quickshifting

stumbled upon this today.

i guess this is a certain style people are going after.
to me the finished product has an awesome look.


anyway to get these results without having to shoot with infared technology????

Cool find!! I have heard of infrared photography recently in a cameras store when I was shopping to upgrade from my D50. The sale guy told me to be sure to keep the D50 as it is more readily compatible for infrared shooting because of its low-pass filter or something to that effects. I have not even looked up any infrared photo though as I am trying to improve on the visible spectrum photos first

As for your question: I don't know at all but if I had to GUESS... maybe some software out there COULD simulate the effect? Just a PURE GUESS and also I am sure that any simulated image won't be just like the real thing through the filter+lens+sensor

There is a real way, and a fake way. The real way is to shoot with an IR camera. The fake way is to either shoot with a IR filter, or achieve the look in photoshop. PM Alex (Poindexter.) He has experience in real IR photography, and could help you out.

I've seen several IR faking tutorials, and none of them really work. Too bad, it's a very cool look.

Is this considered a real way or fake way then?

That's the real way; removing the camera's internal filter to allow IR and only IR.

Cool... maybe one day I will try to muck around on my D50 to turn it into a IR camera but like I said earlier... I need to get better w/ visual spectrum photography first

I used to have a Sony 727 that had an IR filter. One of the best cameras for it back in the day. Like anything else though the look gets old when you do it long enough.

VisualEchos

You mean it had the filter removed to show the IR (as all camera's will show IR without an IR filter), or you had an external fake IR filter?
