Colorized IR at Bonneville Speedway
Thanks to Bryan, another fine outing to Bonneville Speedway for Speedweek. We got going a lot (4:30 am) earlier than last year, but we didn’t quite make it to the salt flats before sunrise. The light was good for a while even so, and the cars were parked in line overnight, so we got some fun shots of the place waking up.
I was curious to see how the IR would look on the salt flats, so I took my D70 and filter, and did some experiments. I’m also working out color palettes for the final images, since there isn’t a right answer. Spent most of the day trying to match one picture I colorized using a highly improvised technique to something that is repeatable, save-able as a Photoshop action (actionable? er, no.) So I ask my nerdier audience members, if I have an image that has been colorized, can you extract a gradient map out of the image to apply to others? Because I like this palette, and I got close making a gradient map, but not the same. I want the map. If not that, another trip to Speedweek next year would be nice. Thanks, B.
