Nice Gary. I have a 580nm filter for my full spectrum camera and my experiment wit hit have always ended up with almost violent colours.

This is what the raw looked like without the red/blue channel swap and the other curve tweaks:

Sincerely, I'm not sure I love the red/blue swap (not talking about politics, here), but I appreciate this experimentation and the yellow ferns are very interesting and detailed.

My wife took an iPhone shot because the ferns and the other plants were such an intense green

I had a Lumix GX85 modified by Kolari.

Well, that's interesting - I don't think your pre-processed shot could be more different to the kind of thing I am getting!

The blueish/green is what I see through the viewfinder of the converted camera. The camera auto focuses correctly.
The far right is what I see through the VF. The middle is with just a red/blue channel swap and the far left tweaks the middle with some curve play in post.

I’m usually wary of colour IR, but this is certainly a very interesting experiment. Aside from some technical uses, I’m never quite sure what to do with such ‘other-worldly’ images.
I always remember a nice quote, but cannot recall who is attributed to it; “A photographer is someone who knows how to shoot with infrared film, but chooses not to!”.
Don’t let that put you off though as I really do find the images and the various process experiments very interesting. I should use my IR (and UV) cameras more, especially as they are used so little for work these days.
