ANNI GETS A NEW TOY!
"Annika1980" wrote in message ... I've been having lots of fun shooting infrared with my infrared- converted Totally Digital D60. So I figured I'd try out a real infrared filter on the Fabulous 5D2. I got on EBAY and ordered a cheapo Hoya R72 equivalent from a shop in China. I figured for 25 bucks, what the heck. It finally came today so I rushed out to try it out, even though it was mostly cloudy. I quickly learned that the exposure time required when using this filter will make shooting anything except landscapes impossible. Here's my first effort which was a 30 second exposure @f/8, ISO 800. Note the cloud movement during the exposure. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/115548398/original It should produce some interesting effects, although I was hoping it wouldn't increase exposure time that much. I really wanted to take some infrared videos with the Fab 5D2, but I guess I'll have to use a weaker filter for that. Even cranking the ISO on the Fab 5D2 to 12800 gives exposure times of about half a second at f/4. I think you wasted the $25. Perhaps you should get an old Sony V1, does infrared natively for photos and for video. Pete |

Yeah, except that the Sony's Nightshot mode only works at night at a distance of 15 feet or less. Also, the video from the Sony is only 640x480. You're comparing a bazooka to a blow dart gun. Not true works just fine at any distance. A bit of stealth and a blow dart in this instance might just get the shot that you didn't anyway. How is your video going at any distance? |
