Infrared Photography (cool)
-
that is some really cool stuff. the subtlety of the color changes is what makes it so good, i think. I've been toying with the idea of making an infrared setup myself.
-
holy tits that's sweet! I fear it'd become cliche pretty quicklike (more than the 5 photos you posted) but those horses are awesome. How do you take shots like that?
-
Those are very nice. I bought an old Sony f828 that has been modified for infrared an have just started playing around with it. I think a modified DSLR is in my near future.
The colors in these pictures are "false" colors. The files don't come out of the camera even remotely resembling these. I'm not sure how to recreate those in PS but after seeing these I am going to learn.
Thanks f2f.
This is what I have gotten so far. Xpost from Picture of the Day thread.

Bleck! They kind of pale in comparison to the color. I am going to have to learn how to do that.

Used to shoot IR film all the time back in school. 89b filter (Dark red) and some good Kodak HIE film made for some very cool pictures. We also learned to put some matte black gaffers tape on the film pressure plate to keep the halation down, but sometimes that "blooming" effect was kinda cool.

here's some color film info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrare..._infrared_film
but, i suspect, you can use any colorization techniques to make the infrared BW look like color photography (the originals do feel like they were colorized post-factum).
glad you like it. my particular interest is in figuring out how things that don't necessarily perceive visible light may see the world :)

Naked! From wikipedia: "Also, some clothing is transparent in the infrared, leading to unintended (at least to the manufacturer) uses of video cameras."
It would be fun to modify an old DSLR and play with infrared images.

NSFW....

there's some pretty cool stuff search UV+IR photography. Also there are some pretty cool GIMP filters to simulate IR and UV type of photos. And since gimp and its filters are free, much cheaper than high end IR filters.
-
I am looking around for an old D100 body now to try this. Apparently the D100 sensor is pretty good for IR and UV even without a conversion.

that shit is sick. thanks for the post

Nice! I love IR!
You are aware that you have to shift the focus a bit for IR, no? From an old Leica manual:
Quote:
Images formed by infra-red rays focus slightly further back of the focal plane formed by visible light. To compensate for this the lens should be racked out about 1/200 of it's focal length, with the exception of the 35mm and 28mm lenses whose depth of focus takes care of the matter.

Yeah, I'd read that. I just set the aperture to f/16 and hoped for the best. The film (Efke Aura) doesn't have an anti-halation layer, so that might be contributing to the fuzziness.

It was more than thirty years ago when I last experimented with photography in infrared. Too much hassle: special film handling, black-and-white processing, inability to evaluate results (and adjust settings) until the whole roll was exposed and pictures were printed...
Now this has changed. Due to the arrival of digital photography, we can take infrared pictures whenever we please, mixing them with "normal" ones, and see results on the spot, tweaking the settings to our hearts' desires...
All depends, of course, on how your camera sensor array reacts to the infrared — and, depending on the filter you are using, to the far red end of the visible spectrum. http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/infrar...0922-288.t.jpg

I've been working on it but have yet to have a good image come out. I got the focus issue handled, working on exposure and post-processing, but the hardest part IMHO is composition.

As you point out, that's pseudo-IR, since most CMOS and CCD Sensors have anti-IR filters installed. You need to modify your camera to get true electronic IR images, and then your camera isn't much very for regular color photography anymore.
Might be kinda cool to modify an old cheap Rebel... hmmmmm.

Here's a full visible light shot of a spruce and aspen against the sky. The camera has the internal cut filter removed so this is recording ultraviolet and infrared as well as visible light. The IR reflectivity in foliage is very apparent but the sky came out looking quite natural, the only post processing I did was to lower the exposure a bit (still refining my on camera technique).
I took some shots with an IR-pass filter too, I'll see how they come out after processing.

i knew about heat signatures for buildings, i now know about infrared photography, but i just didn't put two and two together... this article gives me an idea, with your IR camera you can go to your neighbours and for a nominal price offer to show them where they're leaking heat in the winter and cold in the summer:

Not my picture, but cool nonetheless. A picture of yesterday's space shuttle launch.

If you have an old sony camcorder that takes photos you can probably shoot your own Ir photos on the cheap. Just get some heavy ND filters and turn on night shot mode then take photos in daylight. I used a sony PC33 i think to take this a few years back.
