Hidden RealmsIt is raining incessantly in Switzerland. And it has been for days. The Aare, the river that runs through my city, will soon overflow. There’s not much you…
Converting a camera to IR or full spectrum is exhausting, but also very satisfying. I like making something new out of something old and giving it my own…
As I probably once alluded to, I am looking for a false color IR style that will produce blue trees. I have tried many things. For a long…
As readers will have noticed, I’m a fan of dramatic skies – whether that’s in the form of wild cloud formations or stark color gradients. And it doesn’t…
I am currently working on a larger article about the history of Aerochrome false color infrared film and attempts to find a digital analog. I actually want to…
Filming is easier with the Triple Bandpass filter than with the X1 method discussed in previous posts. The blue vegetation, which turns reddish after the channel swap, is…
The sun shone for a few hours, enough to take some photos with the TB550/660/850. The results are very similar to the Orange-Green filter method. In any case,…
Well, here it is, the fabled filter from Midwest Optical that seems to be great for Aerochrome-style photos: The TB550/660/850. You can’t buy it from any store or…
I went outside to see how well my method reproduces the Aerochrome color changes (for context please see previous entries). For this purpose, I took photos with this…
I am currently working on an authentic digital version of the discontinued Kodak Color Infrared film (Aerochrome) with cameras that have a Bayer sensor. Of course, I’m not…
Infrared is used in cinema from time to time. I recently noticed it in the Van Gogh biopic At Eternety’s Gate. The film has one very short scene…
I think I have found a very good way to emulate the look of Kodak Ektachrome Infrared or Aerochrome with digital cameras. If I were only concerned with…
I had some time on my hands today around noon, so I went to the nearby river to get decent monochrome IR images with the Sigma SD1 Merrill.…
Of course, there is not ONE Aerochrome look. When we try to recreate Aerochrome (Kodak EIR) film with digital cameras, we have to keep this in mind. The…
There are a number of myths and misconceptions about infrared photography: – An IR photo looks best when taken on a bright, sunny day around noon. – IR…
The channel mixer is perhaps the most important tool when processing a typical IR image (720nm). Using Adobe Premiere we can swap the red and blue channels to…
In a previous post, I showed you my gear and setup for filming in IR. This time, I’d like to tell you about the importance of white balance.…
I’ve started to dedicate myself to infrared video during the last couple of weeks. Filming is in many respects similar to photography. The rules stay the same regarding…
Producing videos is a whole new world to me. It’s much more complex and exhausting than still photography, and IR adds another level of complexity. You need a…
No words now. Just this: It was recorded with an ultraviolet bandpass filter, so the pictures show no visible or infrared light, just UV…
