Infrared Photography
Welcome to the first every Infrared Photography week at projecteducate! With the introduction of the Infrared Photography gallery here on DeviantArt we thought it would be a great time to bring you some tips, tutorials, interviews, features and more to help you get stuck into what the genre has to offer. We also have a contest that will hopefully test and develop your Infrared Photography skills and give you the chance to win some prizes.
What can you expect this week?
Behind the scenes, prominant members of the Infrared Photography community have been working on putting lots of articles together. Be prepared for some fascinating insight, tutorials and tips from Infrared Veterans such as MichiLauke, vw1956 and mIkeschwaRz. Stand by for 3wyl and LDFranklin who are sharing their experiences of Infrared and how to go about getting started and delve into some interviews by Kaz-D with some fabulous Infrared Photographers.
The Contest
We understand that many photographers don't have infrared filters or converted cameras, so we have devised an awesome contest that relies on your editing and post-processing skills instead! All you need is a photo editing software (e.g. Photoshop, Lightroom, Gimp, etc.) with the ability to mix channels. By participating in this contest, we hope you get a taste of infrared photography and the opportunities it provides you, while having some fun and earning some prizes along the way.
Guidelines:
The photographs below are not aesthetically infrared, which is where you come in! Using a photo editing software, edit one photograph below so that it is a complete infrared photograph. Feel free to edit other things such as brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.
Many thanks to mIkeschwaRz, MichiLauke and vw1956 for providing these images! These awesome infrared photographers have presented one half of the infrared photographs for you. You have to go the rest of the way by editing the photographs.
Once you have edited the photograph, upload the photograph to DeviantArt as a Scrap. Please mention the photographer who created the image and link back to this journal in the artist's description/comment.Submission: Once you have uploaded the edited photograph to your Scraps, send it to projecteducate via note. Make sure that you have read and fulfilled the Guidelines of this contest!
