It is a big area too look at, and lots to research before I take my first step into it.. The money is a big issue too, I don't want to fork out all that cash, to end up with the wrong camera/filter/lens combination
I also know its tricky to edit to get some of the interesting, otherwordly colours, and I want to make sure I'm prepared with the right software and workflow before I take the leap.
I know there are some screw on IR filters that will work with an unmodified camera (and a tripod)... I might give one of those a go, and dip my toes into this photography niche
Would be really interested to see what else you achieve with different lenses :-)
IR photography gear can be expensive, but you can reduce costs by defining your needs before. I suggest you to read a lot about it before making a move.
As I said above, you don't need to edit pictures. But you have to make your brain work instead of delegating it to the machine 😉
You can do tryouts with a regular camera using long-exposure but it's very, very limited.
One tip : don't use cheap filters and don't hesitate to put the right price on it. It's a once in a lifetime expense if you take care of it.
Agreed, definitely needs to be something to be considered fully, and what I hope to get from it before making the purchases
Thanks for sharing your comments/experiences :-)
You're welcome.
You can grab high quality filters on the second-hand market for a fair price ;)
Feel free to ask if you need tips.
