A lovely selection Lucien. I think the ones which have an overall red cast may have been improved with a better white balance. Colouring is usually fairly subtle with a 720nm filter but your definitely finding some variations. I have heard that the white balance control often doesn't go far enough for best results so maybe it wasn't possible...
With false colour IR I often play with the hue control, but many of my longer wavelength shots I simply desaturate (I'm lazy)
Hi Mike, I do have a custom preset that I use in lightroom. It doubles or triples the orginal white balance scale. Adobe DNG profile editor is what I used. It's my first time really shooting ir and editing as well. It will take time. And some pics are just blah, that's where the monochrome conversions save the day.
That's because, there was a lot of colour variation in it and the D70 ir profile I created. I now have (temp 2,000-50,000) and tint ('150-150) plus contrast, vibrance, clarity and exposure. That make's a big diff than editing without the custom profile.
Perhaps I'll add one of my early IR shots from an unmodified K100d (and the only one I have to hand that's not desaturated.)
It's NOT in any way impressive but was only a test shot to see if stacking a fisheye adapter onto the outside of the IR filter could be made to work.
