infrapink
Lens: 28mm f2.8 Camera: Eos-m Photo Location: Virginia ISO: 1600 Shutter Speed: 1s 
Posted By: blues_hawk, 12-18-2019, 03:58 PM

My wife just called this infrapink.

Taken with a converted eos-m and the 15-45mm lens.
Shooting handheld during my commute still required stopping. I realize now there are many things wrong with this shot and I won't defend it.

No. I pulled it. I had the wrong glasses on. That photo was painful to look at because it was before I added the UV/IR limiter. I was also shooting handheld with a canon...can't recommend that for most of them. I'll just put my mess back and we can all revel in the soft glow of the full spectrum sensor haze. :P

Well, it's different, thanks for sharing with us
I think IR may be neat to experiment with.

Very different - and a bit hard on the eyes.

Yeah I know, sorry. I haven't figured out how to kill a thread or I would have.

Let's have a vote:
  1. Leave it in shame to roam the wilds of the forum and haunt me.
  2. Kill it with fire and use the space for something with merit.

I vote 2

In my defense, this was a day after I converted the thing and just really wanted to play with it. I ended up taking it to work and then this was on the way home. That's usually a pretty decent shot unless I'm blocking the one "traffic" that comes along...and that's a school bus.

[well maybe I "think" it's a decent shot, since I don't have one to show. lol]

Here's one that IR worked better on. One thing I noticed when I started trying to do this, it basically the same techniques as long exposure night shooting, especially if you use a very long wavelength IR filter. I was taking 6 second shots even with the gain pushed.

Following my other experiments with super long exposure low gain shooting, I suspect this can get much better with a tripod and iso100. I'll try that sometime soon.

Second one sure is easier to look at. This IR stuff is intriguing.

Thanks!, that one is also posted somewhere else but I decided to put it in my gallery so I could cross post it easier. I'm hoping to actually get decent at this at some point but it's seriously a sideline thing.

The hardest part is the 2 hours of meticulous disassembly and then carefully cutting out of rubber, (and usually destroying) the built in ir/uv filter in the mirrorless eos-m without destroying any of the ribbons or micro sized connectors, and then carefully reassembling the whole mess and having it work. I used a slowed down video example of the operation and recommend at least a point by point I looked it up and the K5 is even more freaky to convert. I'm considering getting a second k5 for a backup before trying this operation on it.

Word of warning: Warning, there is soldering involved in the pentax takedown. I have 30+ years experience in component level electronics repair, so I'm not going to be pushing anyone to try this at home. If anyone decides to try it on their own be sure to find step by step instructions and understand them before you start, and use containers lined up to split parts into as many logical steps as possible....and clean...now clean again. now clean the air, now throw the cat out. Lifepixel is a much easier option and sells used gear too. I wish they had a k5 already done as they make very reasonably prices astrocams now that we can reliably tether them. I get enough HA (ionized hydrogen emits at near IR wavelengths) in the K5 without conversion that it may not even be worth the risk.
