Full Spectrum | Infrared Photography

[@001smudge]

I bought a cheap panasonic lumix camera and converted that to infrared (removed internal IR blocking filter inside) and now use this camera with a IR external 720nm filter. What a revelation IR photography is, once the white balance is corrected. With this setup, I can also take IR video which is v interesting! keep the great videos coming :)

Great little camera 👍 I did think about doing the conversion myself but was scared 😂 I love infrared makes things look great especially this time of year. Haven’t tried video yet, might give that a go soon, thinking of doing some Timelapse too

I am contemplating converting one of my cameras to infrared. This video was very helpful in me understanding what full spectrum was new sub. Cheers Ron

@@rdphoto2 Thanks for the sub and really appreciate this. If you use the same company mention me, not sure if they will give a discount but worth a try

"Nice informative vid, and good images. The nearest I got to Ired was to throw a red filter on the lens! I've always liked the effect Infra red produces on nature shots. The only mirrorless camera I own in my bag of photography bits is a fuji xe2, so the cost of conversion outweighs what I paid for the body! but hey, if you're serious about Ired you need to put your hand in your pocket. I know that location quite well, I live a couple of miles away above Hollocombe, and used to walk Fleet from Mothecombe up to the main road bridge,and then on up through the woods. There used to be Kingfishers on the river bank, from Fleet bridge up to the waterworks,I often saw them, but I never managed to photograph them! Regards," Kev

@@kevmoiz1718 Yes it was quite an investment to have a camera converted and I only use it solely for infrared. Much better results though. I used to live in Ermington so now that area well

Very nice, Lee. I have a Lumix GF1 converted and love it.

@@MartinJSmithPhotographyUK Thanks Martin Great little camera 👌

Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks I’m glad it was helpful and really appreciate you watching

Just subbed, i have a full spectrum canon powershot, makes fantastic videos and photos with filters on it, what has always got me confused is i can use those filters on a normal camera and get similar if not the same results, makes me wonder if the money i spent on full spectrum was worth it.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Just catching up with comments on here. Thanks for the sub I really appreciate it. I know you can replicate the effects in software but Ive found having a full conversion done makes a huge difference especially on a mirrorless camera.

590 photos are so nice in colors. Loved the trees! I find 850 often too strong and quite often prefer 720 to it.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Yes the 590 is definitely my favourite filter, colours are great.

I really enjoy shooting Rollei Infrared film with an IR72 filter. Rollei Superpan is also great. Ever shoot IR with film?

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Yes a few years ago now, same film on my 5x4 camera, I think there’s a video here somewhere 🤔

[@TheMungo54]

@@LeePengellyPhotography I’ll have to find that video then

I've been shooting on a FS D800e for a couple years, and I've worked through the hot-spot, over exposure and live-view issues, but I still can't get a lens that's sharp across the field of view. I can get it tack sharp in the center and it falls apart about an 1/8-quarter of the from the edge. I can't find any discussions about focusing across the field at different wavelengths, but it seems logical that it's similar to hot-spots.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Ive had a few issues with this at 16mm too on the A7, my normal A7R2 is fine with this lens so guessing it’s the same issue. From about 20mm out it’s fine

[@skolforce]

05:30 wow impressive

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

@@skolforce Thankyou 😀

[@delicrux]

Hello i have a full spectrum camera sont dsc v1 and v3. Are there filters that have slight magnification im trying to correct the sharpness of the image.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

@@delicrux I’m not sure to be honest, although it’s probably better to correct in software

[@Jennifer_Prentice]

I just subbed to your channel . I normally shoot film but I do have a older camera I will probably be doing a full spectrum mod on.. So just came across your channel :).. But we know by removing the filter from in front of the sensor this opens up the entire spectrum. The interesting thing I wonder is beings film companies do this same kinda thing with there color layers when creating color shift films ... I wonder if someone could get really creative and get results like this from standard color film by using a combination of filters? We as consumers can not remove or change the layers of the film so I wonder if the correct types of filters would at least remove different parts of the color spectrum and give the same effect? Have you ever tried this?

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thanks for the sub Jennifer really appreciate this. I shoot film too and have used IR film on a 5x4 camera, hoping to try some 120 film on the panoramic too. I can use the same filters in combination with this although I know the darker 850 filter extends exposure quite a bit but does give the same result. There are quite a few films out there that are very laying with the make up of their film but quite expensive

[@denisgluk431]

Near infrared is reflected differently from plants and objects, it is scattered less, even the shape of objects is slightly different and the lighting looks different. Changing the color cannot convey such a frame..

[@bpdzgn]

For an introduction, channel swapping doesn't make any sense with your example. You need to show people an example with blue sky in the photo. I also recommend resetting your white balance AFTER the channel swap to get back to natural tones where the filter allows (I.e. for the 590 there are still some natural colours captured). White balancing after the swap will allow you to represent those colours accurately, while still having the effect of infrared on the foliage etc. With more advanced editing you can adjust the infared colours with or without changing the sky hue as to your preference.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

@@bpdzgn Ive found with the 70-200 I don’t seem to get the same effect with the 590 filter, not sure why that is 🤔

[@denisgluk431]

very blurry, this is not typical for a camera from which the anti-alice filter was removed. At 850 it’s very interesting to shoot clouds from below above some objects, it seems that they are almost on the ground. processing - your camera or raw converter does not have enough color temperature range, it does not understand what it sees at all. Try shooting raw and converting through RPP, he doesn’t use such a concept as temperature, the color will be ready right out of the box.
