The infra red Photo Fix Challenge - time to vote!
by Ian Burley

The Infra Red Photo Fix Challenge - time to vote for your favourite?

  • You may not know that we run a lens and camera gear hire service via our Olympus UK E-System User Group site. The newest addition to the hire stock is an Olympus Pen E-PL1 Micro Four Thirds camera that we've had converted to take near infra red pictures.
  • There are many techniques for processing infra red images and since this challenge was launched we have now published an introductory guide to infra red digital photography with tips on processing infra red to get great false colour and black and white results.

The entries are in (only ten this time - obviously many of you felt the challenge was too daunting) and now it's time to vote for your favourite picture. The entrants had a choice of four colour infra red camera images and could use either the JPEG file or the camera RAW file from our converted Olympus Pen E-PL1. ntrants could choose simply to process the files for image quality alone, or be artistically creative.

Here's one we did earlier - a false colour rendition of an infra red still taken using our converted camera. Roll your mouse over the image to see a mono interpretation.
