Hidden RealmsWould 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…
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.…
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…
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…
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 have a confession to make: I destroyed my first Triple Bandpass TB550/660/850 filter (great for Aerochrome experiments) trying to get the glass out of the filter ring.…
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 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…
