    My brother was into Speleology and he would go alone sometimes, greatly dissuaded by everyone and for good reasons. He went on one of those trips, didn't tell anyone, and disappeared. 5 years later the police found his body. His body was just bones. So nope, cave exploring is not for me.

    I've been thinking about getting a full spectrum conversion by Kolari for quite some time but I was always so unsure about how it would work out with the customs fees and everything (I'm german). I was scared that it would cost way more than anticipated and that it might not work at all because I forgot part of the paperwork. Could you maybe do a video about how you did this step by step? I guess there isn't much of a difference between France and Germany. I would very much appreciate it. Thanks for the video!

      I believe you are just hung up on the Customs cost, maybe check what would electronics items custom duty is and rest you can clarify on kolarivision itself. They have very intuitive way of telling you what filter will result in what image and rest is all experimenting. Good luck!

    Have you tried flash inside caves? Flash has an incredible ammount of IR wave lenght. Never tried it, been to maybe two caves in my life and I didn't have a converted camera on me, but if you go regularly you might get something interesting. Of course for that kind of space you'd have to use a dedicated flash unit but I assume you have one. On camera flash will probably come out short.

    Those pictures are amazing. There are so many hidden beauties that our eyes just cannot see. I also wonder, does adding the IR filter reduces the sharpness of the pictures?

  • @Veptis
    @Veptis 3 місяці тому

    you should consider a multispectral or even hyperspectral camera. maybe something beyond the near infrared?
    by having many more channels available you can mix the resulting RGB image in many exciting ways - they don't have to be additive or chromatic order at all.

  • @Swordfish728

    This is shockingly beautiful. Tourism boards need to add addressable RGB lighting to caves so you can see this with your own eyes. Then watch visitor numbers go through the roof!

    • @wooddogg8
      @wooddogg8 26 днів тому

      They do, this is what you're looking at. Without the lighting the pictures would be black. Mamouth Caves in Kentucky has a great lighting display and they make sure to shut the lights of for several seconds to show you blackness!

    Great video and photographs. If anyone is interested, it is possible to do infrared photography with an unmodified camera by using an infrared lens filter (Hoya R72). The main drawback of this approach is that it will require lower shutter speeds and some lenses exhibit IR hot spots (the center of the image will contain a bright blob), but it's a great way to try infrared photography without investing in camera modification.

    I love infrared photography! I have a plan to do a full spectrum conversion on a Z7 camera if I find a good cheap used one. With the conversion, it'll cost me as much as a new Z7II, that's my justification to get something that gives this unique look both to B&W as well as coloured photos.

    I love to photograph in Caverns, there are some close to me in here is the US in Pittsburgh, PA (Laurel Caverns near Uniontown PA) which are great fun to visit and photograph. My neighbor also recently went on a National Geographic tour of caves in France and Spain which feature cave paintings. She's a retired anthropologist and all around fascinating person!

  • @dsvilko

    Beautiful photos. I haven't tried it in a cave but small calcite (terrestrial weathering) veins in my extraterrestrial rocks :) (meteorites) can give quite a bright white fluorescence when hit with an easy to get 365nm longwave UV LED. I am curious if calcite in caves also fluoresces. Could possibly make an even more interesting false-color composite photo. For best effect you need a UV-pass (VIS-block) filter for your flashlight as UV LEDs still emit some visible light in the far violet/blue range.

    Btw it is possible to shoot infrared photos on un-modified camera. Just the exposure time will be much longer. and I think would be nice to have a tripod, but that's not a big problem for landscape shots.
    Also today I played with an old compact camera with CCD sensor- colors are so beautiful, as people say "film-like".

    • @danieldelira1417
      @danieldelira1417 Рік тому +1

      Yes it is possible! You simply need an screw-on infrared filter, which will be absurdly dark as it only allows infrared light to hit the sensor, so yes the exposure times will be quite long! However, the images will appear nearly monochromatic with heavy contrast as the sensor is not really made to "understand" those wavelengths of light.
