How about a more fun with IR thread?

Indeed! Any cam/brand would do.

(I was being pointed about the G1 for a reason. Will get back shortly. ;) )

Just a piece of fossiliferous rock overgrown with myrtle. Shot with the G1-IR and 7-14 Lumix.

Here is the reason I mentioned G1. My treasured (hacked) G1.





Stick a piece of Wratten 87 on the pop-up and it is a dedicated IR flash. For me, with a Hoya R72, it exposes spot on. Nearly stealth as you see the outline. It does close and open after this operation.

Since I don't have suitable ND filters (only very large ones or 48mm filters..:eek:), I stuck a Heliopan RM1000 on the Canon 50/0.95. Exposure at 1/3500s, ISO100, f/0.95 (evening light)!

Hmm. It doesn't get too hot?
A couple of years ago I experimented with a similar mod of a Canon 420EX using Lee 87 material, but the filter has to absorb so much energy that it heated and warped. I guess the Wratten gel copes better than the Lee polyester? (and the fact that it's a weaker flash)

The latter reasons. No problems.

I've been enjoying seeing what other people are doing with IR here, but haven't contributed for awhile (or have I at all???). Following are a couple from a trip to Yosemite Valley right after a snowstorm (taken in January, just recently processed), using an IR-converted Nikon D200:

Lisa, I have never seen an IR photo taken of a snowy scene. These are beautiful. The second is exceptional. Thank you for sharing.

Lisa, Very nice snowscapes. IR imaging works well for snow scenes - great clarity.

These two were no accidents. Taken with my hacked G1, Pana 20/1.7, Hoya R72, Bolder Vision polarizer.

We stopped by an old country church today because a relative has recently been buried here.

St. Michael's Church, Town of Mitchell G1 IR and 7-14mm (I tried to shield the flare!)


I finally took the 7-14 off of the G1 IR and replaced it with the Pen-F 20 f/3.5. This is a fantastic lens.
