Colour infrared photography involves capturing the infrared rays in your camera. This photography was once considered impossible but with the technological development taking place worldwide this statement was proved false. If a IR filter is used then the IR photograph is quoted as a monochromatic or as black & white. Some cameras possess colour processing arrangement and optical system which helps to create some mind blowing colour effect. Since the IR lights have a long wavelength, the image from the camera obtains a red or magenta colour. The basis of colour IR photography is formed by these components.

For cleaning up the reddish hue formed on the images you can either use the settings available in your camera or by using any image editing tools, like Corel CorelDRAW X3. The use of colours in IR photography gives a magical effect to the photograph. The colours in these photographs can be tuned from anywhere between monochromatic and normal which gives a lot of space for innovation. The flow of colours to the photograph can be restricted and thus helps us in creating photographs of different moods and degrees. By making these alteration you can maintain the natural appearance of the photographs and can also add some spice to it.

To get the above mentioned effect it doesn’t require much post processing work and time. With the availability of tools like cropping tools, sharpening tools, colour adjustments tools, levelling tools and so on it doesn’t require much skill to make it possible. The Colour Infrared Landscape Photography offers a wide scope for improvement thus making the process a joyful experience.
