I have a 62mm Green L Infrared filter that I bought in July 2019 and have never used so after seeing some of Jerry’s images (juryjone) and some discussion from Bill (WOTANICUS) I thought it high time that I used the jolly thing.
I did some research, as I do, and came across a webinar by Rad Drew (https://www.raddrewphotography.com/...l?ltclid=3cf5e550-7163-4267-9c98-1d5cc79e19dc). Now I thought it was pretty expensive to watch for $79.99 because it’s just a webinar not a full on course but in the end I thought by the time I’ve spent hours working it out for myself it was probably worth it.
And it certainly was for me. It very succinctly describes possible hardware setup, best 3 camera apps and 3 apps for editing (photos editor, Snapseed and Lightroom) and the best settings. It also goes into editing on a desktop but I’m less interested in that for the moment.
So today when low and behold we actually had some sun, I rushed out with my monopod and had a go.
Here was my setup:
iPhone 11 Pro, monopod with feet, 58mm Moment lens+62mm filter mount+62mm Green L IR720 filter
Unedited jpg image taken in Camera+ 2. I set the app to take both RAW and jpg and I have to say the jpg came out better. I just need to get better at editing the RAW files and Rad’s webinar certainly helps but a bit more practise is required.
There is a problem with all my images being blown out in the middle. This apparently happens with IR. I’m not sure if the Moment 58mm lens exacerbates this.
Here’s the edited version with a Vintage filter added in Snapseed:
