Howdy,
Recently, i've purchased a modded canon 40D. I found out instead of the regular Baader UV/IR filter replacement, it actually has a Baader BCF filter replacement. The first attached picture is the BCF Filters wavelength. Comparing the BCF filter wavelength chart, and the UV/IR filter chart 2nd image, they both look identical in wavelength.
Ok, so i balanced my colours using custom white balance properly and test the modded cam on daylight images (see pic 3). There is no green to be found with the leaves. I then hold up the Hutech LPS2 filter infront of the camera lense, it looks normal (see pic 4). Does that mean my camera can take IR images as it looks like IR light is passing through?? In your opinion, does pic 3 looks like a typical IR shot without the actual IR lense filter?
Would anyone know whether the Hutech LPS2 filter incorporates IR block also as it looks normal once it is held up infront of the lense?
Any recommendations in what filter i should be looking for to take normal daytime photography?
I have messaged Ted from Hutech, he too believes my camera is somehow letting IR light in. Scott Alder (Tornado33) suggests the Hutech front filter for daytime use but switching back to astro use i have to take the filter back out.
Can any filter guru's out there confirm 100% that my camera is indeed letting IR light? i don't want to spend $289 US to get a UV/IR front filter from Hutech and find out that it doesn't work. Another example is pic 5 and pic 6 where the colour blue in an object normally will turn out purple. Pic 6 was taken with the Hutech LPS2 filter infront of the lense.
Just need to relief my stress and need some help with what kind of camera exactly do i have
.
Many thanks .
