I decided to see if my D700 was suitable for IR photography. I used my old Nikon 18-70mm, which is a DX lens, as it had right size thread for my Hoya IR72 filter at 67mm.
I set the CWB using the PRE, by aiming at the "green green" grass. All the shots were exposed for 30 secs anything less didn't seem to cut it. I got mixed results with the D700. It is definitely less sensitive to IR than my D70.
It was quite a cloudy day and during the 30 secs exposures if any one of the many clouds moved and blocked out the sun the shot would be ruined.
Did you make another go at it? I just ordered the B+W 093 IR for my D700.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I received my filter and gave it a good go and quickly found out with the 093 swapping channels does not work well. This filter is better suited for black & white IR and they were quite impressive on the D700. I too found 30sec to be matched well at ISO 800 & 640.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Thanks for the feedback about the 093. I will keep that in mind.
ReplyDeleteCan you send me a link to your pics? I love to see your BW IR shots. I need some motivation to get off my ass and do more IR but I need some inspiration.
Cheers
It's been awhile, here is one I've just posted.

Hi Shasta,
ReplyDeleteYes, it has been awhile. The shots look great. What settings did you use? 30 secs at ISO 800??
Cheers
