Glad to have you here. I LOVE this super color. I will get this conversion next time.
What kind of trouble are you having converting to black and white?
Are you doing a custom white balance (shoot green grass). Your Sony will probably show an error, but it will set it.
If you are using LR or ACR, there is a problem getting the WB to set properly. I made a profile following this: Setting White Balance on Infrared Images with Lightroom (with video) | Luminescence of Nature Photography I set the profile on each photo in LR.
I notice that you did not reverse the red and blue channels. By doing that, your false color will have blue in sky. It is not necessary, but it might help to do that before changing to black and white.
Are you converting to black and white in LR or PS? If so, you can move the sliders of the individual colors to help to get the black and white look that you want.
If all else fails, you can buy a 830nm filter for your lens and use that when you want black and white images.
I'm looking forward to more of this awesome Super Color! I wouldn't change a thing in this photo. I really like it just the way that it is.
The problem with in camera custom WB is if you shoot raw, then the Adobe ACR engine (both in LR and CS6) does not use the custom setting (defaults to min 2000 K). C1 will let you set a custom WB below that and get a better result. If you are shooting jpegs then the in camera custom WB is fine.PS The camera came from LifePixel with the WB set at 2500K. The jpegs come with no red cast and both camera monitors look cool to me. Nice!
The custom profiles that you can set using the tutorial that I linked to allow you to set a lower K value in LR.The problem with in camera custom WB is if you shoot raw, then the Adobe ACR engine (both in LR and CS6) does not use the custom setting (defaults to min 2000 K).

Yes, sorry I forgot about that option.The custom profiles that you can set using the tutorial that I linked to allow you to set a lower K value in LR.
Very nice, Raf. Do you have a link to a bigger version? I'd love to look closer.An IR pano consisting of 8 shots from the FS G1 with the 14-45 kitlens and an 850nm external filter

Thanks, Cindy !Very nice, Raf. Do you have a link to a bigger version? I'd love to look closer.
Thanks Cindy. Yes, I wanted a bit of drama in this scene.Carl, I like all three, but the middle one has a very surreal feel to it.
Raf, Thank you for the look at the big file. You did a beautiful job of shooting and stitching the exposures.
Looks OK to me.Hi there! I was doing some informal tests trying to confirm the so called "hot spot" that seems to show with the Sony 16-50 kit lens.
I've been shooting a few here and there but not seeing anything.
I conducted this informal comparison between the kit lens and the Sony 20 pancake and the Sony 50f1.8
The 16-50 set at 20mm. But its clearly wider than the 20 prime. All were shot at f5.6
I can't see it. Do you?
These pics are straight from the ACR withe the DNG profile. Only changed I did was to equalize brightness as it was a windy-cloudy day.
