Ray Once it's converted though, the only way for the camera to go back to visible light is to have it re-converted though. But considering the price of our old canons, it costs more to have it converted, than it does to pick up another used body! :screwy: lol :rofl2: |
Or if you are really brave (or stupid, you decide) you can remove the IR filter yourself: http://www.astrosurf.org/buil/350d/350d.htm

yep, I was gonna give that a try myself, but I figured it was probably worth it just to have it done by someone who knows what they are doing :-)

It's well worth it though, considering the filters, long shutter speeds, and no viewfinder that the dark wratten filters give you. With it converted, it's just like shooting a normal slr, those I posted in this thread were all hand held! :) You just have to check your exposure to make sure you aren't blowing out the highlights, that's easy to do because I think the camera still meters for the visible light, not the IR light that the sensor chip is capturing. I haven't had to compensate more than 1 2/3 stops though, so it's fairly accurate.

Hey... this is like modding my car :doh:. Thanks a lot :rolleyes: :jester: |
haha! :-D Enjoy it, I know you will! You'll want to probably swap the red and green channels and do auto-levels/curves on all your IR images to get something that doesn't look like T100 terminator vision. I have an action I created that does that, then I tweak from there.

Maybe this is what mars would look like with a blue atmosphere?
More to come tomorrow, I head out with a friend for the afternoon/evening tomorrow, so I'll be there longer and bring my tripod. Should get some better shots then, well at least more anyway. http://www.danielbuck.net/wip/ir_rocks_01.jpg http://www.danielbuck.net/wip/ir_rocks_02.jpg http://www.danielbuck.net/wip/ir_rocks_03.jpg http://www.danielbuck.net/wip/ir_rocks_04.jpg http://www.danielbuck.net/wip/ir_rocks_05.jpg |
You have some of the most amazing photography I've ever seen. Point blank.

Thanks Tillman, I'm glad you enjoy them as much as I do :)
Here are some tonight. 'the eagle' isn't actually an IR shot, but I tinted it to match the others. http://www.danielbuck.net/wip/ir_rocks_06.jpg http://www.danielbuck.net/wip/ir_rocks_07.jpg http://www.danielbuck.net/wip/ir_rocks_08.jpg http://www.danielbuck.net/wip/ir_rocks_09.jpg |
here is another from the same night and location. Not an infrared shot, but figure I'd still post it here

Awesome work!
I ordered a IR filter weds. I can't wait til it gets here. Edit: you may have already mentioned this but what kind of filter do you use? |
