White Foliage in Infrared | LRC Course now open


White Foliage in Infrared Photography

Learn how to get white foliage in your infrared photography. This video covers color and black & white with multiple infrared filters, including 850, 830, 780, 750, 720, 665, 590, and 550 nm. We'll review white balance techniques, editing techniques, and a shortcut for multiple raw editors. I'll demonstrate using Lightroom Classic, but these techniques can be replicated in many editors.
