City Walk

I have started using an infrared-enabled camera again. My previous efforts with infrared spanned February 2022 through May 2023. At that time I was using a (now) 20 year old Nikon D70s that had been converted to 590 nm by Lifepixel. I had a blast shooting with that camera and learning all I could about infrared photography. But after 15 months, I felt that I really needed a better camera to progress further. So, I put infrared aside and concentrated instead on making the switch from DSLR to mirrorless camera technology. In June 2023 I started shooting with a new Nikon Z7II and a trio of Nikon Z lenses. These were all bought with a return to infrared in mind. Finally, in July 2025, I received back my Nikon Z7II after it's infrared conversion. This time around I chose a full-spectrum conversion by Kolari Vision (https://kolarivision.com). A lot of research went into those decisions, and I'm quite pleased with the results. Full spectrum means that the camera "sees" everything that the sensor is capable of. That means everything from near ultraviolet (UV), through the visible spectrum, and well into near infrared (IR). By adding external filters, I can control which part(s) of this range to use to make photographs. Here are some initial shots using my IR Chrome Lite filter. This filter essentially combines blue and infrared light to mimic the style of Aerochrome film.
