The Infra Red Photo Fix Challenge - here are the results!
- 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 votes have been counted and the winners have been identified. To remind you of the competition look back at all the entries. Before we find out the results - a reminder of what is possible with digital infra red:
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.
The top three entries:

Commiserations to our other plucky entrants, but these three were the clear favourites in the voting.
We will have another Photo Fix Challenge for you soon.
