Question

[oldknifemaker]

I'm an old film photographer and I used to shoot a lot of infrared film. Can you make an infrared exposure with digital?

I read somewhere it is possible with some DSLR's, but you have to modify the camera by dismounting some filter.
May be some one with more knowledge can chime in.

When I shot infrared I had to use a number 25 dark red filter. A filter passes it's own color. I know nothing about digital, can you shoot b&w. and if you can maybe shoot a b&w with a red filter? B&w was my favorite medium.

b&w was my favorite, too, when I shot analog cams and I still own a ILFORD FP4 film. But I never had interest in IR-photography.

May be this will help a little... --> https://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/technique/camera_skills/how-to-shoot-infrared-photos-3934

Vito, thanks for that info, it is just what I was trying to find out. May all your photos be in focus!

Yes you can shoot IR on a modern digital camera,you can have the filers removed from the front of the sensor to make it a full spectrum camera and then use various screw on lens filters to only allow the spectrum within the IR range to pass through this gives unique different image qualities....i have a Nikon D300 fully converted this way,but another way is by using various IF screw on filters only.
Having the dedicated filters removed from in front of the sensor is the best way forward though.
