IR from K-r

Yesterday I had lunch at a garden centre café then on the way home, during two short sunny intervals, I snapped a few shots at two different reservoirs, using my 720 converted Pentax K-r:

1.


2.


3.


4.


#1 and #2 were at a reservoir near Aylesbury; #3 and #4 at one near Tring.
Mono conversions using the Full Dynamic preset in Nik Silver Efex Pro (free version).

Here are a couple of false colour images, done (by trial and error!) in PaintShop Pro.

6.


#5 near Aylesbury; #6 near Tring.

All the Aylesbury shots were with the 18-55 II kit lens;
all the Tring shots with the 50-200 kit lens.

C&C always welcome.

I love these....

Need to learn and play with false colour!

At the beggining there was nothing....

Which exploded....

Me too.

Be well, stay safe.

reminds me of hoar frost from the 70's in Twizel New Zealand

Although not a fan of IR, I do rather like those false colour images. Keep up the trial and error!

Can I ask, where did you have the conversion done and how long they took?
I've been waiting 6 weeks for my conversion from advanced camera services

Thank you for all the comments above.

Michael, I also used Advanced Camera Services but it was several years ago pre-pandemic. I can't remember how long it took but I'm sure it wasn't any time as long as 6 weeks. Have they explained the delay - perhaps there's a parts supply problem?

Phillip, thanks for the reply, I've not heard from them but after what you've said I'll give them a call to see what's happening

looking good MrB like all of the b&w , not sure about the colours in the false colour. Kolari do a downloadable channel swap action for Photoshop which can be adapted for not only 720 but also for other values of IR

odd lens or 2

Thank you for your comments, Joe. Thank you also for the suggestion which others might explore and find useful (but I don't use Photoshop).

I would think IR is comparable to many other branches of photography - each photographer/viewer will have their own preferences with regard to colour, etc.

I sometimes play with IR colours, but but I actually prefer converting them to B&W images.

Cheers.
