I have just received the converted Olympus OM-D 10, converted to 720nm, as previously noted. Here is a reference set of images.
First, a straight colour image:
Reference Colour Original
An image taken with the infrared Olympus, using auto white balance on the camera:
Infrared Auto White Balance, 720nm Conversion
Now, adjusting that image with Split Tone and Colour Channel Curves, to bring out more of the ‘traditional’ IR effect often seen online:
Infrared Auto White Balance, 720nm Conversion, adjusted Split Tone & Colour Curves
Next, an image taken using the custom white balance set by the technicians who converted the camera, to maximise infrared:
Infrared Custom White Balance, 720nm Conversion
An image using split tone correction to bring out ‘false colours’ in the manner of much contemporary infrared photography:
Infrared Custom White Balance Corrected Split Tone, 720nm Conversion
Now, a traditional black and white conversion:
Reference Black and White
And a conversion to ‘digital negative’, as in my latest WIP:
Reference Digital NegativeA black and white conversion of the infrared custom white balance image. Note the ghostly nature of the end result, compared with the traditional black and white:
Infrared Custom White Balance Black & White, 720nm Conversion
Lots of food for thought and experimentation here, most importantly to ensure that I am using any image technique appropriately for ten subject matter, and not just to create tricky, fancy images.
