Nice one.]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:59:44 +0000 https://verdantvista.com/image?108 These are beautiful images.

You commented on my post about IR in the d90club forum. I am still very green at all the dslr has to offer. Can you please tell me what you mean by "unconverted"]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:24:38 +0000 https://verdantvista.com/image?108 Thanks.

OK, your camera has a "low pass filter" just in front of the sensor - it's this you clean when needs must. Anyway, this filter is designed to block UV and IR light. Some low pass filters are better than others. The "better" the low pass filter, the longer the exposure takes in IR.

This shot was taken on my D50 which has a pretty poor low pass filter and the shutter speed for this is about 2 seconds. Taking this same shot on my D90 would probably take about 20-30 seconds. The D90 has a stronger low pass filter than the D50

Anyway, a converted camera has the manufacturers low pass filter removed and replaced with one that allows IR light to pass. Conversion usually costs between £200 & £300 so it's not for everyone.

Take a look at the IR groups. There's a ton of info in there.

D50 exposures in IR took about 8s, on my D90 it's at least 30s :(]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2010 08:42:49 +0100
