A few years ago DC community simmering thing Sony 707 digital camera, infrared perspective events: Because at that time 707 of the CCD has a relatively strong ability of infrared light-sensitive, while in night vision mode will automatically pop-up before the low-CCDpass filter (or ICF IR-cut filter), as long as the installation of an infrared camera filters can be achieved infrared photography, and able to see through a number of thin fiber clothing.The so-called perspective, the latter proved to just a gimmick.

incident in perspective, before, infrared photography in general there are two main purposes: First, the traditional gathering of evidence, astronomical photography and other special purposes; second is landscape photography.Infrared photography can find hidden blood, was dig up the text, etc. Many manufacturers will also introduce a special infrared cameras for the police, astronomy and other special agencies to buy, such as the Fuji FinePIXIS-1, Canon EOS20Da so.This time we are talking about the civilian population of infrared landscape photography.

infrared landscape photography could have been a rather expensive photography category, because the use of special infrared sensitive film, which because of its sensitive infrared specificity is not marked sensitivity need to use their experienceManually adjust exposure values, a number of auto-body counters will also cause the infrared sensitive film can only use all-metal manual camera.Even the usual need to preserve and transport refrigeration.After washing of the troubles shooting, to avoid static electricity, heat, visible light and infrared, and even out the skin secretion of chloride salts.A lot of harsh conditions makes film infrared photography can not be popular.

from the F707's perspective the event began, people have found a digital camera infrared photography to achieve a lot easier, eliminating the complex preparation and post-washing, only the need for the camerato do some surgery on the line.This time we hired the one already converted to infrared photography dedicated Nikon D50, look at these units are already in the retirement stage of the old single-lens reflex can have any new act, also to take everyone to get to know about infrared photography world.Because AF was also started his own infrared photography, it is inevitable that mistakes and omissions, please also infrared expert correction.

from the body surface, it is absolutely do not see the Nikon D50 has been converted into a dedicated infrared photography, infrared filters are also installed in the CCD before the camerawill not be dark and one in front.Of course, this infrared capability is extremely limited perspective D50, the latter will not go into the text.

to see here, believe that many older SLR's friends had been "restless", and eager to understand the modification method.We are specially recruited from abroad Web site of the D50 infrared technology to change the information for your reference.Reminded, modified camera technology family on a fine, if you do not very sure about please hold hands, otherwise, not a modification, the camera has also dismantled bad, we do not assume any responsibility.

If someone says: I'm not here and filters, will be added to the lens filters in front of that be possible?No, because the original IR-cut filter is involved in imaging, where vacant, then the camera optical path changes, would be difficult to focus the lens.Here not only loaded, but loaded the infrared filters have to with the original thickness of the infrared cut filter to use basically the same as we go.

As to where to go find yourself in this infrared filter, will depend on your own ability, and not within the scope of this paper.

infrared converted D50 with no comparison can be seen with the use of infrared film will be seen very different picture.Scenery, or to rely on infrared photography infrared caused by sunlight, according to objects on the degree of infrared reflection and attraction arising from light-sensitive differences.DC used in CCD or CMOS sensor infrared even though it can, but sensitive to wavelengths in general 1200nm (1.2um) below, at most 1400nm, while the human body, the body of other animals, motor vehicles, their temperature is higher than the surrounding environment due to the infrared radiation wavelength7-14um (7000-14000nm), belonging to COSCO infrared band, so that the modified digital camera perspective does not have much capacity.

infrared photography and traditional photography, and lighting are all related, but associated with the infrared light, photo light and shade change and a greater difference between the normal pictures, such as plantthe leaves will turn into high light areas, it is almost true black trunks, the instructions on the road with pavement clear line of distinction.Contrast to the above two parameters can be learned EXIF photos, infrared photography, exposure value is much different from the normal, when the sun is strong to reduce the exposure compensation, cloudy, cloudy day to increase the exposure compensation.Because photographs can not be expected, digital SLR to shoot in the view of the advantages of a very prominent, multi-shoot a few always get a more satisfied with the exposure.

digital camera infrared photography is produced by partial red monochrome images, the participants generated a variety of color infrared film different, closer to the black and white photographs.Many traditional photo is favorite theme, the next will be in infrared photography has become uninteresting, for example, on lotus leaves and lotus diagram, Tell me what you should be able to see a pair of little green leaves and red flowers are?

Original

PS converted black and white

Digital SLR infrared conversion after the, take out the photos are reddish purple, and will not appear online infrared photographs of some strange color effects.In fact, many are through the second color infrared photographs, and infrared photographs most of the time are being processed into a black and white photographs.However, infrared photographs are some of the characteristics inherent in without the need for the latter part of PS, for example, the figure shot out of such a great summer cold, "Snow."Like with the traditional black and white photographs, infrared photographs is also a focus on light and shadow effects, focusing on the level of a sense of black and white, so black and white conversion, when PS is also a need for great care have a good effect, this is simply dealing with what, a sense ofInterested users can download the Original PS play themselves.

turn ordinary photos black and white

switch to black and white infrared photographs

some guests do not understand the black and white infrared shootPhotos have any special, special make up this group comparison.Original can be in the above photo, taken up directly into the PS where color is converted to black and white, as compared with the visible and infrared photos into black and white photos into black and white a huge difference.

Nikon D50 infrared photography proofs

Yihong dragonflies against a background of green pools, under normal circumstances is also a blue green dragonfly difficult to separate from water.In infrared photography, dragonflies and water have a very clear distinction, because the water will absorb infrared light, dragonflies will be reflected infrared light, invisible to the naked eye form a sharp contrast.Can be said that the use of infrared photography can be separated from a big advantage is that usually can not be separated from the background clutter.

In addition to water, you can also separate the background leaves.The background light part of it is strongly reflected infrared light green leaves, as compared with the strong reflection of dragonflies are many subjects and successfully separated from the background, in sharp contrast.

PS color infrared photographs

converted into black and white photographs, you can use Photoshop tools such as a second color, to obtain more in line with their expectations of photos.

backlighting the leaves can be said to the infrared photographic images of the most attractive, like the snow-covered leaves and the dark tree trunks form a strong contrast.The more a pity that when shooting the sky with thick clouds, if it's sunny, you can get darker the background, further highlight the beauty of the trunk and leaves.

lines, and the pace posed in the form of a sense of landscape photographs in the infrared is also the most important element, and in the infrared photography can get more than the average black and white photographs of light and shadow effects, despite the photographs the results unexpected, but relying on the advantages of digital SLR, you can shoot multiple times to carry out screening.
