  Q. IR Help!!!

Asked by Raamses Ortiz   Donor  (K=4408) on 4/3/2004 
I just got my IR filter a Hoya R72. Ok, I know what it does, but how do I start with it? I try it and I don't know what I got there. I need some hints to get on my way. Any help will be apreciate a LOT

Thanks!!

Raamses.

First, what are you using it for? Film or digital? If digital what camera? Some do not work very well with IR.

I'm using a digital Fuji S2Pro. I have seen some IR pictures here taken with my camera. So I know it can be used.

I would try: compose your shot, set camera to B/W,
view the subject with the LCD screen or the view finder with the filter in place. Do you see the image? If not, maybe that camera will not do IR photos.

Can you see through the filter? If not, you have a true IR filter.

Compose your shot, then put the filter on, and take the picture. It should work, if your digital camera can support it.

Most of the auto focus cameras have a hard time focusing when the filter is on the lens. If you have manual focus I would try that way of focusing. Good luck.

I made some tests. It works ok. The only porblem I see is that I need to compasate 6 stops with the R72. How exactly do I do that? or the camera does it by it self??

Thanks!!

I usually let the meter do the work. Look at your image after exposure and adjust up or down from the looks of the image. I usually have to boost the contrast in PS when done. Don.

Bracket your exposures. Check the histogram after each one. Check monitor for composition.

It should focus just fine through the filter, even though you can't see through it. Try ISO 1600 setting and bracket.
