HI Keith, Your exposures will be around 30 sec full sun at 100ISO and a pretty wide open aperture. Don't see this as a problem, see it as an advantage and make...
stay away from Opteka filters... the 720nm is more like a 850nm - so you'll only be able to shoot B&W with it. -Jim Check Out My Infrared Galleries! ...
I love using flash with IR - a Nikon SB-24 with my converted D70s. I've never tried it with people, I use it for fill light on trees and foliage. I seems to be...
Great results there John. I use flash occasionally with IR and people. It works and does give a different look. Cheers, Wayne Wayne J. Cosshall Publisher,...
Thank you all for your opinions and photos. I had heard a long time ago that when a flash is used with IR, it takes most of the effect away. Your photos say...
Keith, I use Hoya R-72 and Harrison and Harrison 89B (pretty much the same) and I am very happy with both. Don't put a cheap filter on a good lens. If...
Susie, I recall a web article somewhere (I hope you can find it, try googling 'IR and Flash') Where a photographer put a colored gel filter over his flash and...
It seems the demand for these filters is there... and I have already sold the couple extras that I had. So, I am seeing if there is enough interest to warrant...
My plan is to eventually convert the Canon to full time IR, Just not right away. I am already shooting a converted Nikon and was thinking about waiting to...
... Jim, You might consider smaller ones also, in the 58mm range as that is a pretty standard size. Either way I think what you are considering is a good idea....
as long as I can get a filter ring for the size, I can get a filter made to match the ring... so a 58mm is no problem. The kicker is that there won't be any...
So I picked up a "plastic" 35-80 the other day. I read on the dpanswers.com (first like link on Google) that this lens is not suitable for IR. Discouraged, I...
I too have found many of the lists to be in direct disagreement... and in some cases they {all} seem to be just flat wrong. I can't figure it out! -Jim Check...
These lists are guidelines. I've found that the strength of the filter, the time of year, latitude and position of the sun all come into play. Henry ... From:...
HI Lars, Frankly I don't trust these lists at all and I stopped trying to put together my own on DIMi. Hotspots seem to be, in my view, an internal reflection...
I just upgraded to a 5DII and now have a spare XTi I would like to get converted. I have been lurking for a while and would like to get suggestions on who is...
I had my Nikon E5400 converted by LifePixel. I have been using the camera for 3 years and have no complaints at all. Their work and service both great. keith...
I would second LifePixel. I had a Nikon D70 converted by them, it works great, and no problems with their service. I got their enhance color filter because I...
I completely agree with LifePixel. I also called them on the phone a few times before and during, and the fellow was very polite and patient with me, and...
I've had three done by LifePixel. I've had very good results. A few folk on the list have not been as pleased. The other big name is maxmax.com. From what I've...
Spencer's takes TWO MONTHS for a conversion... and their customer service is terrible. I would not recommend them... -Jim Check Out My Infrared Galleries! ...
Here is my attempt at Photoshop. I don't know why I have such a block about working with Photoshop. At least I had nice models who sat still for me: ...
I had two Nikons and one Canon converted by LifePixel. The first two (Nikons) were fine, The Canon 40D partially failed the first night I tried it after the...
Susie, you need to use levels or curves to make a better contrast. If you are not great with PS then try using the auto contrast. That is one thing your photo...
Hi Susie, Nice image....I personally don't care for IR with parrots as they are so colourful but your photo is striking. I would just up the contrast a bit.......
Thank you for the help Marcia. I will heighten the contrast and see if that helps. I get so frustrated because I have lots of good IR shots I'd love to tun...
Thanks for the help and compliments, Terri. I always take the same photos in colour too, at the same time. Those are pretty red birds. But the hair-like...
Rather than just using the contrast slider try setting the black and white points in "Levels", assuming of course, that you photo editor has a levels dialog...
