Cheating?
I hate the word 'cheating' when it is used against someone who is being creative. Many years ago in my colour slide days a work colleague accused me of cheating when I told him I used a polarizing filter to improve the sky. Nowadays I get quite annoyed with dyehard amateur photographers who say the...

K20D modified for IR - first shots
Yesterday I received a K20D and proceeded with some trepidation to take it to bits and replace the IR-blocking filter on the sensor with an IR-passing one. It was dark by the time I put it together, but today after a quick tweak to the position of the sensor to suit the peculiar IR characteristics ...

K20D modified for IR - first shots
Not so sure about the astral projection part - although I see what you mean! I've written a couple of articles on IR which hopefully will be up for those of you with Plus membership to read before long. The process is as follows: 1. Take a fairly expensive camera body with a large number o...

K20D modified for IR - first shots
I was just about to ask about the procedure... gulp! :shock: Looks like a first class conversion, with excellent results. I have an *istDS that I was going to convert, but too expensive, then the DIY route was too scary :roll:, especially with shaky hands, so I bought an R72 Hoya filter instea...

K20D modified for IR - first shots
I have an *istDS that I was going to convert, but too expensive, then the DIY route was too scary :roll:, especially with shaky hands, so I bought an R72 Hoya filter instead, easy option :oops:. The *ist series and Samsung equivalents are a lot simpler than the later bodies, but as you've found th...

Himalaya/Kunlun Mountains in IR
Lovely mountainscapes, and well captured. However I am not totally convinced that IR has been beneficial. In the high Himalayas the air is very clear, and pictures I took there with my trusty Super A (I think I did use a skylight filter) showed similar clarity on colour print film and slides. ...

This land was ravaged by... IR version
I just love these IR photos you have been posting. As someone new to this technique, how do your modified camera photos compare with using an IR filter? Not much on the web about IR. I'd love to try some myself, but don't have a spare body to be modified. I thought about getting a R72 filter, but...

No Motorways? How would the travelling comunity manage, they would be forced to set up permanent camps everywhere ;) Thought provoking photograph. Would a filter be ok on a *ist DL2 Regards

Would a filter be ok on a *ist DL2 Regards The DS, DL and DL2 are your best bet for using an R72 in sunshine hand-held. See from before I converted the GX1L (DL2 equivalent). A tripod would be handy but not essential, although seeing through even the R72 filter is very difficult so you can compo...

Under the Bridge
I applied filter in LR. The distortion I am unhappy with is shown in the horizontal beam in the last image- it kind of warps to the top left of the frame, the rivets dont look parallel to the ground.

Pano Fail
Well, I attempted a stitched pano shot to capture a wider scene than my DA15mm could manage. Unfortunately I feel I haven't left enough space for a decent crop - to me it needs more space on the right hand side of the aqueduct. I'll put that down to the ND filter which made it hard to see what I was...

Pano Fail
I know exactly where you're coming from Gwyn... I guess this was something I just had to try! It's a familiar scene to me, I was trying to make more of a surreal quality which captures the relentless flow of the water, than a record shot. With faster shutter speeds, the ripples actually become quite...

Another simulated IR
In your attempt to come up with something diferent, you have you have created an unusual photograph. The vignetting has created a shape that is almost like a head-dress. Your process has not really created a traditional infrared effect. However, if you want to explore a more traditional infrared ...

Another simulated IR
I'm hoping to get an IR filter and try out on an old *ist DL2 which I believe can be used for IR with a filter. Not keen on having it modified at mega bucks though :) The DL2 will certainly work well with an R72 filter, it will give hand-held exposures in bright sun - just. You'll need to take a man...
