Here are two examples of IR imagery (a landscape and a “local “scape””) made with a Sony Dsc-F828 which permitted IR captures with a flip-of-a-switch that flips the IR-blocking filter outof the optical path. A visual spectrum-blocking filter was in place in front of 5he camera’s lens. The Sony 828 and the Sony 707 (another model with the convenient “IR Switch”) frequently are found used at reasonable prices on eBay.
I have had no experience with having a DSLR converted for IR imagery.

I particularly like the image sharpness inherent with IR due to the restricted spectrum of wavelengths involved in the capture, which minimizes, if not eliminates any CA effects.

The corn stalks are spectacular, Dave. Whenever I see an IR image this stunning, my interest stirs, but then that's also true for acquiring a regular film camera (sold my one and only about 10 years ago) and setting up a b&w darkroom...among other brief fantasies

Show us more, please.

Hi, Linda,
I know there are others likely subscribing to this new Section who are more experienced in IR imagery than am I, so I’m fondly hoping they will chime in with examples of their own.

I really like the cornstalk image. I had never heard of IR photos till a few years ago when a former co-worker showed me some IR photos he had taken in the ghost town of Bodie. They can sure be spectacular.

I was thinking about purchasing a used Nikon D7100 or something similar on Ebay and having it converted to IR just for this purpose. I have seen a lot of really effective Infrared landscapes posted on other sites by Photographers.

I used to shoot a lot of B&W IR film in 35mm and 4x5. I didn't care for the color IR film - the colors were just too far out with the red skies. When digital came along, I saw some faux color IR images which had blue skies, and learned about the red/blue channel swap. I had an old Nikon D90, which I had converted to IR by Lifepixel with their enhanced color filter and have had a lot of fun with it. I like the somewhat surrealistic color, but with the blue skies to give them a little connection to realistic color. All of these were shot in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

Classic B/W interpretation of infrared. When I look at this, I see classic images of the 1940s and 50s... Well done!

Love the shots! I have an IR converted camera, but have trouble with processing the images, what software do you use? Thanks.

If you use Photoshop and are interested in color IR, there is a great Photoshop action which does the red/blue channel swap and adds some other adjustment layers which can be tweaked. It's downloadable at:
https://khromagery.com/2011/07/04/false-colour-infrared-photoshop-action-on-photoshop-exchange/

Also, Lifepixel.com, who do IR conversions, has a lot of information on IR processing on their website.

Hi, TTT,
With the IR-blocking filter removed from in front of the sensor, and a visible spectrum blocking filter in front of the lens, I simply processed the jpeg files in Photoshop...no special software. I’ve done no colored IR work.
