This image is silly, I know. The sky was too cloudy. The light was a bit weak. But it is what it is. Just a test. Oh, and for Spencer to masquerade as Toto he'd have to be black!

We're Not in Kansas Anymore, Spencer
Yesterday I finally got my IR-converted Nikon D70s back from Lifepixel. Unfortunately, it either rained or was cloudy most of the day. That's not good for IR images. The only time I got out to try it out was to capture images in my front yard with my puppy. My front yard is not the most photogenic location!

ReplyDeleteCan't you get the same effect with your software?
ReplyDeleteBob: No, you can't. People have tried, but you can always tell the difference between a faux PS-processed IR image and one that was taken with an IR converted sensor.
ReplyDeleteIs this a lens mounted filter like the Hoya r72? Or something else?
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not a lens-mounted filter. It's a converted camera body. Actually, they remove the "hot filter" that camera manufacturers put in front of the sensor to block the IR spectrum. They replace it with a custom IR filter. This link will help explain:

I had an old Nikon D70s converted.
