I found some interesting stuff on using a non-modified digicam for IR photography. This thread:
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1010&message;=23673599
and this page:
http://www.outdooreyes.com/photo94.php3
contain some info on how to shoot and how to post-process.

I haven't tried any of these but thought some of you would be interested. Checking if your camera will support such experiments is also easy - just point a TV remote towards the lens and press a button (for an SLR, you'll need to take a picture, obviously) - you should see a light; don't be surprised if it comes out blue or some other color.

I am very new to this, having just acquired the ability to record RAW but it seems to be a proprietary Nikon format. the only thing I've been able to do so far is use the software that came with the camera to save images as .jpg so that my photoshop cs2 can play with them. but that seems to be defeating the purpose. can anyone point me in the right direction? or tell me some obvious step I've missed? thanks.

I've seen a few other 'instructional' groups on Tabblo and I'd be interested to know what other members think about merging into one big group so we could all share. Pro's and Cons?

I want to thank everybody that have contributed with their tabblos to the group, like I knew there is so much different knowledge that everyone can share, thanks again

These pictures I haven't done sooo much with. The thing with birds is that they wait until you are tired of waiting for them to take off, so after watching it for 5 min trough the camera I turned around and zoomed down to 35mm to take an other picture and than it took off. So I turned around and just pressed shutter, had the camera on drive, so I got these three pictures against the sun. The bird was looked very little so I had to crop hard, I guess that made the grainy look. Then I applied a little saturation and decreased the brightness and increased the contrast, and viola, there was Icarus. :-)

These photos I took this morning around 8:00 am. The first thing is to get the sun right in your face so the sun like shine to through the wings. I exposed directly at the sun reflexion in the water. I cropped the pictures and added saturation and unsharp mask. In my mind I think that it's two ways to make water interesting, either it's crisp and sharp or soft and southing. I this case I wanted the pics to be a little dream like so I applied softening in the end

I want to learn so my first question will be about saturation. What is the use of it and how are the best ways or best subjects to use it on or with?

Floridamolle said at 12:40 p.m. on Feb 20, 2007:
Not so much photo Shopping here. Cropping, Contrast and Brightness, extra brightness on the first house as the pic is exposed against the sky. Then one sepia. The windows I selected and made the reflected pictures stronger. The last one with the Jeep I used fill flash so the background got that dark natural light

This was taken at the morning like 11 am, it was sunny and the moon was weak. so I put on a lot of contrast and saturation, made the moon visible and the birds almost glowing. Then I used my favorite, the copy background layer, blur the new layer but this time with radial blur, and put it in multiply blend, that made the it almost like they are flying around the moon.

Here I used a combination that I never used before. after cropping an general fixing I softened the pic. I liked that Idea of soft steel..Then I used unsharp mask and got kinda a soft still sharp picture

Are you willing to share your knowledge? Are we a sharing community or competitive loners? I don't know. but I am here to look at great art and to learn how to make it better.
