I converted a T2i camera to IR and have been having a blast with the images it produces. Let's see what others have done with IR and their Canon cameras.

Here are a few:

Thanks for sharing chez. Ir is a lot of fun. Which filter did you go with? I am thinking of doing the same with my t2i for high contrast b&w

I went with the standard IR filter. I wasn't into the extreme colour shift with the colour filter and the deep b&w was a little too much. I'm happy with my choice as you can coax some subdued colours out if you want and I use Nik SilverEXF to convert to full B&W when I want to go there.

I really like what it does with portrait. Makes the skin pale and smooth and does weird things with the eyes and hair...depending how you have white balance set. The girl in the portrait above has auburn hair which turns into a nice blue / grey under IR.

Congrats Harry on your converted IR. Here are a few from the past few years. I had a 5D classic converted then later a 5D MKII with IR 715 and also a Full Spectrum which I use with various IR filters put on the lens up to and including IR1000.

Cool thread. This is an area of interest for me in the not too distant future.

A few more.

The pigments in clothing will always give unexpected results. In this shot she was dressed in a black Nun's outfit.

Though what I like most with IR is shooting old buildings and structures

Great images so far

I've got a 50D I was thinking to convert, did you folks get your conversions done by LifePixel or some other company? I'm thinking on going full spectrum, any thoughts?

Thanks for the thread and images Chez!

My 1st camera 5D classic I bought directly from maxmax already converted by them. A few years later it up and quit, no power and I sent to Canon for repairs and they replaced the whole sensor unit filter and all. I later sold it since the 5D MKII was already out.

My 5D MKII IR conversion and full spectrum MKII conversion were done by Life Pixel.

Things to be aware of with Full Spectrum is you will need a few filters. One for letting in colour only I use a B+W 489 and B+W 486. Another for IR lots to choose from there depending on how much IR light you want to let in. I use everything from Heliopan 645 through Heliopan 1000, but my most frequent used one is the B+W 093. The B+W 092, Hoya RM72 are also nice so you can get the red and blue channel switch capabilities. With full spectrum you can go extreme and also use regular coloured filters (Yellow 8, Green 11, Red 25, Orange 15 etc).

You may see additional hot spots going the filter on the lens route as internal reflections at times may be an issue on some lenses. There is less of an issue with the internal filter over the sensor replaced for IR only. Older Canon lenses have less issues with hotspots when stopping down to F11-F16 than newer lenses.

If you plan on shooting UV you will need to look at other lenses from other manufacturers. With my UV lenses I use a Baeder-UG11 XX telescope filter that eliminates all light except UV. Others may tell you that the B+W 403 is for UV but the filter does allow some IR light through also, the same goes for the Wratten 18. For lenses themselves I use a Coastal Optics 60mm UV-VIS-IR, Nikon UV 105mm, of more reasonable priced options (but less UV capabilities) Nikon Series E 28, also used a Nikon Series E 35 and lately a Ciero 35mm. Sorry but Canon lenses have most UV light eliminated with the coating on the lens.

The full spectrum conversion gives you the most options on which spectrum to shoot from, but if you are doing UV or IR you lose the ability for composing as the filter is too dark to see through the viewfinder. If the camera has live view you can still use it to compose, if no live view then you must compose first then put the filter on and adjust for focus. With the filter over the sensor you can still use AF and the viewfinder to compose.

these are some pretty cool shots although I think IR does not bring out the best in people like black and white.

I am thiniking about converting an old 40D to full spectrum.

Is it necesary to put a clear filter to protect the sensor or can I omit it if I focus with Live View?

Great thread idea! I have an IR-converted 5D MkII camera body with cutoff at 715 nm.

For full spectrum camera conversion, a clear glass is put onto the sensor. But you need filters on top of your lens(es) to select the range of the light spectrum in which you want to photograph (otherwise you get everything from UV, color and IR which is often undesired). The AF can't be calibrated exactly for full spectrum, but it will work with LiveView focusing.
