Infrared Black & White

I got out my Infrared-converted Olympus E520 that was purchased maybe 10-12 years ago. I kept the 14-54 (good thing). It’s got a bit of a hot spot, but that’s fixable. This camera was bought, off Ebay, I think, already converted when I had my E-1 or E-3, I can’t remember when. It looks like it’s a 820 nm cutoff filter. I shoot it in black-and-white and bump up the contrast in the camera. As long as the histogram shows that I”m not blowing the highlights, it’s all fixable in post.

Infrared in Central Park

Went to Marathon sunday in New York City’s Central Park and took an Olympus EPL-6 with a Lifepixel Super-Color Infrared conversion filter and the great Olympus 12mm/2.0 lens. Captured some great photos.  They required minimal Photoshop manipulation:  Swapping the Red and Blue channels with some tweaks in curves to boost the contrast and a litte sharpening with a High Pass layer.
