    One of the VERY few things I liked about film was that I could buy Kodak Infr Red B&W film and use itfor any subject. I once did a full series of infant pix with it

    That's cool. I saw the Heaton video and it made me curious. This is a nice alternative. I agree, photography in the summer sucks. And I live in Florida...90 degrees temps and 90% humidity.

    I converted one of my Nikons, an old D800 to 720nm IR with great success. I shot IR with mediocre results, some 40 years ago and using sheet film 3 1/4 x 4 1/4, 5 x 7 and 35mm. I'd never go back. I can hand hold when necessary but still use a tripod 95% of the time doing any type of photography. On the color side for example when you color swap you start on the red channel and put RED to 0 and BLUE to 100, then on the blue channel the reverse: BLUE 0 and RED 100. This will give you a dark cyan sky and sometimes bright pink foliage, NOT that interesting but fine when you convert to BW. I'm leaving out the steps in getting to BW, but in color you can then further manipulate the blue and red values on both the blue and red channels and get some pretty spectacular results in exaggerated color.

    Thanks for sharing your video it be nice to know right from the start of how you set the fugifllm up and know how to do the timer on it and white balance for people like starting. Thanks

    Been using the r72 and the adapter rings for years. Generally it really works well on the Fujis not so well on Sony in my experience.

      May I ask you “not so well” with respect to your Sony … what do or don’t you like ? I have Sony !0! And I’m worried I don’t even know. How bad mine are

    The 18-55 on my converted Fuji E 3 has a terrible hot spot. Have to shoot f4 to get rid of it.

  • @sclogse1
    @sclogse1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These hot spots seem to be about coatings. Thinking of using old non Fuji lenses on manual.I recall that on Fuji you can set the camera with Fuji X lenses to see what things look like wide open while you've stopped down, just like cameras in the 60's did. Does that help you? And if I may ask, just what does the Hoya filter do? Is it red, or blue, or....?

    • @EdwardMartinsPhotography
      @EdwardMartinsPhotography  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a very very dark red, hard to see through. It limits the light transmission to the infrared band. This isn't really a type of photography I do often.

    • @paulbonge6617
      @paulbonge6617 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hot spots are exacerbated by lens element coatings, the number of lens elements in each lens AND aperture, so even in simple “Primary” lenses which are built of fewer elements and if older not excessively coated, because of smaller apertures causing diffusion or tripping and scrambling of photons, the Dreaded HOT SPOTS still come up. Actually I’m having great success with an AF S Nikkor 24-120mm lens as long as I stay in the mid focal lengths, I have a pretty wide spread of apertures available. Small hot spots can easily be dealt with in post. On both ends 120mm and 24mm I just find the limits and shoot within them.

    Love the idea but your example IR shots were very soft. Just wondering whether that is just the compression on TH-cam or that is the nature of the beast with these filters?

    • @EdwardMartinsPhotography
      @EdwardMartinsPhotography  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Probably TH-cam compression. You really can't judge photographs embedded inside a YT video.

    Very nice shots would you mind sharing your settings also did you set a custom white balance?

    • @EdwardMartinsPhotography
      @EdwardMartinsPhotography  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Actually I believe it was auto WB. Aperture priority, around f5.6 and longer shutter speeds on a tripod. Like around a couple of seconds. I can look it up for you if you need the exact SS and apertures. 🙂

    • @paulbonge6617
      @paulbonge6617 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you're using a converted camera, in live view choose custom WB in the menu and take a pic of some bright green grass in the sun and use that as your WB for consistent and good results.

    Is there a change in focus point with the IR filter ? Old geezers like me remember that MF lenses had an IR focus mark on them for IR film.

    • @EdwardMartinsPhotography
      @EdwardMartinsPhotography  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good point. I don't think so. The Fuji's are actually able to AF through the filter so I would think the AF system compensates.

      I read somewhere recently on mirrorless cameras using the rear lcd focus is no issue at all I’m just trying some IR on

    Nice work Edward I tried IR back in film days failed miserably back then I didn’t know you needed a filter 🙄 just bought an ir filter for the Xpro 2 and loving the results I’m working on an episode of my first experience for my wee channel gotta admit IR is fun and the contrast I’m getting is gorgeous and the exposure times I’m getting are around 20 to 45 seconds depending on light and time of day bearing in mind we still have low winter sun in New Zealand so exposure times should drop significantly during the summer months ❤️ liked and subbed 📷❤️

    Nikon D700 - not converted , cheap Opteka IR 720Nm filter ( 77mm - $15) .Camera on monochrome .Old manual focus prime lens - FOCUS CORRECTED TO INFRARED RED DOT !!!!! ( No zoom lens !!! ) Tripod is necessary .
    Exposure - manual 10 + - sec ( ASA 200 ) When filter is on - viewfinder is useless .
    GREAT RESULT !
    Sun shade is necessary , sun can not hit the lens , and have to close the viewfinder during exposure !

    Sorry, but I guess you get what you pay for. Sort of like digital zoom vs a real telephoto. I'm not sure it's worth the cost of the filter, or just doing some post work with a filter.
