Peaks in the Enchantments shot in 590nm IR - Processed three ways

[Gary R. Smith]

With my silence and subsequent re-emergence, you may have deduced that I was away. We drove east to Goldendale, WA and then north to Leavenworth, WA. I brought along the converted gx85 because it was suffering from neglect.

If I were to pick which color palette was preferable to my eye I think it would be the one on the left.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

I agree Brian. I usually only do a red/blue channel swap from what I get SOOC.
SOOC = one on the right.
Red/Blue channel swap = one in the middle.
I forgot what I did to get the one on the left possibly a R/B swap with less than 100% swap of the red channel?
I'll need to experiment.

New edit...

 

[Beth Carter]

nice work on the new edit. i'm usually not a fan of lighter vignettes, but it works well with the sepia and gives this photo a vintage fade look.

 

[Gianluca Drago]

I agree with Beth. Excellent result, Gary.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Thanks! As you can maybe tell, I'm playing with some new s/w in post (and going back and fiddling with stuff I thought I was done with).

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

I like the last version too.

 

[Brian Moore]

Nice B&W version, Gary. A bit too much white vignette for my taste, but still a nice picture.

Nice B&W version

Thanks Brian, just playing with some new s/w. Haven't got a good feel for the adjustable parameters yet.
