In 2022 I converted my Fuji X-T3 to a dedicated 720NM infra red camera. Now thats ping has arrived, the infra red photography season has started and I venture out on my first infra red photo shoot of 2023. I take my camper van and set off to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, but am I too early?

Have fun with the Nikon Z8 😉

@JohnDrummondPhoto Год назад

Another Heaton video; another new British expression. "Enough blue sky to make a pair of sailor's trousers" is a very illustrative phrase indeed. As for the pre-release Nikon Z8 that you definitely don't have: your secret is safe with me.

Yellow Shimoda, nice one - Nikon special edition 😊

I have one word to describe this video “Tease”… touting a beautiful Shimoda bag and probably a fancy Z8 😒

It better be the Nikon Z8 @nikoneurope do not lose Thomas! If he goes back to Fuji or canon you only have yourselves to blame!

@SHENRAR Год назад

oh! that Shimoda yellow backpack is not a retail unit! great video, as usual!

@SevInf Год назад

Your videos from last year started my own IR photography journey. Thank you for that! One note on IR filters on unconverted cameras with long exposure: that might not work for some camras. In particular, Sonies have very powerful hot mirror filter which hardly lets any IR light in, so with 720nm filter they will just be let through a tiny portion of visible light.

@KyleClements Год назад

Thanks for posting another great video. I got a full spectrum conversion on a Z5 a few months ago that I use with filters, and 720nm is by far the one I use most often. When the light is bad for my regular camera, it's great for IR. With my Z lenses, some of them like the 50mm /1.8 are perfect, while others have hotspots that appear if I stop down below /8.

@Peterogen Год назад

@EdwardMartinsPhotography Год назад

I picked up a Nikon Z7II in anticipation of the thing you can't talk about that your making a video for next week. I mean if Nikon is going to make the very thing I want finally, then I should be in the system. The only problem I I think it's going to be Christmas 2025 before there's enough stock to actually get one for us mere mortals. (If it's what we have all been hopping for.) Cheers! 🙂

@nelehoremans2546 Год назад

Beste advice I thought was: 'adapt to the conditions your given, never fight them', great video Thomas! Loved the IR images of the field with the walls! And maybe better for you that the light didn't hit the tree in the end as I think you wanted to keep your left arm 🙂

@DarrenJSpoonley Год назад

Glad you got to keep your left arm, two arms are handy afterall :-) great adventure Pal, loved the shots

@leod1671 Год назад

Been watching your videos for some time now and I always enjoy them. I think I should say congratulations. If your news/review next Wednesday has a “zed” in it, congratulations. I think it is an accomplishment that you were recognized by one of the big OEM’s.

@peterkennington1043 Год назад

Yep I took my converted 720nm Lumix GX7 out for the first time this year, excited by the blue skies and fresh green leaves of spring. I don't think I would have bothered with a conversion had I not watched your video last year, so thanks for that.

@SimonPhillipsPhoto Год назад

Great to see another infrared video! I have just converted one of my Canon M50's to 720nm and enjoying it, I'm going away tomorrow for over a week and will bring it with me. I have struggled with some places in the past but I believe this will help me take those images.

@rosssayer6524 Год назад

Love that quote ……. Learn to adapt 👏👏

@uhorne Год назад

A quick tip for anyone that are considering to convert a camera to infrared: if you convert it to full spectrum, you'll have the flexibility to use various infrared filters and take photos as fast as a regular camera. If you use a filter on a regular camera, you could require a long shutter speed to get a good result. And you can also get a filter that makes it like a regular camera, so the same camera can be used for infrared and regular shots

@thomasploner9424 Год назад

Love your infrared videos! Inspired me to get started with IR photography

@delotusvijver4990 Год назад

I’ve been shooting IR for years. First with converted Canons and now with a converted Fuji XT1 - 700nm. IR is a wonderful way to see the world. I shoot IR the whole year even in winter or in cloudy conditions. It’s my prefered way to photograph. I enjoyed your video.

@olivernote9162 Год назад

I have a converted camera myself. I generally recommend the full spectrum conversion which lets you shoot in any infrared style depending on your front filter.

@chilecayenne Год назад

Who did your converted camera? I'm looking at the Kolarivision folks...they seem to do a pretty good job from what I can research....?

@olivernote9162 Год назад

@@chilecayenne I did, it was a Panasonic Lumix GF6. I did a disassembly on it to replace the filters with some high transmission glass. I even cut the glass myself. But I have plans to send a G100 to get converted by LifePixel since they are closest to me. I would do it myself but I would like some professionals to do it. Also I can’t seem to find a tear down of the G100 on the internet.

I love the tree on the hill shot💕 There's just enough infrared light reflecting off the leaves to make the image enticing. Looking forward to seeing the episode with the mystery item next week 📷

@ThomasHeatonPhoto Год назад

Thanks a lot. I wish there was a little more sunlight, then those leaves would have really popped.

@RodLittle Год назад

Fantastic to see all the Nikon comments/followers - lets not forget the OG Fuji subscribers though - I'm hoping for a Fuji review next week, ahead of the Fuji May 24th announcement of new camera body

@mikeissharp Год назад

A Nikon yellow Shimoda bag gives me a good idea what is to come next week.

@TimHodgesofEdinburgh Год назад

I stopped in that layby a few years ago. Took similar shots in colour. Since then I've "discovered" IR. Must go back to the Dales. Thanks for the video, good motivator to get the converted XT4 out

@millymucci Год назад

cool images, cool camera!

@ScottRae Год назад

Always good to see you get the IR out! Skeletal trees work well - some great trees on Hadrian's Wall. As you've said, it totally transforms summer - which I know how much you hate! :D Hotspots are always fun though. When I bought my last IR camera (a Z5) I bought the Z 24-200 to go with it, thinking it would be like the perfect 18-200 matched to my D7100 IR. Turns out it's the worst hotspotting lens I've ever had. It now lives on my Z7, which seems daft! and... OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Z8?!!

@TheSun1901 Год назад

Z8! Looking forward to it

@randyschwager2515 Год назад

Fun stuff! I can’t wait to see how you like the Z8! I’ve been anxiously awaiting it, but it sounds like Nikon is still pricing us out of the market! I’m also anxious to see more infrared photography! Thanks for taking me along!

@explorewithgeoff Год назад

That's my worry too that Nikon are pricing us out. If what's coming is what most people are predicting, it'll be way over my tiny budget. Can't wait to find out anyway.

@nickcarneyphotography Год назад

@@explorewithgeoff I understand what you're saying, but the truth is Nikon isn't pricing you out of the market. Either you are in the market for a high-end flagship camera or you're not. In fact if anything, they are opening up the high-end market to more users. You can't get a cheaper flagship model than what's coming. But they do need to bring out a Z6iii to get more enthusiasts in the system.

@thephotoyak Год назад

Unless the leaked specs are wrong, it's a flagship camera in a smaller body. Price isn't excessive for what it is. For landscapes alone, it doesn't do anything more than a Z7/7ii though.

@apstudios01 Год назад

I don't believe Nikon has priced anything. Hmmmmm

@Crispy_Bee Год назад

You may want to try and use a circular polariser for the sky to get a bit more texture and contrast in the clouds. Works for IR converted cameras and treats the IR reflections pretty much the same way.

@jtpettersen378 Год назад

I hope you will dedicate a video this summer to experiment with IR color photography. Curious to see what you can make out of that. Keep it up! 👍🏼

@Sturmhart Год назад

Thomas, good sources for knowledge which lens creates hotspots at which aperture are for example kolarivision, edwardnoble and robsheaphotography. Also manual vintage lenses without coatings tend to have no hotspots at all. I use some Konica Hexanon lenses adapted to my full spectrum X-T10 and they work excellent. Got my camera converted after you inspired me last year btw. Thanks for that, no regrets at all. And I use it also for astrophotography with the increased sensitivity in the reds.

@alanneilson6811 Год назад

Glad to see you out shooting IR again looking forward to more videos with the camera this year. Just picked up my second IR converted body but gone for a 850nm conversion a bit different to my other which is 665nm. Like the yellow bag. Don't shoot Nikon so not to bothered about that review but will still watch as enjoy your videos

@brin1174 Год назад

looking forward to the mystery..... next week. some nights zzzzzz ing ....

@scotty4418 Год назад

The first 2 images were definitely striking with the division between the walls and the fields. If you have your hands on the new z8 then that will definitely be one to watch

@kerrygrim7934 Год назад

Yup, that was easy to figure out next weeks video. looking forward. Surely it will have a sensor cover.

@SarrafLina Год назад

I guess that you are going to try the Z8 and report next week about it.

@rcl-crafter8 Год назад

So proud of you to be exploring infrared some more. We always wait for you to be sad when the sun comes out. Lovely to see you smiling and so excited to keep playing! As an aside, what yellow backpack are you carrying? Looks like a Shimoda but haven't seen a yellow one.

@MRQirex Год назад

I was staring at it too! looks exactly like a shimoda X30 but they have no yellow (at least I've find no one)...maybe Tomas is teasing us a Shimoda X30-II

@davidsargentcoffee Год назад

That tree shot on the cliffside is a real keeper. Nice job!

@The_LaughingHyena Год назад

I'm glad you're trying this out. I converted one of my old mirrorless to full spectrum after I got bored and uninspired. It really helped. A cool little bit, depending on how your camera is converted is to take an infrared picture and then take a normal picture from the same perspective and then selectively composite both images together. Edit: Oh man, that tree shot would have been amazing with a blue sky and some clouds rolling by. Next time, great work and video!

@ThomasHeatonPhoto Год назад

I like the sound of a composit. I bet you can get some great results.

Hey Thomas, how are you doing? I have been following your work for the past year or so. Stumbled upon your videos and found them very interesting. I have shot on IR with filters for my work at the museum. Amazing how colors and pigments look in IR and UV.

REally looking forward to next week's video. Hope it's the new D8. Glad it's going to be in Yorkshire. I learned to love that area from the sitcom Last of the Summer Wine. I'm not much into IR images. Sort of an affectation to me, but a lot of people enjoy them. Just not for me.

@pdarnold481 Год назад

Hello Thomas. I converted my X-T2 several years ago. I have found the Fujifilm 18-135mm lens to be fantastic for infra red through it's entire focal range. This lens may be a variable aperture, but for landscapes it works perfectly fine. And for the range of zoom, it's the only lens I need for it. You should give it a try.

@koenpijpersphotography Год назад

@lauradunphy3353 Год назад

Yea where did you get that yellow backpack, super cool! The photos are great too! 😂

@weisserth Год назад

Another IR option is to go with the Sigma Foveon cameras that have a removable IR cut filter in front of the sensor, such as the Sigma SD1 Merrill or the Sigma SD Quattro. The extra benefit of these cameras is the insane, medium format level detail resolution you'll get along with it. And you don't need to permanently convert the camera at all.

@PhotoTrekr Год назад

Timely, I'm thinking about using one of my cameras for IR photography.

Tom sounds like you are going to review the Z8. Thats great, I have the Z7.2 and have my eye on the 8 but really not sure what I get from the new camera other than faster focusing?
