Equipment InfraRed & Ultraviolet
I originally tried IR photography with the Fuji finepix S602 unmodified with the acetate filter (purchased from ebay for £5.00 GBP.) I have no idea at what frequency the filter cuts off at but it works and was cheap - big thumbs up. Initial results were ok but the exposure times ran into the seconds causing the images to contain a high degree of noise. I modified the s602 by removing the filter from the ccd (nerve wracking but actuallt not that difficult). The transformation was remarkable, exposure times are fast enough for hand held photography and the level of noise has been reduced to acceptable levels for this type of camera. Next on the wish list is a higher quality optical IR filter - If I can purchase one at a decent price - I would be interested to see what difference one would make in real terms
No images available yet as my filter hasn't been delivered from the US supplier - watch this space. Macro Photograhy
The camera is now modified for IR & UV so the daylight colour balance is miles out so my conventinal closeup & macro work is on hold until I can afford a suitable lens of extension tube for my dSLR. Conventional Photograhy
Just getting used to this camera as a replacement for my old and now defunct OM4 Odds & Sods
