IR Creek - a photo on Flickriver

IR Creek

It's not fall, it's 720nm infrared stacked and channel swapped if I remember correctly. I edited this image once a long time ago, and didn't come up with anything I liked. It was somehow easy to see that enough information was there so I set it aside. Today I started again, and arrived at an edit that I am much happier with.

Working with these images from a tiny 1/2.33-inch sensor always pushes everything to its limits. Sometimes even my ability to find an edit.

Part of the challenge is definitely dealing with noise and lower dynamic range. But I think that the other challenge is finding an edit that somehow looks "natural" when what the image shows is something that human eyes cannot see. Sort of compressing infrared light into visible light and then working with false color.

There's still so much to learn about getting the most out of this process especially with a little pocket camera, but this edit is at least closer to the intersection of what I envision and what I can do with the technology I have.
