Others Infrared photography

[Guest 1012]

Hi,

Anyone interested in IR photography? I like the technique and I've converted my old Canon 450D to IR. Bought this summer a proper 720nm filter (I had a 690nm chinese one) and I keep playing with it since the conversion. I've done the conversion one year ago and I've played with the camera since then, but now I fell in love with this type of photography. Let's say that at the beginning it was frustrating and even though I kept trying and trying, my technique was never that good. It still isn't, but it's better than one year ago.

Pictures taken when the conversion was done:



And some IR/Full spectrum pictures taken with the camera along the year:

I have never tried IR photography, I did saw some images, but I thought that is kind of feature built in in the camera.

I saw you did it yourself, you can add that tutorial in Resources page @Guest 1012 , like how you converted the camera.

The green turns into white . The results are amazing. Have you try this technique in macro too?

Hi,

Yes and no. I don't have the appropiate filter size to put it on my macro lens, but I've done full spectrum:

Can you make a custom filter, or order cheap one from amazon and adapt the ir filter?

those are some great photos.

which lens did you use? it's a nice one as it doesn't produce hot spots.

focusing is a pain as visible light and IR don't focus on the same plane.

I could probably use an adapter from 67mm to 62mm

Thanks.
I used a Canon 10-18mm F4.5-5.6 EF-S.
Focusing is not a PITA in live-view. You can only focus in LV since the filter is blocking visible light and you see black in the view-finder. BTW, autofocus works (slowly, but it works).
