grapegeek Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I've been really interested in IR photography for a while and finally got a Minolta Dimage 7 which has a very weak IR cut filter. All I have to do is slap on my Hoya R72 and in bright sunlight I'm usually shooting at between 1/30-1/60 sec.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiken Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 This image is really striking, although I'm not sure about the dark area at the bottom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapegeek Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 It's the sidewalk and it's cooler than the grass, so it's darker. I probably needed to move in closer or crop it, but this just give you an idea of what can be done. I'm still working on getting some better images...

kevin_krumwiede2 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Being cooler has nothing to do with it. Near-infrared images do not record heat. I think infrared could be considered "alternative" if it involves hacking your camera. I have a 35mm disposable camera with an IR gel behind the lens (click my name for the presentation). I'm also looking for a suitable piece of glass to replace the IR cut filter in my Coolpix 2200. The first one I tried left the camera a bit myopic...

h._p. Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 It looks alternative enough to my eyes - go for it!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent1 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Kevin, you might try a microscope slide's cover glass. The thinner the glass, the less focus error you'll introduce; ideally, if the original filter was glass, the replacement should be the same thickness (and it's probably plenty thin).
