Latourell Blues

[Michael13]

Latourell Falls, in the Columbia River Gorge, shown here in 590nm Infrared. My normal processing usually includes a Red-blue channel swap to make the sky go blue, but here I omitted that step to show the colors my internal filter gives straight out of camera.

Almost makes me want to wonder what planet I am looking at

There is a lot of times I enjoy the IR without the channel swap. And this is one that looks super good this way. Good one!

Interesting palette. Without the surrounding foliage to give away the IR rendering the fall themselves look 'muddy'.

Thanks guys! I am finding that scenes with more foliage have a better chance of looking good to me without a channel swap. Scenes with more sky and clouds I tend to channel swap.

The only time I shot Latourell in IR I had a 720nm filter on and shot from the upper viewpoint. Down by the footbridge takes on a more interesting look.
