SONY NEX5-N IR converted with lens Leica Leitz Tele-elmar M 135mm f/4. Taken at ISO 1600, f/5.6 and 1/4000s.

This the color rendering coming directly in the JPEG of the IR converted camera. I played in post processing with the contrast and the dynamic but not at all with the color balance nor with the colors in general. The removal of the Anti-Aliasing filter of the Sony Camera during the Infra red conversion process, makes the final image extremely sharp. The injured body is shockingly realistic and the mood created by the near sepia tone rendering makes the overall image very chilling, impactful.

SONY NEX5-N IR converted with lens Leica Leitz Tele-elmar M 135mm f/4. Taken at ISO 1600, f/5.6 and 1/400s.

With the type of IR filter I had installed on my camera (Enhanced color IR by Lifepixels), I have basically two major colors visible on the JPEG file coming out of the camera, before further conversion work that could be done in Photoshop: it is this brownish cast and a little of blue which I accentuated here on the license plate of the car.
Without further retouching (other than a slight white vignetting added) I find this image working with the style of car I photographed. It looks as if this picture was taken with an old camera in sepia tone.

SONY NEX5-N IR converted with lens Leica Leitz Tele-elmar M 135mm f/4. Taken at ISO 1600, f/5.6 and 1/400s. Converted B&W in post processing in Lightroom.

The details of the digits and signs are so crisp, it is a real pleasure to use a camera without Anti-Aliasing filter (in the Infra red conversion process, they remove the AA filter of the camera) and with a lens that has the resolution power to evidence these details (the Leica 135mm Tele-Elmar f/4 is incredibly sharp!). Finally the B&W conversion from an IR photo seems to provide more clarity than the regular B&W conversion from a normal color photo.
