photoartflightKolara Canon Full Spectrum IR Elph
I like photographing InfraRed images, but I did not want to modify one of my existing cameras to InfraRed. I have used Infrared Filters on my Cameras, but the cameras were not modified for InfraRed so you had to use a tripod with Infrared filters which had long exposure times which is limiting your choice of subjects and more to carry in the field. Kolara came out with a modified Full Spectrum InfraRed Canon ELPH (20 megapixel for~58 meg file ) that also gives you a choice of 37mm filters for a variety of InfraRed images. I started with the basic set of 3 filters, 590nm IR Filter, 720nm IR Filter and a 37mm Hot Mirror Filter which converts it back to a Regular Imaging Point and shoot pocket camera. Also you can get a wide variety of 37mm IR Filters for different B&W or Color InfraRed imaging. Where a Regular Modified Camera only has one IR setting. The images here were taken with the 37mm 720nm IR Filter.

Some really interesting images, Reed. Thanks for the details!
Thanks so much Eliza! It is a different & fun way to photograph basically in B&W!
I’ve never seen shots like this before Reed. They are so crisp.
When I played with Infra Red film back in the early seventies the exposures were limited. A summers day appeared like winter time as the grass turned white and the graininess gave a surreal appearance. The anti-halation layer scattered the light giving a ghostly quality.
I didn’t know this effect could be done electronically?
Go to a cemetery, the effect is even more so ghostly.
Thanks for the feedback! I just got the sort of “starter” filters to see if I liked the camera and the IR B&W Images. It is definitely a fun camera to use. I will also be buying filters soon for color infrared images. They have a very wide selection of filter types to use. That is why I bought this Modified Canon Elph instead of converting one of my old Digital cameras. This One camera can give you a wide assortment of IR effects, both B&W and color IR you just have to use different filters. They even have a filter that mimics the old Kodak InfraRed Film. Thanks again!
Lovely images, Reed, interesting in using infra-red for B&W!
Thanks Donna! Infrared B&W images seem to have a little more “depth” to them and are fun to do! After photographing commercially & personally for over 50 years it adds a new creative way of photographing my subjects! Soon I will also be trying color infrared. But those images might be a little too strange & weird in color!
