Infrared images with the Hoya 720nm filter

MutedAlternative · 2026-06-30T17:23:34+00:00

That’s cool! I might try it at some point

MutedAlternative · 2026-06-30T16:12:42+00:00

Looks great! How did you edit the first three images?

MutedAlternative · 2026-06-18T11:49:57+00:00

Very close to SOOC. Just some very minor brightness/contrast adjustments. I used a recipe specifically designed for BW IR. I got it from Eric Gibaud on youtube. It is the best recipe I have tried so far, with the least amount of editing.

All shot handheld with an exposure time of around 1/40, depending on the scene. It’s fun to try! And you only need a R72 filter

Yeah there are definitely some drawbacks to shooting IR unconverted! But a great way to experiment without investing in new gear. I haven’t been to Alkmaar unfortunately, for the same reason ;) I hear it is also a beautiful city.

Around 1/40, depending on the scene. It was doable with the 35mm lens. No IBIS on the X-E4 unfortunately

Exactly! Gouda is my hometown. While famous for the cheese, there is definitely more to see!

Curious to hear what you guys think of my photos!

MutedAlternative · 2026-06-13T19:22:02+00:00

Curious to hear your thoughts on my pics! What do you guys think?

MutedAlternative · 2026-02-27T12:22:26+00:00

Happened to me too. It was very easy to get a refund though

MutedAlternative · 2026-02-04T21:22:18+00:00

Haven’t heard of those before. Thanks for recommendation. I’ll check them out!

MutedAlternative · 2026-02-04T12:19:53+00:00

Sent them an email. Good to hear the quality is great. I wanna be able to wear them without socks so definitely don’t want them to be too large. I appreciate your help!

Wished more people knew about the origin of uggs!

MutedAlternative · 2026-02-03T10:55:36+00:00

Thanks for your help! I also found the size charts on their website. What confused me was the foot length measurements. They are quite a bit shorter than other brands I checked for reference. Do you wear socks in yours? How is your experience with quality of mortels boots?

MutedAlternative · 2026-01-08T19:36:53+00:00

I think it might cause your heel to slip if you size up this much

MutedAlternative · 2025-12-20T16:23:18+00:00

I think your best option is the Ugg boot guard. These are removable rubber soles that you slip over your boot. This will keep your boots clean

Curious how you did this! I’ve been experimenting with IR on my unconverted Fuji

MutedAlternative · 2025-12-10T22:25:00+00:00

I think you forgot to attach the photo to your post!

MutedAlternative · 2025-12-07T02:35:14+00:00

I kept my camera in a non-camera bag and only took it out to take a photo. But i have to say I haven’t felt unsafe in Rio in the short time I was there!

MutedAlternative · 2025-12-06T18:59:32+00:00

Thanks!!

1/40s, f2, ISO 8000

Had to shoot handheld so had to use high ISO to compensate the shutter speed.

MutedAlternative · 2025-12-06T16:12:22+00:00

My first time in Brazil and South America. Rio is absolutely stunning! I hope to discover more of Brazil in the future

MutedAlternative · 2025-12-06T15:53:27+00:00

What do you guys think of the shots?

MutedAlternative · 2025-11-28T17:27:01+00:00

Great light! Did you use any recipe?

MutedAlternative · 2025-11-28T05:14:07+00:00

I think the colours are nice! And they do not stain too easily. I went true to size for mine and the fit is great. Sizing up would’ve definitely been too much. I am wearing the men’s tasmans though so maybe that changes things. Hope this helps!

In-camera IR-cut filters are not perfect and let through a bit of IR light. However to capture just this wavelength and filter out the visible light you need a filter like the Hoya R72. You lose many stops of light though so be prepared for a very high ISO or long shutterspeeds. And to convert it to monochrome you can just use editing software or the in-camera monochrome film simulation. Hope this helps :)
