Modifying a camera to full spectrum can be expensive, So If you don't have a camera you want to modify or just don't have the budget for it, I created the Infrared Lut, that can recreate the look of the IR chrome filter on any video footage and even on photos.

I am buying this right now
Does it work in photoshop ?
@@tasteinparis7138 YES ! ;)
I did it for 40$ with a old Nikon D50, there’s no instructions though
What format is the LUT in? Is it .cube? I plan on using it with either Affinity Photo or Pixelmator Pro
great video, removing the IR filter from your camera has actually bin a very common thing in the astrophotography community because most emmision nebulas emmit light in the spectrum which is mostly cut by the filter. So perhaps you can try out some astrophotography with your modified camera
This was my first thought when I saw this.
Yess please do that for us 🙏🏼
wow, no wonder I drew similarities between his photos and ones of space
*been
Crows, ravens, starlings, and similar birds apparently are like incredibly chromatic with full-spectrum cameras. That is definitely something to try.
Wow, the conversion with in body filter replacement allowing me to use any lens, that's super cool. I think this may be the push I needed to get into this stuff.
I love the retro aesthetic it creates. It really does feel like you're viewing another world, or at the very least, another time.
A movie shot entirely with this filter would be amazing
This is one of the most amazing photography tricks I´ve ever seen. Thanks for showing us :D
Glad you liked it!
As I was seeing each photograph, I kept thinking, "That place is absolutely beautiful. I want to go there one day," but then had to remember that I wouldn't be able to visit those places and see the same things as the photograph
So an interesting question is why do almost all plants reflect infrared so strongly? Especially because the strongest emissions of the sun are actually in the infrared range, so the plants are missing out on a ton of energy here! The reason is essentially this: photosynthesis needs some minimum amount of energy from each photon - and infrared photons don't have enough energy. So plants use higher energy photons in the visible range, and reflect infrared because infrared would just heat them up needlessly. And that's why all plants are bright in the infrared range.
Plus plants would heat up significantly more in the sun, causing them to evaporate large quantities of water to reduce the risk of heat damage
The strongest emission of the sun is visible green light. Hence why our eyes are most sensitive there. Most definitely not IR.
Our eyeballs are filled with a watery fluid. It absorbs the IR light. If you look into a fire without glasses, you will feel the heat of the IR radiation. The eyes become very warm. Hardly any IR is likely to reach the retina.
Makes me think that if we had alien tourists who seen in a slightly different spectrum, they would go to strange unvisited parts of the world to see the amazingly colourful landscapes that humans just can't see. (right now)
I love this! My favorites are the seascapes with red at the bottom of the mountains.
Me too, the sea color is amazing
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Time to save up for a DSLR for these modifications
Go for it! you won't regret it
Id recommend a mirrorless camera because you wont be able to see anything with a prism viewfinder
@@danielperkins6462Ah interesting. Thanks for your input, I come from the world of analog photography so I'm a little out of the loop in terms of digital camera technology
The green vegetation has very strong near infra red (NIR) and VNIR reflectance spectrum. As a result an image with pixel values corresponding to NIR reflectance, can be composited into NIR false color palette.
NIR imaging and mapping is used in remote sensing for vegetation change detection and related anomaly studies.....
IIRC this has evolved because the IR photons do not have enough energy to be used for photosynthesis. Reflecting the useless IR helps stop the plants from overheating in full sunlight.
@@charleslambert3368 insightful...
So amazing!
Glad you think so!
Maybe you could customise a lens for me :) ?
The reason that Seaweed also turns red is because Infrared is reflected by a plant-cell component called Mesophyll. It's in every plant, altough some have more and some have less of it, or the structure differs (hence some plants are more yellow)
I’ve had three cameras that I used for infrared. The first was an old very old Nikon with 2 more sensor. I bought an infrared filter but I could only shoot in bright light. The second one, a Pentax ox, I had converted by a guy at eBay. It was a real dlr. it worked fine with all the lenses. It had an it filter for 720 nm. It was hard to get blue skies. It took 4 double AAs and never lasted long. I still have it but I don’t use. The last camera was a Panasonic gx7, bought new and shipped to Life Pixel. They installed a blue sky filter. I sold that one. It worked quite well with minimal work needed in photo shop. You didn’t mention if the skies came out naturally blue. Also, I’ve never been able to get natural skin color. I kinda gave up on infrared. In some ways, it’s a gimmick. I still enjoy looking at it. I’ve never found a good LUT for making videos. It seems like regular people don’t really know what they’re looking at. And real photographers don’t seem to care.
I think you point out an important point...that it's great to try an IR conversion, but it may not turn out to be such an important tool in one's image toolbox, For me, I generally do landscape images in the morning light or the late afternoon light. ...while Infrared gives me something fun to play with when the sun is high in the sky and harsh and most other images just suck!
The next step from this would be : AR (augmented reality) glasses with different "clip filters" so you can visually see things like the camera, but just through AR glasses
Not to be a buzzkill but it would be pretty tough to do that since the clip filters just block out other types of light and the sensors on the cameras are the ones that pick up all of the infrared/UV light. Closest thing that's on the market that can do this are big and heavy phosphor night vision goggles which take mainly infrared light only and turn that into blue or green light depending on what phosphor. Unless you did a whole digital thing thats just a screen infront of your eyes with some video sensors that collect the whole spectrum from infrared to UV it would be pretty tough. But even with that it would be heavy since you would be mounting electronics onto your head. Also another problem would be that our eyes don't like to focus on things that are too close to them so your gonna have to have the glasses or screens like 3 inches away from your eyes
@@ilanmoore6957 Dude, just look up what AR is.
And modern AR/VR devices aren't all that bulky either. Soon they'll commercialize stuff, that's as thin as snowboarding goggles. Meanwhile AR eye contacts are in the final stages of development.
@@tempname8263 They've been saying that stuff for 20 years now.
@@aniquinstark4347 People like you seriously amaze me. It's like saying, "5G? They've been saying we'll have wireless communication since 100 years ago"
@@aniquinstark4347 You really need to check your calender. It's 2022, we already have VR and AR, and both have been immensily minituarized over last couple of years.
These are by far some of your best images! I am in love, and am completely in awe of the results!!
Those pictures would EASILY be my wallpaper, love the results so much!
This is a dream of mine. I always loved in fantasy movies/games when the grass and foliage were red or purple. I need to get this when I can!
thank you so much for making this video. i started following your work from reddit and down the rabbit hole, here i am following you! love your work! thank you for sharing this knowledge with us.
These are some of the most beautiful photographs I've ever seen. Just the change in color makes every shot look like it's from a Wes Anderson movie. Amazing video as always !
Mathieu, yours is by far one of my favorite photography channels. I bought the smoke genie because of you. Keep em coming.
Wow, thanks!
I hope you will like the upcoming video
@@MathieuStern I always like the next video :)
This is SO fascinating, thank you for sharing it Mathieu! This is what I love about cameras, that they open up different perspectives on the world, and this is one really special perspective! Can't wait for pt. 2 ~
THIS IS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS IVE SEEN IN MY LIFE!!😱
Absolutely beautiful colors🤩
This makes me wanna get a modified camera so badly and just take a ton of pictures, and explore the world through a new and different lens! 🤩
So excited to see you've caught the IR bug too! In my experience, the IR Chrome filter provides a very unique rendering. Compared to a lot of other IR-pass filters, like the 550nm, the IR Chrome seems to let in slightly less IR. Given healthy grass reflects about four times as much IR as it does visible light, cutting the IR a bit can make it a bit easier to get a balanced exposure. Looking forward to seeing what you post next!
I would love to see a video that's nothing but the photos and video you've taken using this cool conversation.
this video was eyegasm! i hope your photography will be well appreciated even more! in the future ...great work
OMG🤤. Now I want my eyes to see the world like this for forever. It's so mesmerizing ❤️❤️❤️
I really like the simplistic look of these images! And it's a cool way to see the world :)
Fascinating. I’d like to have spectacles that do the same. Wedding photography would also be amazing..😍
With Infrared, you can create dreamy worlds in film making.
This is an incredibly valuable and comprehensive video! Thank you for all the efforts and I have saved this on my IR playlist.
Also the shot at 7:17 is probably my favorite even though it is fully red
I made my Sony A-6000 into a full spectrum camera two years ago and have been intent on doing it well while being as cost effective as I can so hares some stuff I would have liked to know when I started: Its nearly $50 cheaper to get a fern green glass filter by Roscolux (they make filters for stage lighting, you could maybe find something similar somewhere else) and a tiffin hot mirror filter (has to be tiffin's since it doesn't cut out the red edge on plants but does stop deeper infrared) to clean out the purple colored IR. The green filter essentially cuts out stuff from yellow to red strongly with a leak in IR like IR chrome does, only this one filters by reflecting unwanted wavelengths while IR chrome absorbs them and leaks some purple IR wavelengths. Being a green filter, it lets though around 500nm and leaks past the edges of the visible spectrum with a band from near UV, visible, and near IR forming the image but it's close enough to visible wavelengths for my camera's auto WB to actually work with it at times. I had to mount it using small filter rings so I could fit it in my lens adapter as an internal filter (this had the least reflections), but it worked in front of the lens only with more reflections. It makes plants look kind of orange or yellow right out the camera like IR chrome and you can do post processing to make it look red about the same.
For other filters, just about all that can be done by hand with a full spectrum modded camera can be accomplished if you have a red filter, an orange one, a 720 or 750nm, and an 800nm. It's also nice to have a swatch book of gel lighting filters since sometimes you will find cool effects the eye won't show using those. That's actually how the guy that made the IR chrome filter figured it out; it was a sea green filter that passed a lot of IR and worked well enough that led to the current IR chrome filter. If you REALLY want to do a faithful recreation of the film the IR chrome filter is imitating, then there's this filter called "DB 850" and with an orange filter like an O-16 you do a channel swap with blue to red, red to green, and green to blue that works pretty well, if white balanced.
Also for some good places with info on this online there's "UltravioletPhotography" a forum with good people and tons of information focusing on UV but some people talk from all sides of multispectral photography with stuff like Aerochrome filter stacks, David tweed's blog "Next Eyes" talks about a few things that UVP doesn't (it's also just neat to look through), and finally edwardnoble.com is important since he has a huge collection of info on how different lenses do in IR among the things on his website, the lenses there worked awesome since the trial and error is done already for a good bit.
This pictures look like they came from a different universe, spectacular!
Kolari Vision has impeccable customer service! They answered all my questions via email extremely promptly and with lots of helpful info.
Wonderful video with fantastic images. I really enjoyed this one Mathieu! THX for sharing!
Bro I swear that looks like you're on a nother planet, awesome and really pleasant to the eyes
PORTUGAL!! 🙌🏼😁 ... This is a beautifully inspiring video, thank you 🙇🏼♂
Man, I have to say, that thumbnail just heavily reminded me of No Man's Sky's first trailers for some reason. Great work on the photography!
Wow this is the absolute wet dream of infrared photography. I wish there still was infrared film...
What an amazing result! Can't wait for the next part!
These pictures, I went that cliffside in Portugal and recognised it! It looks so beautiful in your images, great video.
I also got a camera modified, to full spectrum. The great thing about Kolari Vision, is that for full spectrum, you can get the Fused Silica sensor cover, which is useful for someone who might decide and want to do UV photography sometime later. Also, an interchangeable camera can be more versatile; a compact camera might not be able to do UV. It can also be important to choose a kit that doesn't make for hotspots.
I've ben looking for a video like this for years! Thank You!
Gorgeous shots of Sintra! Even more dynamic with these filters!
Palacio da Pena in Lisboa, Portugal. Great place to travel. Nice video!
That creates such beautiful alien-looking landscapes, inspiring
For a long time i was like i know this place. Then came to me that this is my homeland Portugal. Really nice shots they have the essence of the places even in red!
Great video! I suggest you shooting vegetation on autumn when its all red and yellow in visible light, will it differ? Also you can try to modify your camera to shoot flowers in ultraviolet and you will find out most of flowers have a uv path for bees to help em find what they are looking for :)
Complètement ouf. J’aurai jamais imaginé cela ni les résultats obtenus.
Merci et continues de nous émerveiller.
Avec plaisir 🙂
C'est fascinant à quel point certains éléments changent de couleur et d'autres non... J'attends avec impatience les prochaines vidéos sur le sujet !
Cool effect. Makes the image look like every generic stylized 3D Indie video game ever out there.
Jokes aside, these images actually look phenomenal. Makes the world look like a place I actually wanna live in now.
This is amazing! Loved the pink tones at the end
Amazing results!
Portugal!!!! Lisbon, Sintra, Portimão, Algarve! Nice... and really nice photos and IR is outworldy. part two please!
It’s online already !
Very thankful for your content, eye opening
This is absolutely breathtaking!!
Looks stunning!
Those photos are incredible! I love how it makes it look like another world…
i wonder what place is that
@@yabuki2502 I may be wrong, but I believe Mathieu is in France
Many of the locations shown were from Portugal, as one of the highlights being in 4:09 which shows the Palace of Pena
@@HoolyjammerComment thank you so much
Welcome to the infrared world. Good job, I'll stay tuned to see your second part.
Beautiful shots from Portugal
I went to Şirince and Ephesus this year,and I gotta say, seeing it all in infrared has made me appreciate the landscape even more.
This is an amazing new view in photography that I never knew about. Thank you for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful! almost looks like another planet.
Would love to see the other filters.
I absolutely love this it's almost like your photographing a whole new world 😍
Wow this truly has blown my mind , and yes I now want to get my Sony modified. Thank you for this upload 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love this. I plan on doing this when I upgrade to a new camera.
Based on the price to buy a camera and price modify one to this, I bet this is the best option for those looking to emulate Aerochrome. It would be interesting to test.
Wow what a beautiful view of the world
All the photos are stunning!
Thank you so much!
i love how the images look, i love thinking that the landscapes are images from mars, absolutely incredible
This was different, unique and creative!
This is really cool. I really need to think about doing this!
So fascinating, thank you so much for this incredible video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
From what I know digital camera without with removed IR filter can be used to observe health of plants (especially forests), because sick trees that suffer from some diseases, often do not reflect IR rays so well, although the naked eye does not see it - a camera without an IR filter can notices this.
C'est incroyable ! J'ai envie de prendre toutes mes photos comme ça !
It's a quite surreal and awesome look
Love the IR chrome! Been shooting with an old xt20, but this video has made me want to upgrade!
this is beautiful. it looks like when i was a kid and screwed with the tint and couldnt get it back to default so i just left it like that till my parents fixed it.
what an interesting point of view, seems photography never gets stale. I love the play on words in that com0anies name too
This looks amazing!!!!
bruh... this is incredible, just drop all 4 parts at once lol Seriously though, will be following this series; thanks for taking the time!!!
thank you so much for sharing these special views
Was thinking how a film shot in this style would look alien, then remembered the opening of Star Trek Into Darkness
that photo at 3:10 is truly spectacular, i'd buy a print of that
First animals that came to my mind were turtles and crocodiles but I think many more would look interesting with the infrared camera. Hope to see you shoot them and good journeys
god i love that infrared colour film they made for foliage surveys, it's so cool, and so sad it's not made anymore
OMG this is amazing !
Some very cool results
This is amazing!
NO WAY! i JUST bought a A7 ii full spectrum! what a coincidence.
i'm based in canada, really looking foward to trying it some more.
cheers!
this is so amazing!!!
Looks like the landscape of some far away planet! Very neat!
Oh man this is truly amazing
Looks awesome
You can also add filters to the lens and reach a near-infrared spectrum. THAT already looks amazing too and it is a lot easier and cheaper to do than modifying your camera and possibly risking it to be damaged. I remember having seen someone demonstrating that a few years ago with a DIY combination of several Filters screwed onto each other. You can also of course use a single filter like a Kood R720 which filters / blocks visible light up to 720nm. This is in the $25-30 region and is an affordable way to try something that gives you these weird infrared colours. It's not as good as these higher priced filters that block even more (and also increase exposure time) but it's a good way to try it out without wasting too much money.
Perfect example of how a review should be! Well done! Great shots! 📸
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so cool!
I love how this is basically an Autumn filter
I read that as "autism filter" 😂
