LX-5 infrared landscape

Okay. This was an experiment. Stuck a R72 filter on my LX-5, fiddled a little with white balance (which kicked up magenta a lot, so it didn't do the cool false color thing I'd hoped for in-camera). Many of the pictures had an unpleasant hot spot at the center; this one seems not to have. Then I threw the purple result into the GIMP, went to color tools > auto > white balance, and this was the result. Not entirely unsuccessful, but not entirely what I was seeking, either:



Bigger version, exif stuff, and so on here:

This was an entirely unmodified LX-5, not one with the filter removed.

Interesting. Not my cup of tea, or tree as it were, but interesting. Most importantly, do you like it?

nope, don't especially like it. am puzzled by the texture -- this is the full picture, no cropping. it doesn't appear in, for instance, the X100 pictures i took at the same time, but they also failed to render useful false colors.

i'll repeat the experiment on a day with a little less haze and a little more direct sun.

stupid camera tricks, maybe, but worth fiddling with, i think.

Interesting, but haven't really made up my mind about it yet.

BTW did you shoot RAW or JPEG? Would there be a difference?

An eternal newbie.

it's jpeg. i've done a little study now and have found that if i were to take my white balance off green grass -- yes -- then the colors would be more pleasing. would head out to try this today, but it's storming like crazy here, so it will have to wait.
