After recently acquiring an old Nikon D70s, I decided to delve into the world of infra-red photography.
Last year i experimented with putting an IR pass filter on my Sony a6000 kit lens and doing 30s shutters to see what IR only light looked like. As you can expect, the results were underwhelming and grain/sensor noise was pretty bad. The results were unusable.
On my D70s however, I removed the IR cut filter from in front of the sensor. Now the sensor sees the regular (visible) light spectrum as well as the infra-red spectrum. This gives a very unique look to landscape photos etc as the regular colors are mixed with the infrared light information. If you want pure IR photography, you can simply put an IR pass filter (cuts out visible light and lets through IR) and you will have pure IR light passing to the sensor.
Here is my short video tutorial on how to convert your Nikon D70s and possibly other cameras to IR sensitive. In the coming weeks i will be posting sample photos as well as videos about post processing of IR photos and my other adventures/findings in this new (for me) area of the hobby. Please leave feedback and discussion below
