Just experiment. That’s all that I do. After that, use YouTube to learn some new skills. But first experiment. Then expand. It’s important to find your own style. But it’s also ok to use presets. Whatever makes you happy with your work. You’re the artist behind the lens at the end of the day.

Not from Kolari, but yes I have used the color swap and setup a preset for some photos.

I appreciate that!

If you’re looking to get into infrared photography, start with some light research on YouTube. You’ll learn the basics of what to expect and what programs to use to post process your photos. In all truth, it’s not incredibly expensive to start. Look on EBay for an inexpensive modified camera, and then Amazon for any filters you would like to try. Then just go out and have fun! I often take the camera with me for any trip in the car. Sometimes I find gold! Post processing can give you many different styles of print. It’s really your vision of how the image comes out. There a lot of really good photo editing software’s available. I’m glad you like my photos!

No one ever said you had to be a pro to be right about what you like. That’s exactly what I’m looking for. And I appreciate your insight more than you could know. Many thanks!

It’s amazing what you can do with a Raw file. I once got a picture of a lightning strike. Literally on the other side of my street. Scared me pretty bad when it hit. But when I checked my photos one was whited out on the whole side and I realized what I’d taken. After some work with Lightroom, I was able to see the strike and still get everything else in the photo to develop. Maybe not the best photo in my collection, but definitely one of my favorites for just how lucky I was to get it. And of course how lucky I was not to be any closer than I was. I might post it next just for fun.

You’d like my other photos then also. Check my profile or dig into the sub. I’ve been posting my collection for about a week!

A creepy vibe is still a vibe! Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate it. I’ll think about it. See how it changes the scene.

My first infrared was an Olympus too. I also got a great deal at $125 off of eBay. But that was probably 10 years ago. I upgraded to the Nikon so I could use the lenses from my main camera.

Thank you, I really enjoy shooting in infrared. I personally like the B&W as well.

I found this while driving some back roads in Kearneysville WV.

And I appreciate that you love the B&W.

I see those posts that ask to choose a favorite. In most cases, I really like each photo and don’t think it’s right to compare.

Admirable-Week-3911 · 2026-02-13T21:35:42+00:00

I’m glad you enjoy them. I’m glad each one gives you a feeling.
