Hi, I think I covered this to a certain extent in the video, but you start by taking a photograph of grass, a correctly exposed image, then you go into your cameras WB settings and set that image as white. You have essentially told your camera that green is white. But that is only going to work on the JPEGs, so that you can see what you are getting on the back of your camera. With raw files, the colour temperature of IR is so far off the spectrum for Lightroom, you need to download a DNG converter (I did this years ago), I can’t remember all of the details, but LR will recognise any photos that you import from that camera and apply the special WB conversion. My Lightroom recognises my Canon 550d and converts it to what I saw on the back of my camera. I will add this to my tutorial when I eventually get around to it. I hope this makes sense!

A warning to photographers needing conversions (to infra-red, astro, etc.) or camera repair: Stay away from Spencer’s Camera in Utah, which bills itself as doing work for NASA; they have photographers recommending them on YT videos and so on. The are outright crooks; no other way to put it. Back in February I sent them two Canon T6s, both for sensor cleaning, one for conversion to Infra-red. I made it clear I needed it done quickly as I am on the road in my RV, etc. They said no problem, about $375. Okay. It took more than 6 weeks, with no answer on their phone (filled up voice mail). They finally returned my emails saying everyone was ‘at a workshop’ in Canada. Aggravating. The eventual package was so poorly wrapped that one T6 was sticking out of a ragged hole. There was no invoice or receipt or even an indication of which T6 was converted, which was merely cleaned. I went online to my bank to see that they ‘rounded up’ to $400.00 on my cc. No invoice indeed. Would have been iffy to round up. But the real reason was only one camera was actually worked on, the conversion. I assume they didn’t want to put a lie on paper since both cameras still had filthy sensors and are useless. I wanted to have it on record, so I used email to complain. My two emails went unanswered. This is a well-known company (NASA, etc) but they obviously do not care (in the extreme) about us peons. I have posted the first photos out of my cameras on my blog if you want to see what they… didn’t do and over-charged me for it after being 4 weeks late. I’m a well thought-of writer (3 books, many TV/feature scripts) named Allan Weisbecker; I have worked professionally as a photographer (including covers) for magazines like Smithsonian, Men’s Journal, Popular Photography, and so on. Google me and do a search for my blog if you want to verify what I’m saying (and see the dirty sensor pics). ‘Allan C Weisbecker + blog’. Look for the title ‘Spencer’s Cameras Are Crooks’.

Then the films were removed and I stopped doing it for a long time. When I saw it was possible to convert my camera to IR and even UV I got mad! I directly sent my Nikon D2x that I didn't used much as I got a D3s and the result with it were way beyond what I could have imagined. I became really enthusiast about IR again and even more abut UV photography! That kind of light is incredible !

Plants that don't glow as white can be an indication that they are sick. Anyway, why are you telling people that they can never use their converted cameras for normal photography again? For all who read this, they make IR/UV cut filters called "hot mirrors" to do visible light photography on converted cameras. Just like the cut filters in front of the image sensor, except it screws onto the front of the lens. They don't let Infrared or Ultraviolet light pass through the filter, just visible light, like the cut filter, again. They also make filters that only let Ultraviolet light through as well as many combinations in between. Side note: hot spots are caused by the coating on the inside of camera lenses that are meant to absorb stray light, but it reflects infrared light. It's like having a normal lens, but with a bunch of mirrors inside.
@benharveyphotography

Hi Jorin, thanks for the comment. I have looked up IR/UV hot mirrors and I see that they exist - but why would you convert your camera (a very dedicated move towards shooting in infrared) and then add a filter so that the camera also shoot visible spectrum; as it did before you converted it? I think you have also overlooked that the camera focusing has been calibrated for infra-red once converted and the metering has also been altered to suit IR. Like I said in the video, only convert your camera if you are serious about infrared photography.
@meomarte

@@benharveyphotography Because like you said, more fun things are possible without the hot mirror. However, the ability to have the VIS-pass filter, like BG-40, on the nose of your camera will essentially return it to its prior state. Apart from the dust particles one might have in front of the sensor as a result of the conversion. ;) With IR it is often best to use manual focus anyway, because cameras tend to struggle with focusing with an IR filter attached. I have not calibrated my D7100 after conversion to full spectrum. Btw: I have not heard of UV-hot mirrors, only IR (hot - thermal, get it?). UV is absorbed by impurities in the glass in itself. More glass equals less UV at sensor. Unless it is pure quartz (SiO2) or something else like fluorite. Think UV-Nikkor 105. There is also not that much UV in nature to begin with, so dedicated light is often required for UV to get enough light.

@@benharveyphotography Ben Harvey Photography I have a suspicion that you and I are talking about slightly different subjects without knowing it and I think we're both right in our own aspects. I'm talking about full-spectrum conversions while you are infrared only. So, for people that want to have a full-spectrum converted camera, read this. For everyone else, just ignore me. Many photographers do this, in fact, Ted Forbes from "The Art of Photography" just did as well. Although, he had a full-spectrum conversion done. I'll get to that. One might decide to because it widens a photographer's creative possibilities. After recalibration, the camera should focus like normal, although you should use live view for IR. I did not overlook focus calibration, I thought you already knew how it works and what it's for. Different lenses focus differently than others because of their refractive index. Let me explain, the refractive index of a lens is how much the elements inside bend light, and how much that causes a focus shift depends on the wavelength of the incoming photons. Wavelength is the oscillation in distance between the peak and the trough. Think of a ripple in the pond, the waves of an infrared pond are bigger. Since photons in the infrared range (and below) have longer wavelengths, there will be focus shift. Wide angle lenses can have the most trouble when autofocusing in infrared light. In other words, focusing errors post-conversion are likely caused by the lens due to its refractive index and not the camera itself because the body's AF is what is recalibrated, although I am aware that you can send your lens to be calibrated as well; and you should if you're doing infrared photography. This isn't a problem if you use manual focus, especially if you use an all-manual lens as I love to do. These details are not the same for full-spectrum conversions because they also capture visible light as well as infrared and ultraviolet. the autofocus in full-spectrum conversions is recalibrated to focus using visible light because when adding an IR filter to the lens (which doesn't need recalibration in this case), the user will be utilizing manual focus and live view, or an electronic viewfinder because the IR filter would be visually opaque anyway. That's why I say you can add a hot-mirror filter to the lens for normal photography.

An excellent dash through the process Ben. My old Nikon D100 has a weak block filter but it still needs really long shutter speeds, but has lasted me for years, as it sits idle until the sun shines. This is the first year since I bought it, that it hasn't been used. That's roughly 17 years of use. At the time being heavy into low Asa film, I never expected digital to overtake it, as i thought the quality was rubbish in comparison. So when the D70 came out the D100 was kept for summer use and IR. I had a 16mm fisheye with rear mounted 720 permanently mounted. The D70 was rubbish at Ir as has been every camera since. My Sony Nex5 was bought for street photography and is rubbish at IR, but the shutter noise will wake up the dead, so it hasn't had as much use as I'd hoped. It fits in a pocket with the 12mm pancake lens on, which is the only reason I haven't given it away. So I've had it converted to full spectrum, as I know I will want to have a look at the whole range my sensor can use. I also experimented in the late 70's with scientific IR and UV film, and am a user of Marmite. The smooth strip across a tennis ball can look like a track through a field of Millet on a foggy night, in macro Ir, and a incandescent bulb behind it. Most old lenses work better than recent lenses on unmodified cameras and modified ones, as they don't have Ir coatings on them, and most even have Ir focus marks as they where expected to be used in that range. Some new lenses soak up the ir on the way in as they are coated and don't have a Ir focus mark on them for that reason. So on an unconverted camera they can save a few stops.

Great intro to IR with some inspiring images. Worth adding that different makes of camera (and maybe even different models?) vary in the strength of their high-pass filters. For example, with my Fujifilm X-pro2, I can (just about) get away with hand-held shots at ISO 6400 (typically 1/30 or 1/60 sec). Of course, that’s with the lens close to wide-open and you still have motion-blur to contend with. But it does mean I can put the IR filter on and still do casual “walk about” photography in IR. I am thinking about getting a camera converted. The way I see it, you can pick up a second-hand camera two or three models old for not a lot of cash and, even taking into account the conversion cost, you’re not looking at much more than the cost of a half-decent lens.. So if you enjoy the process after trying it out with just a filter, why not take the next step.

Hi Mark, absolutely agree, different cameras once converted have different results also. I recently went out with a friend who converted a Canon 6D (full frame) and I shot the same scene with my 550d (cropped sensor) and the full frame benefitted from even more dynamic range and sharper results. If you don’t have a spare camera then of course, purchase one from MPB or your preferred second hand supplier and get one converted. It’s a nice way of spending the summer months shooting without having to worry about the quality of light!

But at that point, you might as well use a regular non converted camera to achieve long exposures.

Hi Andrei, I made this video many years ago, so I forget exactly what I said but the 720nm filter will let a fair amount of visible light through; giving you some colour to work with. You are also getting less of an infrared effect at 720 but it is the general go to for IR filters and conversions due to its flexibility. 850nm is true IR and will not let through any colour and will therefore be black and white. However in turn this will mean that the exposures will be longer as the IR blocker building into most camera sensors and the IR filter that you put on the front of the camera are fighting against one another. It might be best to see if you camera is well suited for IR filters in the first place, as I have heard that for example the Canon EOS R does not perform well. I don’t know if it is an option, financially, but I would choose to convert a camera to IR if you are looking to enjoy the benefits of hand holding shots without the fuss of long exposures, tripods and filters.

Very informative video, thanks for making that! Now I'm sure i have to try it out myself ;d I have few questions regarding video shooting in IR- The part of the video that you recorded in infrared was shot with converted camera or with filter? Is it even possible to shoot a video with IR filter or is it completely too dark? I am thinking about aperture wide open (f/1.4 or so) and high ISO obviously (12800 or 25600) with 1/50s. I'm not sure yet if I want to convert my camera, so I would love to buy filter first and see how I feel in it

Hi Dros, the intro video was using a converted Canon DSLR. On the basis that still photos with a 720nm filter used to be around 30 seconds in bright sunshine, It might be a challenge to achieve 1/50th second. I make that 9 stops difference to get to your desired shutter speed, but at higher ISOs it could be done. I would try it out but I sold my filters after I converted my camera.

Hi Erika, I can only speak about the cameras that I have used. Even though there is a layer over the sensor which is blocking infrared light, some will get through if you do a long exposure when an IR filter is on the front of your lens. That is how I started out in infrared photography. The only reason you need to convert a camera to infrared is if you want the freedom to hand hold photos or you don’t want long exposure photos in the first place. I was usually in the region of 30 second exposures upwards.

@benharveyphotography

Hi Ivan, I answered this to someone else the other day - but I can't find where? You need to download a DNG custom profile editor for lightroom, as the WB in lR cannot go that far into the red spectrum with the raw files. This essentially tells Lightroom that whenever you import images from that camera to apply that custom profile. Beware if you have images in your LR catalogue from that camera before you converted it! Google the above and you should find the answers. It was a free plugin when i installed it years ago.

If I could start afresh I would convert a full frame camera, if you had the cash, a full frame mirrorless Sony - the dynamic range would be incredible!

well presented with some good content, with some interesting ideas... but there are some issues with the content..... first of all you must do a grass exposure to get white balance.... wrong, use a custom camera profile, easy to do simple to process and you can use white balance as a creative tool..... mistake two Non converted cameras are 30 sec plus exposures all the time.... yet I can do them much shorter than that.... You seem to infer that non converted cameras are bad because of the longer exposures, yet advertise your next video as one on how to do long exposures which is a very popular technique.... bit confusing there....

Hi Mike thanks for your comment, although unnecessarily confrontational. The way that I create a custom white balance is not wrong, there may be more than one way of doing this - but my way works. Straight out of camera the grass is white because if the way that I set the WB and that is what I wanted. If you want to shoot infrared images with a non converted camera then you will need an infrared filter and that required a longer exposure or larger apertures and higher ISO to achieve the same results. It can be done, but it’s not ideal. If you meet or speak with anyone that is really into their infrared photography they will have a converted camera, but it may not be worth the financial investment if you are just experimenting with this genre. I think I have put a well balanced opinion across so that viewers can make an informed decision. I haven’t made a long exposure infrared video, I think you are referring to a different genre of photography.

Hi Tony, assuming that you have a filter with a wavelength that lets through visible light (say 720nn) I, before I converted the camera, used to put the ten stop filter on, take a long exposure of the grass - maybe a 60 second exposure and then set that as the custom white balance. That will get you near enough. Protect the photo so that if you delete the photos on your card it still saves the reference image for your white balance. If properly done your images will have white foliage with a brownish tobacco coloured sky. You can then change the colours in PS to blue. Does this make sense?
