I didn't know you could take such great infrared shots with a compact, you've inspired me and i'm now thinking about going the same way as before i assumed i'd have to spend loads of money on a dslr to modify.

Having looked through your gallery however, i think that this sony produces far better results quality-wise than the canon G2 you've been using. Keep up the great work.

Thank you!
Compacts are a great way to do infrared photos! I've started with an unmodified Canon G1, then I got Sony DSC-F717, and I ended up with G2 that I modified for IR only.
Every one of those cameras has something missing - Sony has a great lens and a nice 5 MP sensor, but it is limited to 1/60s and f/2.2 in nightshot mode that is used for IR. You cannot use it in manual mode for IR. Because of that, you must use ND filters so that you don't overexpose. It doesn't have RAW - only JPEG, it is harder to modify and 1/60 is sometimes too slow. And you just don't record that much colour with Sony so there was too much postprocessing involved for my liking. So that is why I sold it.
G1/G2 have a great lens and a more than decent sensor, but only 3 and 4 MP. But how often do you print really big? I have printed 3 MP from G1 to 30x40 cm and it looks just fine. It has RAW, you can use it in manual mode, and it is easy to modify it for IR only which allows you handheld shutter speeds up to 1/500s. And best of all - you can get it cheap
If I was looking for a IR compact now, I'd go with G3/G5. They're very similar to G2 and can easily be modified, with great results.

aha, narocito na nebu... a kaj se moze, moras nabit tri filtera da ne spalis sve jer ne ide brze od 1/60 u nightshotu (proklet bio mamlaz u soniju koji je to naredio), pa kad se tome doda moja lijenost u postprocessingu...

What impressed me the most was the crisp shadow effect on the lake. My love came from the old shanty that sits in the corner, it's contrasted- beautifully and displayed proudly on the lake. Nice shot. A must fave and great work friend.

yup, I like them too and usually you can't get that kind of reflections 'cause the exposition with infrared is very long (a few seconds, or longer - depending on the camera), but it was a sunny day and my sony can get up to 1/60 sec in nightshot mode
and one day when I'm rich I'll buy myself an IR converted dSLR and have 1/1000 sec or faster shutter speeds!!

hvala ti! ebay, bhphoto, probaj vidjeti u prizmi u ZG - oni drze heliopan. nazalost kod nas je neke stvarcice dosta tesko naci, kao da se radi o tko zna kakvoj egzotici.
i ako ga mislis probati s dSLRom pripremi se na puno teskoca i neuspjeha...

wow prekrasno, svaka cast, obozavam IR fotke i sama razmisljam da si kupim filter, no ne znam koji, ima li ih razlicitih, ista kad nitko nema filter da ga probam, pa ajde ako ti nije bed napisi mi par savjeta

d-minutiv In reply to tynaS [2007-03-19 08:47:50 +0000 UTC]

IR s dSLRom je poprilicna komplikacija jer ne vidis nista u trazilu, a IR svjetlo ne fokusira isto kao vidljivo, a i ekspozicije su jaaaaaako duge. osim ako ne skines blok ispred senzora, a onda ti aparat postane neupotrebljiv za normalnu fotografiju. pa je tu i problem s hotspotom... Nikon d70 se cini kao najbolji izbor za nekonvertirani aparat.
ako ti se ne da natezati sa stativom i dugim ekspozicijama, onda uzmes npr. neki od 7x7 sony aparata, canon G1, olympus 2xxx seriju i hoya R72 filter (ili odgovarajuci od B+W, Heliopana itd.) koji propusta i jedan mali dio vidljivog svjetla pa mozes dobiti fini efekt laznih boja. sa sonijem ti trebaju i ND filtri (vidi odgovor Slavenu).
ima i drugih IR filtera, nesto su skuplji, a propustaju IR svjetlo duljih valnih duljina (iznad 750, 770 nm itd.) i njihov efekt mi nije bogznakaj - c/b kojeg mozes dobiti i sa gorespomenutim.
preporucam malo kopanja po ebayu, moze se pronaci vec gotovih setova kompakt+filter za relativno male novce.
inace, ovo je dobar link za pocetak: [link] a kad dodjem doma mogu ti iz arhive iskopati jos ako zelis. takodjer, gilad ima u jednom od starijih journala nesto o IRu.
ako zelis probati, mogu ti posuditi hoya r72, navoj 58 mm.

hvala!
ne ide bez filtera, koristim hoyu R72, a posto je sony ugradio glupu zastitu za puritance u nightshot modu, na ovom aparatu moras staviti i neke ND filtre jer brzina ne ide ispod 1/60 pa bi bez njih sve bilo spaljeno. kombiniram ND2 i ND8, ponekad ubacim i polarizator, ali jako rijetko.
a onda i PS na kraju svega...
