IR MOD - CANON S1

[marchovens]

i dont know where he is but it seems it is old peoples day!

Did you insert a clear optical glass window in place of the IR filter you removed? Or did you just close it up after removing the IR filter?

Might do this to my S1, havent used it lately anyhow... was thinking of getting an old film camera for messing around with infrared, but this seems 1) more fun 2) i already have the camera :d

Digital cameras are capable of caturing a wider spectrum then that of the human eye. This includes the Inrafred spectrum.

Most, if not all camera manufacturers fit a infrared filter to prevent this spectrum from being captured. This can make things very difficult If you intend to take infrared photos, as longer exposure times are needed due to the filter. Our guy removes the filter inorder to cature the infrared spectrum. Beware! this may prevent the autofocus from working in some cameras :)

He opened the camera and removed the internal infrared blocking filter (that little piece of glass the he held up and showed for a few seconds) after that, he reassembled the camera and put a filter over the lens to block visible light...

heheh fajna sprawa, a probowałes sie rozglądac po zmroku? przy latarniach z rtęciówkami i sodówkami? albo w półmroku i ciemności w ogóle?

btw - european sunglasses w IR chyba wygladaja tak samo?

"rozglądałem się" w ciemności, za oświetlenie wystarczy klilka diód podczerwonych. również w słońcu można osiągnąć ciekawe widoki, na przykład jak to widać na filmie uwypuklone są inne szczegóły niż w normalnym świetle. Łatwiej jest robić artystyczne zdjęcia w podczerwieni odblokowanym aparatem bo dużo krótszy jest czas naświetlania w porównaniu do aparatu w którym tylko założono czarny filtr na obiektyw.
