New Photos

by | Jan 25, 2005 | Foto

I just uploaded a lot of new images. All are accessable from my images. Specifically several of them are taken with my new camera, Canon 20D. I’m very satisfied with several of them, like this sunset, or this night shot. Its really nice to have a camera that can has good aperture range too, so you can play with the sharpness of the images, like when photographing a detail or taking some other close-up Also these food images from the new years party turned out quite good, the file and the onions.

Första infraröda bilden

Äntligen kom IR filtret jag beställt genom “ScandinavianPhoto”:http://www.scandinavianphoto.se, ett Hoya Infrared R72. Var nog inte direkt bästa dagen för att fota med IR filter, det blåste en massa vilket syns på att man knappt ser flaggan och allt verkar lite suddigt. Det har blivit rörelse oskärpa eftersom jag hade 4 sekunders slutartid. Dock förklarar det dock inte varför hela bilden är suddig, men kanske skakade vinden även kameran en del.

Infrared Digital Photography

Some time ago I read this article on digital IR photography. It awakend an old interest of mine. Several years ago I bought some IR films because I wanted to try it out but it was hard to find any filters here in Sweden at that time. So it never happend. But inspiered by the article I started to look around again.

Earlier this week I called ScandinavianPhoto shop here in Gothenburg. It turned out that one of the salesman had just started to look for a supplier of IR filters, what a coincidence! So I called them today again and he hadn’t been that lucky, but recommended me to look at darkred Hoya filters. According to his contacts those should work. So I did some googling.

The “Infrared basics for digital photographers”-article is quite long but explains well how digital IR photography work.

Marco Pauck has some notes on his personal experiences with Infrared Photography. As well on the use of digital cameras for IR photography.

Bjørn Rørslett has several pages on IR Colour Photography. Have not read them all yet but looks interesting.

The camera I’m planning to use is my Canon Powershot A70 and I did the TV remote test it seems to be quite sensitive to IR as you can see in this image.

So reading these articles clearly indicate that the way to start is to get a Hoya R72 filter. And I discovered that CyberPhoto has the Hoya R72 filter and also ScandinavianPhoto said when I talked to them they could order any Hoya filter for me, so the task for tomorrow is to order one.
