Greetings All,
Was shooting mainly full-spectrum with the SD15 but had too many cameras and needed some money - so got the almost worthless G1 converted to "full-spectrum". It was good to be able to select extreme Custom "white balances" and the magnified live-view manual focusing even with a 720nm on the lens is a godsend.
Still playing but I still prefer faux color to the traditional monochrome IR presentation.
Here's an early shot of our street with Incandescent WB, IIRC:
I played with Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histogram Enhancement in ImageJ:
Also tried Retinex processing but it's a bit fierce:
Then off to the GIMP and 'Alien Map' - such fun:
As can be seen, my preferences are less than subtle but my view is that IR should be dramatic.
Currently playing with an 850nm on the lens ...
Best,
Ted
