a couple from lunchtime today. i didn't have much time... these are with my ir-modified sony f828 (*), maxmax xnite xdp filter aboard. this filter let's the camera see some of the blue spectrum. neither of these photos has had any blue (or any other color) added. the technique i used was generously explained to me by david moos (thanks!). i changed the master hue to -70 for the first and -40 for the second. both got red hue -28 and red sat -100. then levels adjustment (with a layer mask to) and some masking to get the colors just right.

i was really pleasantly surprised at the low noise of the second shot. once you start messing with the blue channels, i find the noise gets bad... shot number two responded really well to isox pro (fred miranda's) noise reduction really well, at setting number 5 (middle setting).

why the different color blues? different angles from the sun, and different scenes.





infrared is really really cool. i never get tired of experimenting with it! if you haven't tried it, i recommend it highly ;-) >

enjoy (harborside ir) photography,

Shakey

I would realy like to try IR but I do not think I my A80 supports it

I would give my right nu... er molar to be able to take shots like that.

I am seriously considering a Drebel are there filters available for it?
And what sort of money are they IR filters?
I am IR illiterate.


Again great shots Andy.

OK, I have a D-Rebel and Andy's great IR shots have me wondering. Here is info I am finding:

I guess the D-Rebel is IR sensitive and there are filters that can be purchased to make it work. Now to find more info...

dslr ir
the prob with dslr ir is that their's no native ir mode, and so you have to guess at the exposures. and i mean guess. also, they are longish exposures, nothing like i can do on my modified 828 - can go to 1/2000th ;-)

advice? borrow a sony f717 (or 828) and put on the ir filters, and shoot a bit. if you like it, then buy a used f717 off ebay and have it converted by maxmax ($150....)

Andy

shaky and filters...
thanks shakey!

can you put external filtes on your a80?

Andy,

After viewing your images, I took the leap to have my Sony F717 converted.
Do you or anyone have a written workflow for doing the false color for the converted Sony F717? Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Danny

it's been a while and now i have a different modded camera but i tell you what, i'll ask luben solev to chime in, he still shoots with a modded 717. stay tuned to this thread

oh and congrats!

doG, the skys are different colors. I imagine that without the IR, the instructions you gave are not useful.

Great shots! Or Very Good!

I kind of like the darker blue, but i don't know why, maybe because of the WOW factor.

Uh, I have a thread below, or above this, just put it on about a bird fight.
Could you please get someone to bump it? Or not.

Oh, the 10-22 lens, that is what I lust after, though I do like the IR. Was the 10-22 used at Yosemite much, and where is Humungus? Did he stay around the states?

Hi Danny,

I shoot with a MaxMax converted 717. It is great!!! Complete control over exposure, lower noise (due to faster shutter speeds) and sharper images + better DOF (due to ability to step down the lens).

Here is a direct link to a tutorial on processing Manual IR shot from an unprocessed camera:

Here is a general IR intro (it is work in progress):

Here is my small IR gallery:

All the best

Last one really like it

Just lovely Andy. I really like how my eyes follow the lines of the pathway leading out in the first one. Nice and sharp, pleasant contrasts.


Second one is very interesting for the colors, super high contrast! Thanks for sharing, Andy!
