I figured I'd take a quick break and write up the post for the two infrared photography videos ( episode 23 and episode 24 ). This topic is by no means a small one, so as you saw in the video I really honed in on shooting with "regular" cameras, meaning non-IR modified, using IR filters. I would say that if you're new to infrared photography, then this is a good way to gain some experience without spending too much money. Of course if you take a liking to the realm of red, then there are lots of options to take this niche further. If it's one piece of information I couldn't find, it's in regard to at what frequency the IR blocking filter on the sensor cuts out. As you saw in the video my E-P2 could pick up the remote control's IR "beam", but I wonder where the limit is. I'm guessing it's around 720nm, but perhaps I didn't look hard enough or this is some sort of manufacturer secret as it may be used to somehow enhance the quali...

Hey look! It's almost midnight! I think I'm starting to be very predictable with these uploads. Anywho, part 2 of infrared photography is live on YouTube. Overall I like the way this episode turned out. I used to teach Photoshop some years ago, so this wasn't all that different; very specific perhaps and limited in time as I have to keep the videos to under ten minutes in length (maybe someday I'll become a YouTube partner and I can break that barrier... then no one will watch my epic nine hour long Photoshop tutorials! On second though, I'll keep'em shorter). As for the supplemental blog post, I will be combining both parts one and two as they relate to each other very nicely indeed. Hopefully in a few days I'll have that written up and I do have several IR links to add... well the links aren't in infrared, you'll be able to see those. *chuckle* Oh dear. It's very late.

Well I just uploaded episode 23 of my photography series on infrared photography ; this show being a response to a request (off a profile comment). No big surprise here, it's once again getting late and I need a little shut-eye. So enjoy the video and I will of course be working on a supplemental blog post in the next few days... or so. L8r!
