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,…
Today over lunch time I explored the surroundings of Zollikofen in the canton of Bern. Of course I found the big church or rather the temple of the…
Some winter Aerochrome photos… I know it’s a bit tedious when I keep changing the best postproduction variation. But for me, this one really seems to work best…
The blue trees have kept me busy for some time. Whenever I went out, I used this ingenious filter combination to take photos. Now I’ve gone back to…
Today I tested the new 50mm lens I bought. Basically I needed it so I could use the other one permanently for the “Bluegrass IR” look. But I…
Recently I gave an interview about my IR work to Tierwelt, a Swiss magazine that covers nature and environmental issues. As usually, only a part of the answers…
Everything around us is blooming again – spring has finally arrived. I made a quick video test with the TB filter and Orange 16. The result is a…
Now I tested a bit further and found out that the Orange-16 filter, which I use for the Orange-Green method, also helps a bit with the Aerochrome emulation…
I have come a big step closer to real digital Aerochrome video. Here is the “secret” recipe. But beware! It may differ from camera to camera, respectively lens…
I was finally able to photograph autumn vegetation with a converted Nikon D700 and the Aerochrome combo. This time with an older 50mm lens (f/2 AI). So far…
You want an Aerochrome filter? Forget IR Chrome, forget all the well-known and overpriced filters and buy a Hoya Green X1 instead and a dark yellow or light…
After a lot of work, my Nikon D700 Infrared is ready for action! After several Nikon D70 as well as a Nikon D80, I have now converted a…
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…
