Merry Christmas to you too Naomi – Happy holidays and have a great time on the farm.
Another soothing gorgeous IR image to sign off 2008 with. This has a topical (well for us in the northern hemisphere) winterey feel to it and the blues and white are superb.
Travis Easton
yup, it’s got the goods, love your work Naomi.
Rhana Griffin
Naomi, how do you get those gorgeous blues? I know jack all about infrared photography, is the blue something that you add post production?
Naomi Frost replied
Well….originally the images come out in tones of yellow (if a custom White balance is set, otherwise it will be in tones of red or purple). Then I channel swap the colours and switch the yellows to blues and then it is a matter of fiddling with Hue/saturation to get the tones that I like. It also has a lot to do with the weather too. I find the brighter/hotter the day the brighter the blues will go (but that is probably because I am lazy and never reset my Custom White balance each time I shoot…I just use the same one all the time). Merry Christmas, Rhana.

Absolutely stunning.
Lets hope we get some snow over the festive break. What does snow look like IR?
Naomi Frost replied
I’ve got no idea…never had the opportunity to shoot snow in IR….but over here we have just hit summer so I’ve got a while to wait before I can find out =-)

Stunning work, Naomi :) Do you shoot with a filter or do you have a converted camera?
Naomi Frost replied
I use a HOYA R72 filter on my Canon 450D and the kit lens. One day I would love to own a converted camera.
