New dawns
This blog has been rather quiet lately. Recently, I haven’t had the time and energy to venture into the mountains for new photos to expand my portfolio. Currently,…

I am always selling IR cameras (and often also UV) from my collection and from my experiments. These are mostly older models, mainly CCD cameras like the Nikon…
Let’s talk about Candy Chrome, the new infrared filter that Kolari Vision sells for 100 dollars for size 52mm (77mm already costs 200 dollars). Candy Chrome is certainly…
Would you like to own a TB550/660/850 filter from Midwest Optical? Coincidentally, I sell a couple of them. All are unused and in the original packaging. The TB550/660/850…
No real info here, just some pictures of water buffalos in Uebeschi, taken with the Sigma SD1 and the “Aerochrome” setup. This time without the orange filter, and…
For digital photography, I think this is the best option to revive the long-defunct Aerochrome (Kodak EIR). And best of all, it’s straight out of the camera, without…
More pictures, taken with the Sigma SD1 Merrill, the Triple Bandpass filter and a pink filter from Lee called Middle Rose. Pretty good, I think.
Emulating Aerochrome is a long and winding road. Anyone who has read my previous blog posts on Aerochrome has probably seen my frustration in achieving an authentic look.…
Aerochrome – once again. For the umpteenth time I dedicate a post to this topic. Right at the beginning, I have to completely revise a statement from an…
Remember the post about the idea of using multiple sensors to expand the possibilities of false color or multispectral photography? Well, a YouTuber with the channel name grainydays…
For IR images, the color channels must be swapped to obtain a blue sky. Depending on the model, the white balance must also be adjusted afterwards. This applies…
Here is my infrared setup for spring and summer. Now that everything is sprouting and blooming, it’s the perfect time to go outside. It’s not only an IR…
I am trying my hand at ultraviolet photography this spring and summer. I bought a special lens for it – the Kuribayashi 35mm, respectively a clone that supposedly…
It works! The DB940 filter now also fits my favorite lens – the Nikon 50mm f/1.8. Since the diameter of the filter is very small even for the…
Now I had some sun and time to test the DB940. I combined it with a dark sepia filter from Lee (probably “Chocolate”) and got wonderful results, especially…
Here’s another filter from Midwest Optics that might be of particular interest to fans of obscure IR false-color styles: The DB940. It is particularly suitable for color palettes…
Every now and then I receive e-mails with questions about IR photography. A few days ago I received such an e-mail from a photographer from Holland. He wanted…
This is going to be a rather image-heavy post. But before we get to the photos, let me briefly say what it’s all about. Once again, it’s about…
Repeatedly I have concluded that CCD sensors are superior to CMOS, especially when it comes to special false-color IR styles. With normal, “straight-forward” IR like 720nm or monochrome,…
A reader of my blog, like me, has been using specialized IR and color filters and full spectrum cameras to create a false color look with blue trees.…
