Nominations for the March Image of the Month (IotM) close at the end of the day on Sunday, March 31. Get your four nominations in!
Mine kicks the camera into Night Mode.TBH im surprised you get anything, as the filters are so inhibitive. mines really black. ill give it a go.
My main issue is with the center being the only really useful part. It gets darker and “mushier” towards the edge. This is especially noticeable on the higher values. I stick with the 720 and 760, and rarely venture to 850, as here, or even over 900.View attachment 169879View attachment 169880
With my IR850 52mm filter clumsily held to the phone, a bit of light bleed and reflection. Straight out of the camera and with a quick twiddle with the controls.
I have an IR720 Filter that fits onto my Moment x2 lens using their 62mm adapter that’s on the end. I bought it about 2 years ago and never got around to trying it out. Perhaps now with this chatter I need to have a go.View attachment 169888
Yes, its almost impossible to see anything unless its in full sun (early evening here). Tried using LRM to take the shot, but ill need to check the settings first. On the plus side, I knocked up a simple filter holder with a 52mm step up ring and a cardboard box! I just put the phone in the back and it excludes most of the glare.

What camera app are you using to take the photo? Doesn’t it usually require a long exposure?Up the Street
Snapseed, 760NM IR filter, iColorama
I still wish IR filters would darken the blues significantly, so I masked the sky and darkened it in iColorama.

As I was googling the IR filters I saw the colors red, green and blue, mostly. I sort of surmised that the red would be the one that best mimics infrared. Put me in mind of doing some experimenting with Snapseed black and white with the filter options. So far, I’ve figured out your have to start there to have the filters work. ( )Back on July 21 I posted images on “Qualities of an IR Photo” - the greens turn white, the blues turn black. Back in the day, this wasn’t accomplished with a filter. The film picked up wavelengths of light that the eye couldn’t see.
With the advent of digital, people had to get their cameras modified with special sensors that would also “see” those wavelengths. Now, for true IR, you had to have not just special film, but a special camera, only good for IR. That’s not possible for phone cameras.
IR filters are an attempt to approximate what IR sensors do, using only visible light. A red filter blocks out blue, making it darker, and lets in more green light. Afterwards, you have to indulge in post-processing to do more work that the IR film or sensor would do.
Here’s my shot from yesterday, straight out of the camera with the filter.

I’m using the standard iOS camera app. As I said, sometimes the longer exposure needed flips me into night mode.What camera app are you using to take the photo? Doesn’t it usually require a long exposure?
I did shoot analog IR film back in the day. I get that this is an approximation. I just like to mess around and frankly I like the way juryjone Jerry’s images and the others look and think that look might add to some of my collages. In fact I’ve used a couple that I made using a “IR“ combo in Hipsta. One image I used is posted. To see the sort of collages I do you’ll have to look at my 52. I have invaded Jerry’s thread enough.Star - using an Ir filter is a bit of a pain, as Juryjone says, the camera goes into might mode and exposure time goes up. The real IR filters are nearly black, the RGB ones are additive and subtractive filters, mostly for mono work. To get true IR effects, you need a camera adjusted to full spectrum sensitivity. A screw on filter will approximate the effect, but only after considerable post work in Lightroom or similar. I'm taking my IR filter with camera and phone on a vacation this weekend, to see what I cannget from it, but you need strong sunlight for the best effect and its predicted clouds
Thanks Jerry! Snapseed was my immediate thought. I tried the red filter and saved it, thinking I would double the effect. There was no change. Odd, I thought. I use to use Lightroom on my Mac, but haven‘t much messed with the mobile LR.IR film also gives a bit of glow to the image. While Snapseed’s Glamour Glow is very nice, I prefer to use iColorama‘s Effects>Glow. I usually use it at about 15-20% opacity, but this could handle 50%. I also, for this image, warmed it slightly with the Temperature slider.

So here’s my finished image. I am happy with this approximation. I realize that most IR purists would not be.

This thread is designed for invasion!I have invaded Jerry’s thread enough.
That’s because there is no color left after the first pass for the colored filters to work on.Thanks Jerry! Snapseed was my immediate thought. I tried the red filter and saved it, thinking I would double the effect. There was no change. Odd, I thought.
Duh…..That’s because there is no color left after the first pass for the colored filters to work on.
Hmm, couldn’t find iArtwork.I’m Outta Here
NeuraShot, Snapseed, Decim8, iArtwork, Freemix, iColorama, ReType
Experimentation gone wild. Test shot taken with a new camera app, NeuraShot, which does a credible job on the “computational“ photography it is meant to do. I’ll look into it some more. Added Grunge in Snapseed. Took it through Decim8, then iArtwork’s Tracing function, which gave the “stuttering” brickwork. (iArtwork is an app much like MetaBrush.) Went to iColorama to add a Freemix object and convert to B&W. Added the banner in ReType.

Could it be iArtbook?Hmm, couldn’t find iArtwork.
I wondered but it doesn’t look like an app like MetaBrush.Could it be iArtbook?
