Editing of infrared photographs using Photoshop
Infrared Photography
I would like to show you my way of editing infrared photographs using Photoshop CC and the NIK plugins Viveza 2 and Silver Efex Pro 2. I started about 10 years ago with infrared photography using a Fuji S3 Pro body and two Nikon lenses. Having not been satisfied with the endless exposure times, I bought a used Nikon D70 having taken lots of infrared photographs over some years. In 2013 I decided to buy a new Nikon D90 body and had it converted to 720 nm.
My newer infrared photographs are all taken with the Nikon D90 converted to 720nm by Optik-Makario, Germany. At the moment, I am using a 18-70mm and an 18-200mm lens by

Infrared Photography
Infrared photography is known for having a very surreal, dreamlike aesthetic. Lensbaby lenses are also known for giving photos a nice dreamy blur. So combining the two is only natural!
If you’re not familiar with infrared photography, it is photography where a special filter is used that is sensitive to infrared light. If you’re not familiar with Lensbaby lenses, they are creative effect lenses that you can bend, push and pull to give your photos a sweet spot of focus surrounded by a gradual blur.
There are two different types of infrared filters- a lens filter and an internal sensor filter. The lens filter

Simple Guide to Infrared Photography II
Infrared PhotographyIn the first 'Simple Guide to Infrared Photography', MichiLauke (https://www.deviantart.com/michilauke) walked us through his journey with emphasis on filters, specifically the 950nm and 720nm. In this article, I aim emphasise the different kinds of camera conversions that one can obtain, as well as 590nm and 650nm as possibilities for infrared.
1. Colour vs. Monochrome Infrared
As a new person approaching infrared, consider whether you would prefer to shoot colour infrared or monochrome infrared. This is worth consideration because the further you go along the electromagnetic spectrum (720nm, 850nm, 950nm), the less colour will be captured.
Bear in mind
Digital Infrared Photography ? Very Easy! by MichiLauke, journal
Digital Infrared Photography ? Very Easy!
Infrared Photography
This article is an updated translation from the German Magazine Kwerfeldein from the 20th August 2011.
A few years ago, I found some very strange photos on DeviantArt which looked totally different from the usual images. Incidentally, they were popular, achieved good reviews and interesting comments. I wanted to know more...I asked gilad (https://www.deviantart.com/gilad) and MichaelMagin (https://www.deviantart.com/michaelmagin) for some advice and began to experiment with the technique myself. I started out with great enthusiasm and my initial results were pleasing. It turned out that this extraordinary photographic technique is actually very easy to achieve!

Infrared Photography Tutorials
Infrared Photography
VideoTutorial
Raw Infrared Pictures are usually monochrome, red or green and turn out to be unalluring to the naked eye.
They have to be "photoshopped" to get into shape.
It can be a confusing world out there for an Infrared Photographer starting out.
Some of the tutorials you find in the web are useful, some just interesting,
some can even be a bit stupid and might lead you in the wrong direction.
I found a very practical step by step video tutorial
made by one of our r72 (https://www.deviantart.com/r72) infrared group members nxxos (https://www.deviantart.com/nxxos)
which might be very helpful for the start and
guarantees a nearly 100% success rate in post processing.

Lightroom
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is an amazing piece of software for editing RAW(or JPG) photos and organizing your photo library. Unlike Creative Suite CC, you have the option of paying once. However, this Lightroom 6 version is a bit more stripped down than the CC version of Lightroom. Adobe lists the differences here, but the some notable Lightroom CC only features are the new haze reduction/addition slider, mobile RAW editing, and cross connection to other Adobe products.
TLDR; Lightroom is a great digital darkroom for photographers. You can buy/upgrade for $149/$79 respectively, or go the CC
Macro Photography
I usually get asked how I take my pictures, well the answer is easy, it's just a matter of trying and practicing a lot. With this article I'll try to explain everything to do with how I achieve my photography, from the equipment to my settings and also the post-processing techniques that I have.
The equipment:
When I started a bit more seriously with Macro Photography I had my first DSLR a Nikon D3000 and the macro lens I got as a Christmas gift (nice present, don't you think?). I didn't know what I was doing when I started shooting with it but after some time and a lot of practice and pictures I started getting some decen

Macro Photography, DIY.
A proper macro lens is a beautiful thing. The only problem is that it costs a lot of money. If you don't have a spare $600 or so lying around, there's a lot of DIY things you can do until you can afford a macro lens. Even if you do have a macro lens, these methods are exciting and fun to try anyways.
Extension Tubes You can google these and get ones made by people, ( around $15) or you can make your own gorgeous version with a toilet paper tube & some tape/your hands.
:note: It's important to have a good hold on your camera when you try this, even if you use tape.
