@@MathieuStern excellent!

[@jpokeefe]

The photo of the elephant with its head raised and a curved trunk was excellent. Please put it on sale.

now you can ! : mathieustern.darkroom.com/collections/infrared

[@Toastmaster_5000]

I'd be curious to see more reptiles, amphibians, arthropods, and fish in IR. Mammals aren't likely to stand out much since practically none see in IR and fur pigments are quite limited. Contrast that to the others I mentioned where their biology is quite different.

[@samsen3965]

The mysterious world of IR & magical hands of Mathieu on camera. Loved your Sony full spectrum in Red logo and result you show here.

[@CaptainFlips]

It's so interesting and powerful how strongly this isolates the subjects from the background. You almost always have perfect separation which is not always a good thing, but I think in this use case it's quite amazing. Awesome video!

[@dragojuice8716]

Of all of the photos, the first shot of the elephant was my favorite. That said, I loved almost all of them.

Now let’s see macro in IR

[@kingghidorah8106]

beautiful photos. I got my inspiration from these dreamy infrared photos to make my clay renders (basically ambient lighting plus white surface and irregularities)

[@deveshraj18]

Love your work. It'd be amazing to see underwater life like coral or tropical fishes in UV. Keep up the good work brother.

[@JacobCarlson]

Do you know the name or location of the building at 1:48? The architecture is incredible and I'd love to look up more information about it and the architect.

[@abranchesf]

It's the Barbican Centre in London, my friend.

[@deveshraj18]

The pic at 5:04 is just amazing.

What a joy. So glad more people sre exploring infrared

It is always great to see a new video from you, Mathieu! Thank you for sharing the beautiful images from the zoo!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I would totally buy prints of these! Wonderful work.

Wow thanks a lot for this super useful information, always learning , will u be able to photograph people using this filter to see how will affect people skin for portraits, those red/pink colors are fantastic, beautiful photos , very artistic, once again thanks a lot

[@StitchTheOtter]

I recommend using real Apochromatic Optics for this. Such as the Askar 135mm f4.5 that focuses IR light at the same point as visible. Sadly the 135mm is the widest true APO i know.

[@emmanueljimenez9141]

The elephant has a beautiful and muy favorit photo

[@RoadtrippinwithTakacs]

Nice shots, my friend! 💪

[@stuartgreenberg773]

Superb images, thank you for sharing! I enjoy shooting Infrared with a full spectrum camera with IR Chrome & 850nm filters. Would be interested in your post processing workflow.

[@rexharrison6827]

Some lovely images here, both infra red and normal. The video clips were particularly lovely. I assume you're using digital cameras to achieve the infra red look. The question arises: wouldn't it be easier to use a film camera and infra red film to achieve the same results and not have to rip the camera apart? I did this many years ago using Kodak infra red positive film and the results were fascinating, with rich purples and magentas. I didn't use filters at the time to modify the colours, though.

[@izuix5629]

With digital you can take the colors wherever you want. Also once the camera has been converted you can shoot pretty much infinitely.

[@izuix5629]

@@rexharrison6827 btw do you have your infrared film photos somewhere? I'd be interested to see them

[@StephenStrangways]

Good luck trying to buy colour infrared film these days. It was all discontinued 17 years ago, so the only stuff that's left is deteriorating and costs a fortune from the few people who have stockpiled it.

[@rexharrison6827]

@@StephenStrangways Yes, not surprising, it's been many years since I used any. And like everyone else, I've moved into digital. I wonder if it's still supplied to research labs or if they too have transitioned into all digital equipment?

[@nienke7713]

Why do the animals look pretty much the same in IR? It looks as if you just swapped in pink to replace green in post, because that's the only change I notice

[@Mobin92]

Because he photographed animals that can't see in IR. So they didn't develop any visible patterns to attract mated or so.

[@nienke7713]

@@Mobin92 infrared is also commonly used to detect heat radiated by animals (and you can for instance tell a difference between warmblooded and coldblooded animals as a result), so I don't see why that wouldn't show up here. They don't need to develop specific infrared patterns to look different in infrared than they usually look.

[@izuix5629]

​​@@nienke7713 Most animals emit thermal radiation in long-wave infrared (LWIR) at wavelengths around 10 000 nm. Which is a far greater wavelength than the near infrared (NIR) this camera can see (just 700nm - 1000nm). That's why it doesn't show up here. (For reference: the colors of the rainbow we can see range from 380nm - 750nm. We see those different wavelengths as different colors.)

[@dettrax]

I saw your Blazar Remus video. How did you mount the Poco adapter on the Fx3 without the VND wheel coming in the way of the FX3 cage?

[@MathieuStern]

Not really a problem with the cage ! What model do you have ?

@@MathieuStern I am looking to buy the new Hawklock cage for my FX3. I heard some KZbinr say that it will be a problem until I saw you 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing tiger shots

[@philmtx3fr]

Hi Mathieu very interesting video. Can you just explain more your work on photoshop because I am quite surprised the vegetation is modified but the animals not too much. Do you use layers and mask to do that ?

[@StephenStrangways]

That's just how IR looks, straight out of the camera: plants reflect a lot of IR light, but animals don't.

[@philmtx3fr]

@@StephenStrangways ok thx Steve,

[@WhiteGoldSynesthesia]

Very cool! ❤

[@sandeepsv9804]

Could you try taking anaglyph 3d photo next

[@pey-yote]

How does the conversion affect the camera's autofocus?

[@MathieuStern]

no idea, I never use autofocus

[@StephenStrangways]

A mirrorless camera can autofocus just fine, but a quick and dirty DIY conversion, not replacing the IR cut filter but simply removing it and leaving nothing, can prevent many lenses from focusing to infinity.

[@unbroken1010]

It looks more like a sanctuary then a zoo of cages which is a good thing. I hate the Bronx zoo, it looks cramped and inhumane. This place looks a bit more flexible and big

[@cruzdesangre2850]

Processing infrared images is a long and complicated process, I don't know if video editing tools even support processing that kind of footage.

[@Eskey4]

@@cruzdesangre2850 You can for sure try it, but you would probably need RAW file and a lot of work in davinci resolve to get same results

[@ajgonzalez5109]

@@cruzdesangre2850 Color is color and pixels are pixels. The sensor doesn't capture more information, it is just arranged differently; therefore, editing video should be just as easy or complex as editing video in normal visible light colors.

He already made a video in infrared, search on his channel for "Using the DUNE Filter to Shoot a Video" video

[@cruzdesangre2850]

@@ajgonzalez5109 I know, what I meant is that tools like Adobe Premiere or DaVinci may not have the properties to "fix" the infrared colours, as the raw files are only in shades of red and pink
