Infrared photography
I want to photograph and video in infrared mode.
I understand that some point-and-shoot cameras provide this style of photography/videography. Alternately, some people have "hacked" a camera by removing the IR filter from in front of the imaging element. There are instructions on-line to DIY this, or to send in your P&S to have it done. Basically, the IR filter is removed and replaced with another (not a procedure for the faint at heart). The replacement filter is $$$. My question is this: is this replacement filter that passes rather than blocks IR available as a gelatin or other commonly available filter that I can source elsewhere other than from these camera-mod services? Or can I just strip off the existing filter and not replace it with anything? I'm looking for quantitative data (the existence of IR) not qualitative data (a pretty picture). What function does the replacement filter provide (other than passing IR data)? To clarify, I want to "see" IR images real-time in the viewfinder, not post-process the image data to reveal the IR. If there's another forum you suggest I should ask this question in, please let me know. Thanks, -- DaveC This is an invalid return address Please reply in the news group |
