Black & White Infrared Photography

[KARBONIZM]

these infrared digital images are not a patch on the quality you get with HIE or the new rollei IR film..

[photofonz]

@KARBONIZM - Many of the images in this video were taken with Kodak's High Speed Infrared Film (HIE). Of all IR films I have used, Kodak's HIE gave me more of the results I was looking for. It went further into the infrared spectrum than other films I have used. That was the reason it was more difficult to handle. There is only one problem with HIE film. Kodak discontinued it in 2007. Today, an IR film that is very similar is EFKE IR820.

To take out the redish cast and enhance your B&W digital file, try the steps found in the video "The Art of Black & White Infrared Photography Enhancement"

he make one fault, he says the visible spectrum is about 400 to 700 nm..thats correct but after that he says ir photography is about 400 to 700...beyond the visible spectrum...well?? 400 to 700 is visible...above 700 and under 400 is invisible...but that differs from human to human..depending on how much rgb cones in your eye and the transparancy of your eye lens. what we humans see is not only subjectif but also a very small part of the light spectrum.

Really great video. Thinking about having my 350D converted to IR.

Great info. Thanks.

@albert22022000 That should give you the ability of photographing some really beautiful infrared images. Best of luck.

Is this guy Alan Alda? Hawkeye giving us a photography lesson?

[gretscher]

I have an R72 I just bought. It's good. I am new to infrared so I'm still learning the settings but so far it's been fun. First time was yesterday I did a infrared shot. I did in color, b&w and sephia mode.  Not sure why he only does in b&w, he did not explain.

THANKS! GREAT INFO! :)

would a hoya R72 filter work just as good?

as there only like £30 which is cheap

[photofonz]

Yes, a Hoya R72 would give you even more of an infrared effect since it records more in the infrared range.

However using the R72 filter would require a longer exposure since it is darker than a Hoya 25A. Therefore a tripod may be necessary.

Ah ok thanks very much, i have a tripod so thats not a problem!
