IR Outing #8 2006

[kevdead]

Hi there,

Basicially for IR photography, we usually need the following equipment
1. Camera (That is capable of doing IR, there is actually a list in the sticky thread here)
2. Tripod (Because the IR filter cut off most of the visible light, the shutter speed is rather slow, hand-held may be a problem... unless you have very stable hands like our moderator Teerex who can do it hand-held :sweat: )
3. IR filter (There is 2 very commonly used IR filter, the Hoya R72 and Cokin P007)
4. Cable Release or Remote (Optional)

These will be the equipment you need. One more thing that you need is to know how to set your White Balance, that's all. Then you are all set to do IR.

As for the Hoya R72 IR filter price, for
1. Kit lens 18-70mm (67mm Thread Size) - around $80
2. 55-200mm (IIRCm should be 52mm Thread Size) - around $35

Hope that answer your questions.
Before I forgot, there is one last very important thing that is needed for IR Photography is good weather and sun. Cheerz.

Thanks for the info. Just for the filter cost 80bucks? Seems like a investment wor. Anyway, like you said, if there is anyone attending the outing got extra filter, can let me try out first before buying one?

Hi there,

The price of the Hoya R72 IR Filter rises exponentially with the thread size. For a 77mm filter, it will cost around $220.

Anyway, I have a 52mm IR filter to spare. Can lend it to you if you want. Not sure if can get a bigger size one for your kit lens that day.

Hey Kevdead,

Today's outing not really counted because we started barely for an hour when the rain comes. Hope that you can join us for the next outing. But I guess you taken a few test shoots earlier. Maybe you can give it a try for the post-processing.

Don't like that say, the weather is very unpredictable these days. IR Photography will need good weather and sun to give very good results. Hope that the next outing will have good weather.

 

[ark19]

Very bad weather, but hope the newcomers learnt some stuff on IR.
Especially we need good weather for IR:sweat:
Pls join the next outing and hope we have better weather...
Cheers

 

[quekky]

we need

1) lots of IR rays
2) sunny, but not hurting eyes
3) cooling weather to shoot in

kindof hard :sweat:
