Great shot. Very dramatic, good B&W. Kind of a bummer that the tree blends into that cloud patch.

wow - you have the same exact equipment that I do, that is rare.
You also use the same steps in photoshop - thanks for letting me know. I wasn't sure if there was something i was missing.
Keep up the excellent work Sergio!
PS - your English is just fine :)

Hi Adam! Also I use 50 mm f1.8. The 18-55 mm I do not use for the "hot-spots". It does a little time behind I learned it brings over of Custom WB and I have had good results. My lens Canon 90 - 300 mm is good also working in IR but I do not use it very much since I prefer the angle of view of 50 mm.
The attachment picture is with Canon Lens 90 - 300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM.
Usually take the IR shot in mode "Manual" with 4 seconds and F8. ISO 200 or 400. Of course...with Canon Lens 50 mm f1.8!! A favorite lens for IR...
The work in PS CS it's the same...work in Channel Mixer and Desaturación of Channel too.
Here, in Chile, I'm the only that do Infrared.
For this, any information in web sites or forums it's very interest...
Congrats Adam for your interest for Great World of Infrared.
ps: again...excuse my bad english!

With 90-300 |

Hi Sergio - A long time ago you asked me about a hot spot with the 18-55mm canon lens.
I wasn't sure what you were talking about because i was simply converting a normal image into a simulated IR image using photoshop...i was not using an actual IR filter.
Recently I purchaced an IR filter and guess what? My 18-55mm canon lens has a VERY Noticeable hot spot - especially if I zoom in and shoot at a closed down aperature for a long exposure...it looks like a white dot in the center.
So, needless to say, I do not use this lens for IR. I usually use my Canon 50mm f-1.8 and get good results. I also have a Canon 90-300mm lens and it seems to be ok, although I have not experimented with it that much. For now, I'm stuck on my 50mm.
Your IR shots look FANTASTIC - any tips or tricks? I use the custom white balance setting in my camera (with a picture of green foliage only)...but as far as post editing, any secrets you would be able to share?

Very bizarre...I'll have to experiment a bit with the camera; I just got it a little while ago and haven't noticed anything yet. I'm glad you mentioned it, now I can be mindful of it.
Thanks again - and I LOVE your work!

These "hotspots" appear in my photos in color, taken in RAW ... before the edition in photoshop...
It is very much more in 18 mm. But if the photo is extracted near 50 mm of focal length almost it's imperceptible.
Thanks for your time..

one the my shot with problem |

Thank you for the nice comments Sergio! I always shoot my photos in color and then use photoshop to convert them to Black & White or Infared, and I have never had any problems - at least none that I can see :)
Do these hotspots happen at any particular aperature setting/exposure?

Great IR shot! I like this contrast in the sky...beautiful clouds...
Adam...do you get a hot spot with the canon lens 18-55mm?
I have Canon XT with the lens 18-55mm (lens of the kit) and do not manage to obtain good infrared results....anyway..
Best regards
