I like film better for infrared, I have previously thought of getting my 5DII converted but I shoot about 2 digital infrared a year. I do more on film because I get 14 shots a roll.
Thankiuu !
Very nice your vídeo, help me a lot. But, I can't yet make white grass. I make every step's, make a picture with filter IR and setup WB. Before this, the only change is the sky, but the grass is green every picture D:
Can you help me, please? I have a Canon T4i + filter IR 720nm. Thanks :D
The man in the background at 4:54 seems to have forgotten that he has hands to hold things. At 6:53 there he is again. He's gone 2 full minutes with a piece of paper between his teeth for no apparent reason.
Ultraviolet images can be had, by buying a lens with no UV lens coatings. These are rare and expensive.
There are ways to make any lens UV sensitive, but you need to disassemble it, and chemically remove all uv coatings on the lens glass(s).
I was looking for a filter to block IR. I have a dash camera that can take up to a 52 mm filter and I want to get the clearest picture possible. I am only ever out mostly in the day time and night vision is not really my issue. I am mostly looking to reduce glare on license plates (some of them are hard to see depending on how the sun hits them). I don't plan to spend a fortune on filters, I know some of these are very expensive.
dont forget to white balance to sun lit grass (this will make your trees and greenery white)
Was this taken with a un-modified 5D?
The guy at 4:53 ….
You have my camera and my lens so I gather I won't need to look around the interwebz to see if they work for IR photos. 😉
Thanks for the tutorial!
What about the ISO Spec
Does anyone know where I can buy an infrared filter for either my EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS or my EF 50mm f/1.4 USM? Or how do I know which size to by? I would definitely prefer my 18-135mm. Any information is helpful and appreciated.
I just bought an Olympus E-P3 body with an old MF Tokina 28mm F2.8 lens and a 49mm Hoya R72 720nm filter and I CAN see to focus and the camera is NOT altered for IR and I can take color IR photos at F5.6, 2.5sec iso 800 and I'm REALLY impressed with this little camera!
Why the fuck does the guy who walks into frame a 4:55 have an envelope in his mouth like a horse's bit on a bridle? O.o
How about mirrorless camera's like the Panasonic GH3
Болтуны уже надоели, лучше бы по делу людям показал…
lol, that guy in the background at 4:53 is eating paper
Yes it isn't 😀
Oh okay. I know. Normally I don't use photoshop. Actually just for HDR. But thanks.
I can see that English is clearly not your first language. I'm just trying to say that, your photos will be better if you don't over use photoshop.
So its just that you don't have to do post?
That's like saying: "Why should I buy a green shirt, when I can spray pain my white shirt green".
Why should I take photos with an Ir-filter. I mean you only have an red-violet image. I can do it in photoshop. for what the filter?
Typo 😛

Your filter 950mm is too high for you. Get a filter within 700-850mm.
my camera wont work. the iso only goes up to 1600 and i get black screen using all the same settings as you. i am using a 950 ir filter i think i will have to either a different camera or covert it
