I use a infrared converted camera, I generally use the 720nm filter (Hoya R72 equivalent)

You can try your luck with a screw on filter, a tripod, and a very long exposure, although I have never had much luck with the Olympus cameras for infrared, even with the internal IR blocking filter removed.

Thanks so much for your suggestions. I'll probably have to use my photo manipulation program to do "infrared" because I cant afford much of anything these days lol

I still love your work, its fantastic!

Thanks! It was a Nikon D40x that I converted to 720nm infrared with 18-55mm lens.

Actually shot as a BW photo or edited in a program to turn it as BW photo? It's very nice. It's nice to dream on this. Where was this taken?

ilimel In reply to Whatsome [2009-12-10 04:16:09 +0000 UTC]

Well, its not a black and white, the sky is still blue The strong white of the trees is because it is a picture in infrared. The original comes out red, but photoshop switches the red with blue to produce this. It was taken at rutgers university.

What type of camera did you use?

ilimel In reply to Spritaek [2009-12-10 03:01:33 +0000 UTC]

This shot is a modified D40x. [link] OCOC:US:1123 camera exactly.
There are other modified cameras available as well that will make this effect.

Amazing! Infrared photography? Is there a filter that is put on a camera to achieve this?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ilimel In reply to Relacron [2009-12-10 01:47:16 +0000 UTC]

You can use an infrared filter infront of the lens and use a tripod with a long exposure. Personally, I modify my cameras to take handheld infrared pictures.

Relacron In reply to ilimel [2009-12-10 01:52:13 +0000 UTC]

Moding it yourself, haha I wouldn't trust myself to do that to my camera. But getting an infered filter sounds brilliant, it gives the pictures a very interesting feel. Thanks!

fluffybloodsucker [2009-12-10 00:57:46 +0000 UTC]

so i get that it's a different lens, but how do you mean infrared? is it a photo of the infrared rays or something? *scratches head* it's really cool.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ilimel In reply to fluffybloodsucker [2009-12-10 01:05:55 +0000 UTC]

Its not a different lens, its just a different filter.
To explain briefly, we see the world in the visible spectrum of light, however there are many other types of energy that bounces off objects. Digital cameras have sensors that are sensitive in ultraviolet, below visible, and infrared, above visible. Normally we have no need to see UV and IR, so cameras have a filter inside the camera that blocks everything but visible light.
What I do is remove that filter, and replace it with a filter that does the opposite, and only lets IR pass. And the result, is pictures of the near infrared spectrum of light
