I have a wedding assignment on that day...

Virgo , you IR shots have a center obvious "round glow".... me also face this same problem on one of my capture.. .

Dennis, cant see your earliest posted photos??? you had taken it out?

I am interested in the Stadium shoot.. .

 

[Virgo]

This is an indication that the cam is NOT suitable for IR. :cry:

 

[Hosea]

:bigeyes: oh, but it didn't happened all the time and I am using d70 which is supposed to be suitable for IR.

 

[Pablo]

Pablo, you posted a shot of this same place previously. This one sooooo much better than the previous.

Practice makes perfect huh!

Well done :thumbsup:

Hi teerex,

Yes, I had to try that shot again. Last time was with the Fuji s602
this time with the 20D/EF50mm 1.8

Here are 2 more from today.

.

Practice practise

If at anytime someone wants me to supply originals to play with
let me know and I will place them somewhere you get at them.
Cheers.

 

[Hosea]

Pablo, nice shots man..
can I hv your original to play with.. thanks

 

[Virgo]

:bigeyes: oh, but it didn't happened all the time and I am using d70 which is supposed to be suitable for IR.

I'm dying to try different lenses to see, although some of them say it's the sensor of the cam and not related to the lens. I would like to try out and prove them wrong. ;p

And strange for you Hosea, you get this intermittently. Did you try to see if it's due to any specific settings, like shutter speed, aperture or something?

 

[Virgo]

Nice Pablo! Very strange indeed. The 20D suppose to have an anti-IR coating on the sensor. I may be wrong though. I'm dying with envy! :lovegrin:

As I am using an oversized filter and place it just infront my lens.. I 'm just wondering it was caused by stray light when I didnt totally "cap" on my lens..but I think that should not be the case. It happened most when shooting under rather strong sunlight.. yet to take any record on the effect of the shutter and apx.

Hey Pablo,

It's time you learn some Singlish "Wah, very good leh"

Good to see that you're getting results with the 20D, like Virgo says he envy.

Here's a couple from my today's shoot to share. Appreciate your comments guys.

Hi Virgo,

I am using the EF 50mm f/1.8 Mk 2 lens; I decided on this as tomcat suggested it was good.

I find that the smallest gap for light to get past the filter will spoil.
Due to this, what I do is quite tedious:
With filter off I auto focus, then screw in the IR filter, then turn off auto focus.
Then shoot.

I leave Auto focus on when screwing on the filter as it prevents me changing the focus.
I turn it off before the shot so the camera doesn't hunt for focus.

Hope this is of help.

P.S. tedious as it is, screw on the filter for each different shot.

This is for Acrylonithrill,

Back track alittle, the "Dennis Kee" method that you mention earlier in this thread, is it to use a orange filter to do Custom WB first, then put on your IR filter to shoot with the customed WB?

Pai seh, still don't quite understand but tried just now after getting a step-down ring to use my 49mm filter on olympus 5050z. There seems to be a pinkish colortone.

Hi IR folk,

A question to you all.

How important do you find the CWB to be :dunno:
I am starting to think it is quite important to the outcome.
As such, I think it can effect just how white the leaves etc actually get.

To this point, I am beginning to think that a new CWB needs to be done
everytime you change shot position (in reference to the sun).

Now I may be wrong in this one and I am happy to hear so ....
teerex, the shot you took up the palm tree; did you do a CWB before that shot ?

Has anyone got views on this subject :dunno:

 

[JohnQ Loi]

Hey Pablo, thanks for the tip.

Merry Christmas and have a good New Year to everyone.

 

[JohnQ Loi]

Hi Pablo,
wonder if I can have the original to look at. A good chance for me to do catch ... learn, learn, learn.

Hi JohnQ Loi,

I am happy to do so
The link is 7 posts back from this one. It is there for anybody to use.

The photo's you find there are straight off the CF card.
No processing has been done on them. It is up to you to play with them with PS or whatever.

You or anybody feel free to re-post them showing your processing ideas.

Cheers

That shot was taken with same CWB as for all my shots. I have been using this same CWB for months and for all the shots that I posted.

But I do agree, CWB is important in shooting IR. If possible re-set CWB for every shot as the angle of the sun and shades of green for the tree leaves are different. But I'm too lazy to do that.
