Infrared (IR)

... And Lo...

God looked upon the world he created and thought to himself "Boy, photographers are going to freak out when they learn this trick."

All photos copyright N | V I S I B L E Photography by Joseph Goldsmith

Updated shots in 2006 are with the Nikon D50.

Okay ... so ...

I'm getting a LOT of requests asking to explain how this Infrared thing is done using a Nikon DSLR.
There is no real definite answer because there are several people who do this using a little bit different technique for each. There are several steps so in order for you to do your own research and narrow down the way that works best for you ... so I'll point you in the right direction.

1st thing is pay a visit to DPReview.com ... go to the Nikon D50/D70 forum and do a simple search for IR . You will soon find that there are numerous methods utilizing Infrared filters, conversions, apertures, ISO's, shutter speeds, CUSTOM WHITE BALANCE (Important for false-color that you see here) tripods, lenses and post-processing that will keep you busy for the next couple of years.

LifePixel.com is a place that will show you how to post-process your images to get the best out of them after you've shot them.

For me ... In my opinion, the only thing you really need that you wont normally have is a Hoya R72 filter. The rest is a matter of testing your patience against your will to get good shots.

Good luck and enjoy my galleries here at PBase.

Joey,
Excellent IR gallery. I have added your gallery to my "IR Topic". I'm looking forward to your future work. If you get some time, stop by and check out my IR Galleries at: http://www.pbase.com/jwkramer61/infrared_galleries -Jim (P.S. Big Vote!)

Joey, in this wonderfully evocative gallery you have demonstrated
to us the potential power and appropriate applications of infrared!
You have shown that these techniques are not second-best
alternatives to colour, but rather that it frees us from the
tyranny of colour, and encourages us to concentrate on
the other photographic elements and techniques.
But most important is the enhancement of mood,
atmosphere and spirit.
Outstanding!
Congratulations.
Voted !!

Joey, fantastic pictures, the colours and subjects are so interesting. I have recently bought a D50 but I am a complete amature. How did you produce these effects, I would love to know?

Very cool!

Hi Joey, these images are amazing. like Jared, I'd also like to give this technique a try on my new D50. I've done some infrared in the past using a TLR camera with 220 film and an R72 Hoya filter and while the results have been worthwhile, it's a lot of work in the darkroom. Could I hear from you what your technique is? Thanks so much and keep up the good work. Justin

Check your mail... Thanks!

Joey, I really like the IR photos from your D50. I am new to IR and would love to try it w/ my D50. What is your technique? What filters do you use? Are your images false color or IR+visible (most IR images i've seen are B&W)? Thanks for sharing them.
