[@TrilobitesRTasty]

This is the best (ONLY?) description I've seen of why the various IR filters offered by "IR Camera Conversion" vendors result in different color ranges in the photo image. EXCELLENT! QUESTION: May I ask...you probably said this in the video. How many stops is the Hoya R72 filter, and so does it therefore require a person select a high ISO to compensate?

[@Noealz]

I’m not sure how many stops but since your using a tripod and having long exposure times you can use the lowest uso no problem

[@RestorationAustralia]

Great tutorial, sometimes I do camera conversions to do infrared and my favorite infrared is the black and white. To achieve the black and white look, you only have to de saturate the photo and it will look great, above 720nm you'll get softer images and under 720nm will get more sharper. I've tested filters side by side and the cheap filters are just as good as the expensive ones.

[@Noealz]

I wish more people did full spectrum or infrared

[@ariloguecom]

Hi, after watching your video I decided to convert my old CCD sensor compact camera into one suitable for infrared photography. I want to remove the IR cut filter outside from camera. But there are a few things I couldn't understand. On other KZbin channels covering this subject, photos taken with converted cameras, photos doesn't look very pleasing to the eye as they come out of the camera. Even after adjusting the white balance, the situation is the same. For this reason, I can't quite understand whether I need to use additional filters while taking the photo or whether I need to make some extra settings when editing the photo after taking it. I would be very happy if you could make a video about the process that someone who starts taking photos converted camera will go through and what they should do while taking and after taking the photos. Thank you in advance for your reply

[@Noealz]

I have many videos on editing in infrared, though if you remove the IR cut filter, you will have a full spectrum camera. So you will need filters to tell the camera what to see

i picked up 2 lumix. i removed the infrared filter on my tz10 and added a 37mm in the front but i havent found a filter that matches the one i removed inside the lens. i also have a gf2 with 500mm telephoto. i have not converted yet because so far it works great with the filter but there is a part of me that thinks it would be better for ufo photography without the filter.

I'm interested in doing spectral analysis with a modified full-spectrum camera. Can I use standard photo editing packages like AI to do this or are there any recommendations for spectrum analysis software packages? TY in advance

[@Noealz]

Oh no idea to be honest, this is for photography - i dont know about spectral analysis software :(

[@ivarnordlkken8082]

Be aware that a full spectrum camera still only sees 3 colours. The infrared is seen by the red sensor, and you cannot separate red and ir. That's why you need a filter. Either an IR-pass or an IR-block filter. The same goes for UV, but in the blue end.

[@thelifestylestrategist2068]

[@johnwilson6932]

I've been considering a conversion for two reasons, I work in a museum and I've seen shots where infrared photography was used to bring out pigments no longer visible to the naked eye. But I'd also want to use it for the landscapes and macro. (Bugs and flowers ) so the filters/long exposures won't really work for me all the way. Have you any suggestions? Thanks for your time and awesome video.

There are long exposure IR filters available : )

[@Whopper0311]

Hey Noe, So I found this video a month or two ago and it inspired to give IR photography a shot. I purchased a full spectrum D70 off ebay. I know I need filters but I'm not sure where I go from here. Do I use a normal len and place a the filter over it? (I'm sorry they may seem like a dumb question but I know nothing about photography) Also is there a brand of filter you can recommend? Some of the offerings on Amazon seem a bit sketchy. Thanks for any help you can offer! I look forward to this new adventure.

[@Noealz]

yup just use a filter with a normal lens~

This is pretty interesting and the Hoya filter photos are really nice. When you say you need to do along exposure with the R72, how long are we talking? Also, it looks like you shoot with digital cameras, would this still work with film cameras?

[@Noealz]

just need a tripod - every picture is different so cant say which exposure time to use - i dont think this would work with film, you need a special film for infrared

[@CFM.]

If I purchase a 850nm filter and use the rollei infrared black and white film, what effect would the 850nm will have on the picture taken compared to a 720nm filter? does the 850nm filter requires a longer exposure than a 720nm filter?

[@Noealz]

I dont think that will work because those are intended for digital sensors and not film

[@flojotube]

I’m so happy i found this video because I’ve been so confused as to the technical details... i hope you don’t mind lengthy comments or several questions, but i do have several... Firstly - I should point out that my PRIMARY interest is shooting the night sky for non-visible light anomalies. I normally shoot from a NJ Suburb (very close to Met Life Stadium) that has plenty of light pollution all around, but my little spot is as dark as one could hope despite this.. I feel this is a vital detail you should be aware of when considering my inquiries as it’s not IDEAL, but perhaps it’s a bit lucky since more ambient light is available on the ground level that (maybe?) will improve my dark night sky captures. (If that’s how it works). I should say that I’m not just dreaming this idea up to waste money or time, but in fact I have experienced first hand incidents where I was next to someone who had modified their camera as we recorded the same meteor tumbling thru space.. In short, there were things his camera picked up that mine didn’t, while my camera captured a rather impressive 10 second clip of what this massive thing actually looked like. With that said, you should also know that nearly every night I’m inspecting the skies for anomalies such as craft or objects that are of an “unexplainable” nature with a recently DRAMATIC UPTICK in activity.. In the last 2 weeks alone, I’ve captured these types of objects about 11 of the 14 evenings. All BONAFIDE & CERTIFIED “unidentified” objects. I’m trying not to sound like a lunatic here, because I’m not sure how aware you are of the 500% INCREASE in both asteroid and otherworldly crafts, objects, and bizarre light sources WORLDWIDE over the last year at least. However, this is a US Military & Pentagon VERIFIED phenomenon that they claim they still cannot explain, with a “full disclosure” report set to be presented to Congrsss by June 1, 2021. What I’ve captured right here from my spot in NJ has been bright white Orbs that just slowly float by, sometimes making abrupt directional changes or vanishing.. Others have traveled directly to nearby large cloud structures and either never come out, or somehow manage to pop up elsewhere in the sky nearby.. On 1 occasion about 2 weeks ago, I captured the same exact “tictac” shaped bright white orb which has a faint dark vertical line that seems to move within in that descended at an angle, hid in a cloud for about 7 minutes, and suddenly popped up nearby as it ascended and quickly traveled toward NYC out of my sight. Then theres today at NOON to maybe 2pm I captured distinct triangle craftS sitting stagnant in the sky as very hazy misty clouds rolled by them.. They apparently have a cloaking ability (just like the military’s US patent for the TR-3B lists as a capability) so the sharp edges were barely visible thanks to the craft being a slightly different shade of blue. This was today and again on 2 other recent occasions. I’m sorry to BORE YOU with all of this. But I want to be clear as to my unique need for IR/FS video while attempting to NOT scare you away. Hopefully you’ve somewhat followed the thousands of videos uploaded worldwide and this is not news to you. In many of the videos online, the use of NVG technology makes craft that are INVISIBLE become visible without issue (just like the 2 recently leaked Navy videos of the triangle & round crafts that “stalked” their warship for long periods)... Then there are several that used IR/FS cameras that were able to see “light” that was otherwise invisible to the regular cameras while recording the same crafts... THIS IS WHAT IM LOOKING TO ACHIEVE without buying NVG or robbing a bank! With that out of the way - I’ve been considering modifying my Sony A6000 but I’m a bit scared as the only instruction I’m finding on here is for another Sony A... it’s very similar... maybe A5000? I’m sure it’s not much different but I’m not a big fan of going with such a PERMANENT solution... I’m usually very crafty, so I was thinking maybe I could open it up, remove the filter, and reassemble using thumb screws (where possible) so that getting in/out is less of a chore... Any feedback on that? Bad idea? Also... I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and somehow it DOES RECORD infrared... I have a photography case for it that has 17mm threading (I believe) which allows me to adapt up to 52mm (and of course I could step up from there).. So - With this phone in particular (considering it’s removed IR filter), how would I be able to ENHANCE its IR or Full Spectrum abilities w/ filters for the BEST performance?? Obviously DISTANCE is a necessity for me so the applications where an IR torch is used to illuminate the subject is completely silly (however, I do have a way to get a fully IR laser that WILL REACH into space... If you think this would make a difference, LMK, I’m here to learn!), so if the ambient light of my region is enough, that’s what I’d need to know and what I believe I’m MOST confused about.. I’m sure you also can tell that I keep saying IR/FS and THats because I’m not sure I understand the difference with regards to the recorded end result... I DO understand the light spectrum and get that 900nm is when we begin to lose the ability to see the light without mechanical assistance, BUT I think that I was a bit lost when you mentioned FILTER choices of 900 or another lower one.. In other words.. Why would I want to use one or the other?? Just to allow more light in than JUST the invisible light?? I guess I’m not processing the DIFFERENCE between a “FS” setup and an IR setup... and then Which would be best for my needs... man I’m making a mess of this... Lastly, do you know of ANY consumer grade products or equipment that can see well beyond the ranges of light discussed here?? Like instead of stopping at 900, how far can we technically take this to be able to SEE AS DEEP INTO THE INVISIBLE SPECTRUM AS POSSIBLE? Thank you! This video was by far the most explanatory and well laid out of all the ones I’ve seen. I appreciate that and that’s why I decided to finally post this rant of a question to the person who seemed to have the most common sense way of explaining. IM SUBBED & Will be exploding your other vids!

[@Noealz]

oh I dont know about shooting night skies and stars :(

[@TANTALUM55]

The Sony DSC- F828 (and other models) has a hack using a magnet to switch the camera IR/UV filter in and out at will creating a full spectrum IR or a normal camera . Switching to IR mode using the magnet hack, allows the full manual use of the camera controls (shutter speed, aperture, iso) . Turning the camera off will revert to normal operation. There are a number of YT videos regarding the magnet hack and the location to place the magnet.

[@Noealz]

interesting~

[@noughtyphotography]

Thank you for this excellent video. I am going to Hong Kong in October, could you let me know which club or shop you went for the conversion? Thank you.

[@Noealz]

i used usa company Lifepixel or Kolarivision - the HK one doesnt exist anymore

[@JohnClulow]

Nice presentation that covers a lot. One point is that with an unmodified dslr you can use R72 - R87 and anything in between. I believe the R72 cuts out 50% at 720 nm so it does allow more through at the top end of the visible spectrum which can be used to generate more color in post processing, but the even bigger advantage is that it produces a much brighter live view image for use in composition and focusing than does, say a filter at 870 nm. Great info on picking up an already modified camera. I am going to look into that for sure. Thanks for the great video !

[@Noealz]

right - but using a 720 would prevent you from using the live view, well on any unmodified camera it is so pitch dark that you can't really see anything. You have to compose first then screw the filter on : ) Have fun shooting with one.

[@JohnClulow]

@@Noealz Using my Pentax K-5 I get a good image in live view by using monochrome and a bright display. I can use it to compose and focus. Pentax may have a weaker hot mirror filter for IR that some others. I can get good exposure at f/5.6 in 2 - 2.5 sec (with both 720 and 870). I'm in the process of modifying an old Pentax Optio W80 to full spectrum by removing the hot mirror filter in and then using external filters. We'll see how that goes.

Excellent video, I have a query I use the R72 filter and like you stated the exposures are long, if I get this camera converted to full spectrum and use the R72 filter with this, will the exposures still be as long? Cheers Malcolm

[@Noealz]

not long : )

[@jane1975]

Malcolm Brown No, the camera will become sensitive from UV light ( UV lens filter required) through the visible spectrum ( hot mirror filter required to shoot ordinary photos) to infrared light up to 900nm, so the exposures will be normal range.

Thanks for the video very informative, but i have one question can you take infrared black and white with full spectrum cam?

[@Noealz]

Yes just buy the 900nm filter :)

[@johnnyd687]

Very informative video. My understanding is with a regular camera you can use 720 and maybe 900 and is the cheapest, but limited option. An IR Camera is limited to the nm you choose and can only go up in nm, not down. But separate, greater nm filters are needed. A full spectrum camera can shoot any nm you choose with the appropriate filters. It seems the least flexible options are least expensive and vice-versa. It would be neat to have a full spectrum DSLR camera with some kind of internal mechanical rotating disk before the sensor allowing user to switch between nm filters. Being done before the sensor would allow user to see the picture in viewfinder in the chosen nm spectrum. DSLR being Digital would allow other camera editing tools like saturation, contrast, sharpness, etc.

[@Noealz]

Exactly :)

[@jasonius81]

Great video, really informative. I had a question, with full-spectrum cameras do you need a tripod? Or can you walk around and shoot like you can with the infrared camera?

[@Noealz]

I think I heard that insects can see many more than just one spectrum, that's really cool - it helps them find the flowers

[@DG-kq8zf]

I should have pluralized and said 'wavelengths'. There's only one spectrum and it goes from the longest radio wave to the shortest wavelength. We see only a small slice of the radio spectrum. Yes we see radio waves. And the frequency is what governs what our eyes receive and sends the signal to our brain which then turn the signals into pictures. I'm wondering what frequencies a bee can see in ultraviolet light part of the spectrum.

Is there a camera that can film the full spectrum so I can separate the visible light spectrum, IR, UV, (and maybe even other bands) out into their own channel in software without making the visible spectrum look different? If not what is the best method for accomplishing this? For example I want to apply effects to the IR and UV spectrum and blend those channels back into the visible spectrum channel.

[@Noealz]

buy a full spectrum camera and use the appropriate filters - you can blend them in photoshop, I made videos about this already : )

[@RoboticusMusic]

@@Noealz Oh wow, I could not find videos about what I described, what is your video called?!

[@ivarnordlkken8082]

No, that is not possible. All cameras can see only 3 colours. IR is recorded or the RED sensor, and UV on the BLUE sensor. You cannot separate IR and RED, nor UV and BLUE. You have to use filters to separate them and take several photos, then combine them in post.

i still dont get how these filters work in video. basic cmos sensors are full spectrum?

[@Noealz]

These don’t work on normal cameras. Camera sensors have filters placed on them that only allow visible light and block infrared and other spectrums, only allowing visible light through. When you get an infrared or full spectrum camera modded, that filter is removed. It is called a hot mirror filter and all cameras have it. Then you use these filters to let the camera know which wavelength is allowed to reach the sensor

590 720, the ones i use are nameless, i think it doesnt matter so much. I had a Hoya r72 but it broke cuz I dropped it, so I replaced it with a namess chinese brand that works just fine : )

[@bardofhighrenown]

@@Noealz Oh okay, good to know. Thanks!

[@rossorori]

sorry,if i want shoot in infrared light(580 nm) then can i shoot also in the nexts spectrum? 680,780,900? for making this i need a modified camera(just that wavelenght) or full spectrum? and for full spectrum i need the all filters right? sorry i’m not english.

[@Noealz]

Right : )

[@brendanstaunton2494]

So do you need a tripod with full spectrum camera @ 900nm?

[@Noealz]

I don't think so because I can do 720 just fine without it - just need a steadier hand

[@jimmyq2videos]

Thanks for the in depth video! I do want to know how to achieve this in video too. Can you tell us what filter you used on your full spec conversion for the images at 12:22 and 12:31?

[@Noealz]

590 : )

[@ivarnordlkken8082]

I have a Pentax K-01 full-spectrum camera. You just put on the desired filter, and just film normally. The camera also have a setting to make the photo/video blackandwhite, so no postprocessing necessary, depending on the result you want. Be aware that the AF can be a little iffy sometimes.

[@godsinbox]

dumb question, how do you know that the IR filter from china is really passing IR? is there a quick test to see if it is just red glass.

[@Noealz]

you gotta use the camera :(

[@dawnwilliams7281]

Please can you help me? I have absolutely no clue about cameras. I am a paranormal investigator and bought a camera modified to full spectrum however, i think i have been ripped off. All my pictures are pure pink and i cant switch to any other setting. Is there anything i can do to find out whether it fake or just IR as opposed to full spectrum? As i say, i am useless in this department so any help / advice you can give would be massively appreciated

[@Noealz]

Well, that is exactly how a full spectrum camera works. When you use full spectrum camera, you need to use various different filters for different wavelengths.

[@clintjanson391]

If I convert to a full spectrum camera and use the filters on the end of lens. Do I still need a tripod due to long exposure times?

[@Noealz]

not at all - that is the main benefit

[@clintjanson391]

Ok thanks mate I enjoy your channel.

[@Gepeto213]

Thanks, it's really interesting! Also I am maybe missing something, but what's the meaning of colored pictures with infrared camera as it is not in the visible range? Black and white pictures do make sense to me as it is representative to a specific wavelength but why some pictures are pink saturated?

[@Noealz]

They are pink because that is a different color wavelength that your eyes cannot see. Your eyes can see visible light. They cannot see the wavelength of pink shadded pictures. And even further, your eyes cannot see deep infrared (black and white).

[@Gepeto213]

@@Noealz yes, that was my point: we cannot see infrared wavelengths. So pink color is a fake color to make it sense to our eyes but it could be another replacement color then. Thus what decides which color to replace with? The way to express nuances/contrast (saturation or smoothness)? I came here next to the following video, seeking on how it is possible to shoot non visible spectrum and yours was just great to have some important answers, thanks kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSqYYCkorqme7s

[@galaxystars6409]

I brought a 590nm camera, does that mean its full spectrum?

[@Noealz]

nope, it is fixed at 590mm - but luckily you can used a 720nm filter too

[@syltography4028]

Hey Noealz, I was hoping you could answer a question for me which I can't find an answer to. What would an image look like if you shot a full spectrum camera with no filter at all?

[@Noealz]

It looks a little piinker than normal :)

[@syltography4028]

@@Noealz good to know, I'm OK with pinky but more so just had concerns that there would be stuff in our out of focus from the IR and near IR. Thanks for your help!

[@Noealz]

@@syltography4028 focus will always be where you focus the camera, with dslr it is a bit of guessing but with mirrorless - what you see is what you get in regard for focusing :)

[@syltography4028]

@@Noealz Awesome, the other thing I'm trying to figure out is would there be enough UV light to get workable images from something like a rave where blacklights are used pretty prominently?

@@syltography4028 if you use long exposures with a Infrared filter, otherwise no problem with a full spectrum or infrared converted camera

[@tombond1520]

nice i like it

[@Noealz]

thanks friend :)

[@ChickenPermissionOG]

you could just put an ir pass filter that is guarantied to only pass ir. They are expensive though. Also take off you uv hot mirror and put a full spectrum filter.

[@Garthgoyle]

Does an Infrared 720nm and a Full Spectrum differ on sharpness? I understand 720 is sharper than 665 but how about a full spectrum?

[@Noealz]

only if you pixel peep : )

You are amzing! It is shame that I found you on youtube by 2020. Are you staying in S.Korea now if I may ask?

[@OccultDemonCassette]

Does using the adjustment brush to "paint" in alternative colors work well on 590nm IR photos?

[@Noealz]

I think so yes :)

[@repunklican1181]

I'm mostly wanting to learn about the full spectrum due to the uap phenomena. For some reason they're never visible in the spectrum we can perceive they're always caught in infared

[@Noealz]

Aha I see! I think you will enjoy it!

[@OlDoinyo]

The R72 filter leaks enough visible light that unconverted cameras with strong hot mirrors will have real trouble. An 800+ nanometerr longpass filter might do a little better.

[@Noealz]

ill have to try it!

[@ivarnordlkken8082]

Or use 2 filters.

[@michaelklages4367]

watching this while taking my canon apart to remove filter and replace it with clear optical glass

[@Noealz]

be careful : )

[@angelisone]

I had my cameras modified IR by ATG and my staff do not need to use a tripod. The camera can take images in total darkness! Four ATG A-1 IR(modified from Sony A-1) Five ATG DSC-RX10 IV R (modified from Sony DSC-RX10 IV One ATG DSC-RX10 V IR And many IR TTL monolights for above cameras.

[@Noealz]

cool :3

[@rendermanpro]

380 is not visible light (UV) and and 590nm is not infrared light (635nm is a red laser pointer), to be clear. But I appritiate your IR and tutorials on the channel. Very nice. Easy way to IR is camcoders.

[@Noealz]

Thank you : )

[@jane1975]

renderman.pro 590nm is called Goldie IR due to the golden foliage that occurs in images taken in that part of the spectrum ( filter equivalent is the Hoya 25A red filter), technically it lets in red visible light plus infrared light. That’s why you cannot use it on a unmodified camera as the sensor will be overwhelmed by the red visible light and not pick up the infrared. Don’t confuse with thermal imaging, that’s a different kind of infrared and isn’t the kind used in infrared photography.
