IR and S2 [pic]

Felipe Rodríguez · Feb 13, 2003

I love IR photography. The best camera I've had for that was the Minolta D7: it gave you a great, clear shot preview with its EVF, so you could compose with the filter attached. Now I must shoot IR as if I was blind. But it works as well. It's a bit annoying, and you have to compose the scene before putting the filter, but you get used too. Here you have a picture I've shot today, on my way to work. It was around 13 hours, and obviously I used a tripod. The filter is Hoya IR72, cheap and great. Nikkor 28-105, focus set to infinity. Levels adjustment in PS (the original shot was too dull). What do you think?

Nobody interested on IR? nobody with their own experience on this with the S2?

Very interesting.
Do you need special lenses?
What type of filter did you use?

IR isn't something that most people do here, but it is very cool! I think most of us are still getting our arms around basic filters and other areas.

One comment on this shot, and remember I am no IR expert, but the field is a little bright for my eyes...I would like to see it toned down a little personally. Please do keep it up with the IR as I think it is a very interesting side to photography.

Well, this is not exactly a True Infra Red shot as it was converted to B&W from Color to simulate what I get and like from IR but thanks for posting your image(very nice) and I look forward to posting some "Real" IR shots in the future. I have been following the IR threads here and have learned a lot about which filters work the best with Digital. Thanks for your contributions. Shot this Yesterday here in Florida. We have the best Infra red Skies here. Just click on the link to see.

Felipe, I cannot give you any advice or comment yet but I am as interested as you are. . My S2 is with me for one month and just got my R72 in the mail yesterday. I am dying to go out this weekend and try it. Not very sure how to but it will be trial and error.

Where do you get the lens and how much?

Nice, Felipe! I've never shot IR, but am thinking of getting into it (along with 1/2 a dozen other aspects of photography!

) I like the brightness of the forground...adds a lot of punch to the image and really grabs your attention.

BTW, thanks a bunch for all our wonderful comments on my pictures at photosig.com. I appreciated them very, very much. You're a true gentleman, my friend.

At first I shot JPEG because I was naive and wanted quantity over quality.
Then I shot RAW, because I was still naive but wanted quality over
quantity. Now I've gone back to JPEG because I'm no longer naive, and I
want both quantity and quality.
