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. And still underexposed g. Nice shot though, sounds fun. A little levels adjustment to clip the empty highlights improves it for me. Is it possible the contrast isn't so great with the filter? A comparison with your IR modified camera would be interesting. 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. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |
