Fun With Camera Filters - Camera Filters & Camera Filter Techniques
Oh my - just look at the fun that an adventurous photographer can have with camera filters!
Four of my favorite inexpensive filters:
1. IR (Infared) Filter - Works best when puffy white clouds are in place. Also keep an eye out on ponds and lakes on cloudy days that are surrounded with trees decked in full-foliage.
To process an infrared photo, try the following:
- auto equalize
- create a duplicate layer and leave at 100% opacity
- adjust the color balance (the midtones only), while preserving luminance
- experiment with the channel mixer as follows and adjust opacity as desired:
RED OUTPUT = Red 0%, Green 0%, Blue 100%
BLUE OUTPUT = Red 100%, Green 0%, Blue 0%
GREEN OUTPUT = Red 0%, Green 100%, Blue 0%
Example of IR Post Processed Digital Photo using this technique:
The original photo is of course, the first photo. The last three are various post processed versions.
Or, try the following:
- auto equalize
- create a duplicate layer and leave at 100% opacity
- adjust the color balance settings, experimenting with the midtones while preserving luminance
- erase the areas of the photo that you wish to have a different colors and continue to repeat the process until you have achieved the desired effect
Example of IR Post Processed Digital Photo using this technique:
When shooting, also try experimenting with the white balance.
