Cool comps and renditions…
I love the stronger contrast.

Hi guys, sorry to bust in on the most amazing pictures, but I have a question. Am just starting photography , I have a d3300 and a 18-55mm lens I have a r720 filter (tho it was only £6) so not sure if it even works right The question is , are most IR pictures done with converted camera's or can you get the same pictures without the conversion ,cos I love this type but I don't want to change my new camera to just that. Thanks
This is correct. The main problem you may come across is trying to set an accurate white balance which is normally done with the filter on and using grass in bright sun light to set the balance. It can be changed in processing if needed as long as you shoot Raw. There are plenty of tutorials some I think I've linked to earlier in this thread.Yes you can do it with an unconverted camera, though it is a little more difficult.
Main problem is that the amount of light getting to the sensor is much less, so a tripod is needed, as you will need a longer exposure.
This does lead to movement in foliage and clouds on all but the most still of days, restricting you a little on what you can shoot and when.
No reason not to give it a go though, better to try it to see if you like it before spending out on a converted camera.
Looks like your filter is working fine - have a look through these links - they may help you process it a littleThanks for the reply , I did take a couple of shots today but, I am starting to wonder if this filter I bought is any good at all. This was on a cloudy day tho :/ and no matter how I try to get this in PS it looks nothing like what people have here.
This was on a setting of F11 / 8s shutter / iso 100 might be totally wrong , and it could be why , but some advice would go a long way. Thanks.
Well I took my first one today (out of about 50) that I liked. Found out today that the IR filter I bought for £6 looks like its just a light red filter , cos the Hoya one I bought you can't see through , but the other you could. Anyway here is my first image, comments and or criticism is very welcome. Not the best in photoshop P.S was very over cast.
The 16-35/4 already has a noticeable light falloff (-1 at the edges and -2 in the corners) so it's fairly inevitable that you'll see something. That said, it is easier to recover in IR images as the contrast range can be manipulted more without things becoming to obvious.I'd like to try some IR, is the Hoya R72 good buy? Is there likely to be any vignetting if used with a 16-34 F/4 at 16mm?
Thanks Bob, good to know.The 16-35/4 already has a noticeable light falloff (-1 at the edges and -2 in the corners) so it's fairly inevitable that you'll see something. That said, it is easier to recover in IR images as the contrast range can be manipulted more without things becoming to obvious.

There is a converted D200 in classifiedsAll this lovely weather has spurned me on to get another IR camera!
What wavelength?There is a converted canon G9 on its way to me
Good stuff - I've converted a few myself and full spectrum is the best way to go - so versatile.Full spectrum, bought a couple of filters to go with it as well, one is an 850 not sure what he said the other was, 680 maybe.

I use from 540 up to 850nm on mine but prefer 680nm for most use.
It's surprisingly easy and there are tutorials for most cameras on YouTube.Nice one, I did a slight mod on a sony with night shot, but wouldn't fancy trying anything else
Can't wait to get it and try it out.
