Excellent.. I had an "old" Nikon D70 my first DSLR languishing in a camera bag, converted last year.... Wow opened up a whole new Wold of photography for me... A converted camera has no problems with long exposure, you can treat it like any other DSLR and hand hold with ease, with "normal" exposure values. You can see through the viewfinder and or live view perfectly for composing and no messing about framing, focusing and then attaching a filter... Cost me around £250 and gave my "old" D70 a complete new lease of life :-)))) Love the vlogs watch them all over and over :-)
Good show my man. Great images, I just posted a film infrared tutorial and you're making me consider trying the digital converted camera option. never thought one could shoot m43 without having it converted I thought the ir cut filter prevented that. I showed a piece of gear allowing you to easily flip the filter out the way for focusing without having to fiddle
Amazing love it. I’m going to try IR photography soon
Excellent Video . Well explained and well presented . Informative and practical . Also the results are first class and speak for themselves . Thank you .
This is easily my favorite video you've published... not because of the infrared topic (though that was quite interesting), but because of how you laid out the video and the information you presented. Usually after watching a youtube photography tutorial video I have one or three questions. Not with your video! And the background music was outstanding!
Thanks MJE. A completely satisfied subsciber at last!
Very nice video…I’m new to IR and have the EP5 and also converted a X-T2 to IR (720nm). Thanks for sharing, Cheers..
Inspiring video...need to get out and use my IR filter now!
Beautiful images.
Very nice introductory video and beautiful images. Thanks for providing it.
Excellent. Something I have been ignoring, assuming I needed my camera converted. I've ONLY got the one, a Pen F. I shall definitely be having a go now.
Very nice work. Beautiful images.
Well my filter arrived today, all I need now is some SUN!!...some very nice photo's of yours, fills me with anticipation.
I really am enjoying your work.you have inspired me to really get to it again. I've been on a ten year hiatus and after seeing your videos I'm going back to work. Thanks for sharing your terrific photos.
Hi, GREAT and inspiring video, thank you very much and congrats for your great job teaching this technique!
That Kerbal Space Program music!
the first thing i learn
Cheers for this short but informative Vlog about infrared photography I also have a Olympus OMD EM1 mk1 so this vlog and your images have inspired me to get a filter and give it a go cheers.
Thank you for your helpful video - the first graveyard photo you show was breathtaking!
Craig... I really enjoyed the video, and your images ...quality!
Thankyou! I have just purchased a 75 filter today and heading out tomorrow?
Great photos. No hot spots caused by the lens. Nice job.
I watched this video, about infrared photography, and was inspired to try it. I had tried is with a Canon camera and found it to be very frustrating. However, I switched to Olympus mirrorless cameras and they are made for this! My Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II flawlessly focused through the filter. I could easily compose the scene through the viewfinder or the rear screen. Using aperture priority at f/5.6 and the 2 second shutter delay, I took the first picture. I captured it in RAW + JPEG (black and white) and was amazed at the results! Shot after shot produced exception results. Thank you for the inspiration. I shoot Olympus for the camera features and infrared is one more feature I will frequently use. A happy subscriber, Tom Hughes
I had a Canon Xs converted with GREAT results. The filter worked with my Canon 60D, but the exposures were too long for consistently sharp results.
Excellent video , one of the best photography video on youtube , it's so nice i have to watch it twice , beautiful artsy images .
Absolutely stunning images, I think images taken in Infrared look a thousand times better than those adapted in post. A truly beautiful video and a great idea for a project.
Thank you Mark
How about a follow up vlog on a more detailed explanation of how you edit your infrared images what software you use and your workflow?
As allways...A keen eye...even in infrared...! Thank You for posting...inspiration for sure...!
Cheers Jakob
Lovely images! I'll definitely be giving this a go, I had thought that the filter was badly inferior to a conversion, so I'm glad to find I was wrong.
I looked for your 'Out of the graves into the red' project but it's not on your website? I would love to see more of it...
ALL stunning photos thank you.
The picture at 2:20 seams unreal. Amazing!
Just got back from shooting with my first IR images wow thank you for inspiring me to give the IR filter and the Olympus OMD combination a go what a great combination. Cheers
Honestly, I've not given this approach much thought.....BUT....!!
Thanks for the overview Craig. Indeed, worth a try in the right conditions as you point out. I'll keep my eye out for a IR filter. Thank you again for the learnings.
I have an FS modded 40D. I really should use it more often. Thanks for the inspiration Craig. :)
Wow! What a lovely, helpful and informative video.
Hello! Delighted to find this well-produced tutorial. While I'm not yet doing IR in a D-SLR, I have shot IR B/W film on and off for years and love the effects when the light is right - and when *I* get it right - always a bit of an adventure, as you recalled from your film shooting. Anyhow, having found a nice freezer-stored stash of Kodak HIE, I'm keen to refine my skills with this favorite IR film (although I've also gotten some quite pleasing results with EFKE 820 and 820 AURA stocks). But your presentation has certainly inspired me to also try the digital route - at least via the filter-and-tripod method. What I most enjoyed about your video was your non-hyped, easygoing, engaging style, well-chosen music in the mix, but especially your uncanny eye for compositions and motifs that work so well when rendered in IR. You've certainly inspired me for my next sunny autumn go with the HIE, during which I hope to directly compare results with Red 25, Dark Red 29, darker red 850 nm, and basically opaque 720 in bracketed sets. Meantime, I've subscribed to your channel and will look forward to more of your presentations. Thanks for the new inspiration! Cheers.
Great video. Just picked up a filter, now just need to get out and use it.
Definitely inspired. Very impressed with your shots and the video.
Talk about good timing! I was just umming and awwing about picking up a filter and this popped up. Sealed the deal. Great video!
Yes, I knew you were undecided David, so popped the video up just for you!
Ha. I thought that was the case. My wife says just don't put up any new videos on telephone prime lenses...
Very interesting effect on the images, didnt know of this type of filter.
just....WWWOOOOWWWWW..!!!! :O some of those pictures really touched my heart!
Thanks, i love your tutorials.
Great photos and good video. Thank you :)
Very helpful video. The first one that I have seen which does NOT require me to convert my only camera. I bought a R72 many moons ago when I had a Rebel XT (that's how long ago) but never had much success as I was basically wing it. I bought a 2000d recently, found my old R72. I wonder what I'll be trying out next :-) Thanks for making this.
Craig, you are a great inspiration. Thanks
Thanks Saaj
Your images are very good, enjoyed the presentation
Excellent work!
Just great, thanks, and appreciated
shockingly superb images. just purchased a filter
Beautiful photos! Your videos are very informative. Thank you!
I use an unconverted Fujifilm X-Pro1 and shoot with a 760nm filter. The screen automatically bightens for focussing with a manual lens and exposures in bright sun are only around 2 seconds. My old Canon EOS D30 is even more sensitive and only requires 1 second exposures, but I use a manual lens on it that I calibrated for IR on the X-Pro1 as autofocus won't work.
Nice one. Thanks... very helpful... I'm brand new to IR.. thus really helped me.
Some stunning images to.
Stunning Images!
Ghostly and beautiful images, I have just started back into film photography mainly because my grandson has started a project at college.
Nice video and photos! For post processing, you don't swap channels, etc? Just straight regular edit with a BW conversion?
Quite informative and enlightening...
Excellent
Tremendously inspiring! Greetings from Chile!
Lovely images.
Love it. Thanks
How to you add some glow? I would have loved to see you over the shoulder editing, since it is an important part of infrared photphraphy unfortunately
the pictures u shot in London are beautiful
also the ones you shot later you are an amazing photographer
My first 720nm infrared filter let in too much visible light. I replaced it with a Hoya 720nm infrared filter an obtained much better results.
Like it. Interestingly there seems to be a big difference between the results you get when using an IR filter with different digital cameras (or brands?). Had no luck with Canon and Fujifilm models, but my old Panasonic FZ-200 works just fine. Fun fact: The iPhone camera works excellent! One can even take handheld pictures, although the camera app then pumps up the ISO to max -- for better results you need an App like ProCam where you can set the ISO, and a tripod... BTW: The Rollei IR 400 film is not THAT expensive and gives good results with an IR filter.
Thanks.
Sir, which all Olympus cameras I can use with Hoya IR filter without converting the camera
Where is that Japanese garden located? please could you let me know the name, thanks
Excellent video, now I have a question, What would happen shooting a standard B&W film ( not IR) with a Infrared Filter in front?? Any idea?
One more crucial point you have not covered is focusing. Perhaps your micro 43 and f5.6 is quite enough to get everything in focus, but for FF it would not work quite the same. The old manual focus lenses have a red dot near infinity sign and if you did not know what it is for, it is for infrared focusing. And also for FF I would use f8 or f11 instead, for longer lenses even more. But focusing is never at infinity, it is a bit closer. The infrared photography is really dependent on the gear you use, camera, lenses and filters. So many variations, some work and some don’t.
I was in a photography class and one of the key instructors had shot a beautiful landscape using an infrared camera. That inspired me to learn more and I found that info in your video. In your UA-cam I have learned everything I need to start with. From what filter to use and what settings to use! And now I can go out and experiment, with some really good knowledge in hand. This was an excellent tutorial! And interestingly enough, I also own an Olympus EM1 Camera. One question, what is the green object on top of your camera shoe used for?
That’ll be the hotshoe spirit level. I prefer using these than the electronic ones in the camera.
very interesting. thank you
Time to take a look on eBay. Does it work just as well in autumn? Your images where super as usual 👍
There is more infrared light during the summer months, but you can still get good results in autumn too.
Inspiring video, Thankyou. I have Olympus camera and lenses. I also have the Laowa ultra wide 7.5mm do you think this lens has a hotspot, whatever that is.
0:26 this shot is great
What is that green thing just wondering
Can this process be transposed to video at all?
Very interesting, thx
Nice work!!! Could you share your basic work flow. William
one thing you haven't mentioned is lens hot spots not all lens are created equal some work with there is a web site that gives an indication of what lenses work and which don't
The graveyard photoshop are beautiful.
Love infrared. Your images are great. I got my EM1-Mii covered. It's a blast!
I've kept my IR project fairly low cost, as I bought a full spectrum converted IR Olympus E-P1L for the princely sum of £85, and then bought a Zomei 850nm filter for £15 .... Bargain, and I don't need to use a tripod because the shutter speeds are higher.
Inspireing!
How do you boost the screen brightness so you can see past the filter? I have a Nikon D5500
I'm very excited about jumping into IR photography. The filter you're using is the one I've seen mentioned several times but there's a line I wanted to try (Hoya Solas IRND). Do you know anything about them? Will they give me the same effect as the Hoya R-72? Thanks for the video, great pics?
what settings do you recommend for a reflex and a sony hybrid?
Another great video Craig, quick question about your tripod. What head are you using? Looks like a Manfrotto one, but I see you have an Arca Swiss style L bracket on the camera. Do you have an adaptor so it fits the Manfrotto clamp?
See my latest video!
I’ve just researched the Laowa lens for IR and no it does not have a hotspot. Looking at buying an IR filter there are some that have 720 950 what is the difference please
Each filter lets different amounts of IR light through. Personally I would recommend an R72 filter, that's what I use.
Is it possible to use the Hoya R72, with a Holga???
What film speed?
I have seen some tutorials about infrared photography, but yours made me want to try it. Before i buy a filter do you know if there is a way to make digital, an ingrared photo out of a normal one?
Most software has an infrared preset, but whether its the same, you'll have to decide yourself.
not exactly a guide but a nice video nonetheless
your composition skills are stunning
i bought an IR filter but Im aiming to be able to make those IR pictures with the crazy colours...hmmm
what is that thing on top of your camera?
Can this effect be done in post with a regular picture an any way?
No. If it could Photoshop would have an Infrared Conversion option.
I agree image at 0:26 is my favorite to. Great work
Hi Craig. Really enjoyed the video. Still unsure about Infrared! I was however very interested in that venue. Could you tell me where it is please. I'm always looking for new venues to keep my motivation going & this looks like a place you could spend a lot of time exploring. Thank you. Robert.
I'm afraid you'll have to subscribe to e6 to find out the two locations Robert!
Oooo I know I know 😆
Hi Alex. Thanks for your reply. I know that the first location is Lyme, but its the second location I was interested in with the small lake & Japanese garden. I really don't understand why he wouldn't let other photographers know locations that are "public". I could understand wanting to "protect" a secret location that was very inspirational, but to say "you have to subscribe" to get that information is really pathetic. I was a subscriber before this, but given his attitude, I unsubscribed. I actually gave him a good tip about a location at Froggatt edge, the stone circle, that I didn't keep to myself. I like to think sharing information, helps to keep other amateur photographers motivated. Anyway rant over, would you like to share with me where this location is? Regards Robert
Robert, this is one of a very few places I haven't revealed the location of in my vids. I'm very open about where I shoot. This video is an e6 Subscription (my website) one, that I decided to edit to go public with on UA-cam. There are two reasons why I withheld location details. Firstly, because I rely on e6 Subscriptions to fund these public UA-cam vids, hence why this is the only promotion you will find on my vids (no SquareSpace ads from me!). Secondly, its a location I probably needed permission to shoot really, but didn't, hence not wanting to shout about it! Your un-subscribe is accepted. Return rant over!
so seriously, if i slap an IR filter on the end of my Nikon D200 it'll produce images similar to yours?
Well no, they'll never be as good as mine! But seriously, yes Derek, it's that easy. Give it a try
'Popular graveyards'? Is that a thing?
a simon marsden fan?
Cheating
you left out tons of important things........MOST LENSES have nasty hot spots and no damn good for IR
some IR pass filters are BAD on some cameras, ....XT1 sucks for IR< XT2 is great for IR......etc.
Theoria Apophasis i can only speak from personal experience. Both lenses i use in the OMD work fine. I've never used a Fuji, so wouldn't know which models work best, but thanks for mentioning these.
A good way to test your sensor for IR is to point your camera with liew view enabled at the business end of a tv remote - press the remote and if you can see it flashing then your sensor can see the IR all you then need is a filter.
Hey Ken, from your perspective what can you say about 590nm for ir photography?
Yeah The god damn hotspot. First time I tried ir photography I met with this problem. Thankfully I had a 50mm lens that doesn't produce hotspot.
@@birdingbilly I tried the remote test on my 5dmk4..I cant see the red light..does that mean the camera cannot shoot IR using a filter? The images I get are red but I'm processing them according to what I see in videos and not getting these results.. Thanks
It seems you are rather misleading folks into thinking they will get the same sort of images from the filters. You know you shot all the nicest images with a converted camera. Time to come clean and show the camera and settings used for each image. Using a 720nm filter will only get you the extreme end of the red channel. You might as well save the money on the filter and just use the red channel. That way you won't lose 10 stops either.
Sorry to inform you Alan, but i don't own a converted camera, never have. If you can't get the same results as me, with just a filter over the lens as I used, then you are doing something wrong.
Then try just using the red channel in photoshop. I think you'll see it's the same as what was allowed to come through the filter. (Your image that you seem to show as being shot by the filter clearly has shadows created by the trees. Your later "processed" shot has almost no shadow at all. Not sure how processing can selectively remove shadows.) Your Olympus may be allowing more IR through than other brands. I don't know the answer to that. I can tell you for sure that on my camera the 720 was exactly the same as the red channel. With an 850nm I get nothing at all.
Alan Cox: Your crystal ball is malfunctioning.
Alan Cox You cannot do IR images just by playing around with the red channel, if that were the case everyone would be doing it. The Olympus camera obviously has a weak IR blocking filter in front of its sensor, which all cameras have and it’s what is removed and replaced with a dedicated Internal IR filter specified be the owner when they send it in. Some cameras have weaker ones than others do, as for the shadows, they can be brought up in post in Lightroom or in Photoshops Camera Raw with the shadows slider. The 850 is too strong for an unconverted camera.
boring......limited appeal...like it or don't like it...Don't like it! No personality...boring.
