Brilliant, beautiful images. Lee Acaster is gifted with a wonderful eye for composition. His work has a peaceful, and yet artistically taught quality that is very impressive. I enjoy looking at his images.
Thanks for your video! I'm just starting to explore IR for black and white photography. I am getting a Canon RP camera converted but I'm disappointed to hear the issues with light leak with RF lenses. Since I plan on doing landscape shots handheld with f/8 or less, do you think this light leak will be an issue or should I use my EF lenses with the adaptor? I'm trying to keep my weight down as I do a lot of hiking and like the option to shoot color and B&W so bringing more glass is a problem - especially since the EF glass is heavy.
I'm 3 months new to photography and have found your style of video presentation really good and I find I take in loads of useful info this way. You've inspired me to get stuck in too. I've followed your style with the Canon 5D mk2 kit with the lee filters etc. I'm now looking at getting a IR converted camera. I understand the conversion but I'm not sure which spectrum to look for. I want to get the black and white punchy images. I'm off to the show in Birmingham soon so I might get some advice there . Thanks.
Lee, Great video and really inspiring. Is St Benet's Mill at St Benet's Abbey site? We are not locals, but hope to try & track down this mill near eater, so some clue as to the location would be great. Chers
Does the lens focus need to be slightly adjusted with digital ir. I'm referring to the IR scale that used to be etched on to most older lenses? Great vid very informative Thanks!!
+John Edwards Hi John, Ive only used one, but the Cokin www.wexphotographic.com/buy-cokin-p007-infrared-720-89b-filter/p1000762?mkwid=sqb5hwmuc_dc&pcrid=103468882929&kword=_cat%3awexphotographic.com&match=b&plid=&gclid=cotoy8lhwswcfuwq0wodzz4gag did a god job for me
Thanks Lee,now i know how all the cool black and whites i see are created.I just may get my old 40D thats doing nothing converted to infra-red,is it expensive?
+William Connell Hi William, its not for everybody, a bit of a love/hate thing, but I love it. To get a 40d done would probably be in the region of £200-300 I think. You can always get a screw on IR filter to experiment with though before committing to converting a camera
+Lee Acaster For a 77mm thread could you recommend a brand of IR filter or are they all pretty much the same? I'ts coming into our autumn here in N.Z. which should be a good time to try this kind of photography i would think,cheers.
Lee - I loooove your work, in particular your work at the shingles bank. I have a question - do you shoot all of your B+W with your infrared adapted camera or is it only particular scenes where you think it will work?
Hi, great video, thanks for this series. Quick question. You mention setting the white balance but if shooting in raw this shouldn't matter. So do you set the white balance simply because you use "live view" to help the LCD display when framing the shot?
+wendy chapman Hi Wendy, it's possible to convert a 50D, but I would recommend looking at something full frame if you want to do landscapes. Lee uses the Canon 5D mkII, and although it's an older model of camera as you can see by his work it still produces outstanding results and seems to be a favourite for IR conversions.
+Wex Photographic Thank you for replying. I think you make good points. I have an old 50D but I think full frame makes more sense. I will begin a search.
I know of several photographers that have managed to pick up something like a Canon 5DmkII that has already been converted, so it's certainly worth keeping an eye out for something like that.
+wendy chapman Hi Wendy, just to add I think it depends on who big you want to print your work, I know lots of people who use 'lesser' cameras to great effect. I personally love full frame so got a used 5Dmkii to convert. The same rules would generally apply to choosing a standard camera
When it comes to black and white photography, the ideal nanometer setting often depends on the specific look you want to achieve. For traditional films, around 400-500 nanometers is commonly used for contrast, but experimenting with different settings can help you find your preferred style. What effect are you aiming for?

This is such an excellent video. Thanks kindly for putting it together.

wow, that was fantastic! infrared truly is magical
+Ed G Thank you Ed, it is great fun to shoot
I got white spots on my Nikkor 20mm f 1.8 lens but at higher apertures than 6.3 so I must try lower ones. Thanks 📷👍
This was so coooool! It demonstrated the many fcsets of this art form Photography.
+Rick Mentore thank you Rick
Throughly enjoying this excellent series.
+David Dean thank you David
Great video Lee. So inspiring. Planing my next shoot in Norwich and I will def pen in the landmarks you've visited. Again thank you so much.
+Ali Raza Khan Thank you Ali, and hope you get sen good shots there
Beautiful work. You really make the IR sing. Which version of filter and conversion do you use? 720, 850?
Very helpful advice. Thanks for posting.
Great video and GREAT shots - which filter did you have your camera converted to?
Excellent video

I really don't care cor Infrared Color photos, but Infrared B&W can be stunning.
What do you print your beautiful photos on. How do you frame?
Great series. Thanks Lee. Wonderful work. I want to convert a camera to IR now.

Hi really enjoed this thank you, could you tell me who converted your camera?
Does the lens focus need to be slightly adjusted with digital ir. I'm referring to the IR scale that used to be etched on to most older lenses? Great vid very informative Thanks!!
great tutorial! I don't want to convert my D810 to IR, but I just ordered an IR filter. I hope that'll work out as well.
Great video. Could you recommend a IR filter I could try out before looking to buy and convert a camera? Many thanks.

Can u please mention what lenses are appropriate for infrared photos?
Is infrared photography possible during night time ?
Lee - I loooove your work, in particular your work at the shingles bank. I have a question - do you shoot all of your B+W with your infrared adapted camera or is it only particular scenes where you think it will work?
Fabulous images
Wasn't going to watch this but glad that I did. How much does it cost to convert a DSLR to infrared?
About £300 ish
Black and white infrared is the best

SpongBob Voice: Seven Years Later...
Really nice images 👌
Would a Canon 50D DSLR be a good camera to convert to IR or do you need a camera which is is higher end to produce quality images?
+wendy chapman Hi Wendy, it's possible to convert a 50D, but I would recommend looking at something full frame if you want to do landscapes.

How do u custom white balance
With the ir filter or without it
Debating how many nanometers to use for black and white

For traditional films, around 400-500 nanometers is commonly used for contrast, but experimenting with different settings can help you find your preferred style. What effect are you aiming for?
