of my work it is experimenting to see what works and what doesn’t. First I will show my starting images: Full colour, infra-red monochrome and ‘full spectrum (includes infra-red)’ colour. They are all the same view centred on a tree across a green field:-
My first attempts were blending the monochrome IR with the full colour infra-red deleting the blues, moving green to blue and red to green:
My next attempt was using the normal colour image as a starting point with the monochrome infra-red becoming the new red channel:
The final version shown does, I think, hold promise. I shall think more about how to do this and do more experimenting…
