O.K. sensor experts, help me out here... In film days it was well understood that flowers were difficult to photograph due to the fact they reflect a spectrum of colors well outside what humans can see. Film was calibrated to represent the human visible spectrum as accurately as possible; but, often would misrepresent flower colors due to high IR and/or UV content. The solution was the use of various filters to attempt to compensate. Obviously there was no good way to play with the various color channels of the film.
With digital sensors we can play with the color channels but are constrained by the manufacturer's IR filter (obviously with some exceptions). Can anyone point me to a source that discusses the science of flower photography with digital sensors? What frequencies need to be maintained/eliminated to get good representation with which basic sensors? I sense that some sensors/cameras might well work better than others. Or, is it just a matter of having enough PP skill and experience to get it right?
