Sony SENSOR hack - seeing light differently

I recently had my Sony NEX 7 modified as a full-spectrum camera. Essentially this means the sensor will recognize the visual spectrum in addition to Ultra-violet and Infrared light.
By using various filters on the lens, you can achieve some interesting results by limiting the light spectrum for both photography and video.
This weekend I'm going on another Sony trip to shoot some astro photography with Stan Moniz. Make sure you check out his channel and subscribe!

I could tell lots of stuff about it that would be perfect for videos. I've been trying this kind of stuff for a long time. For example, I took a slightly different path into full spectrum, by using non modified camera; working around it was challenging, but I came to know many things that maybe no one has ever thought about. One such aspect was "ditching" the filters for a moment to try and use purely light sources alone. UV was never much of my thing, but the process of making a composite was very interesting, as often the IR shots could be very long exposures (late afternoon, f/5.6, ISO 100 @ 5') & unexpected results could be attained. My method of creating UV was to use a proper blacklight (many don't work well, so it was a rare find) & turning photo to B&W for compositing with visible and/or IR. With IR+VIS, there are many variations, even with a regular camera & 850nm filter, however, the process of creating perfect composites is still very complicated. If you really know what to do, almost any type of spectral response can be achieved, by modifying; for example, take a 850nm+normal image, both identical, & merge in PS to achieve greater sharpness than what you can with a full spectrum camera. A full spectrum camera might be better overall for capturing a wide spectrum at once, but one could learn to focus precisely in each spectrum beforehand.

Inspiring video. I've played a little with both UV and IR. I bought a full spectrum modified camera on ebay quite a few years ago while I was still working, along with a collection of the types of filters you mentioned. I mostly used live view and full manual to get to the exposure I wanted because the camera's metering system couldn't seem to handle UV or IR. A tip I picked up for UV work is to do a manual white balance by photographing a piece of PTFE (Teflon ). You can also substitute a photo of a piece of typical city sidewalk concrete in a pinch. I've also used that technique to do the WB for IR with good results. The only other tip I can offer is to suggest trying out some of the very old single coated or uncoated screw mount lenses from the '60s and '70s to get into "poor man's" UV photography. It seems that many if not most modern lenses have coatings, glass, and / or multi element bonding cement that absorbs UV significantly more than the old lenses. I've found that old Petri and some Pentax screw mount lenses seem to pass UV acceptably. Also keep in mind that the various makes and models of sensors vary greatly in their sensitivity to UV, though IR should be less of a challange. I think I need to watch a little less youtube and dust off that old equipment! Again, great video. Have fun.

Beautiful shots. Oh man where to start. I shoot a lot of false color infrared. And I have 2 filter suggestions that are incredibly unique First the 550nm filter from Kolari Vision. It let's in a fair amount of the visible spectrum and the results look almost exactly like Kodak Aerochrome. The other is the Hyper Color filter from Life Pixel. I don't know how they did it. But they created a filter that can capture false color raw images that Lightroom can actually read properly. And on top of that skin tones are preserved so you can get some very dynamic images from it. I think that all I have for now, by the way I'm the same guy who dropped the capture one tip on Instagram! Hope to see you explore more niche photography ideas.

Akshay Anand both are filters you can attach to a full spectrum converted camera that blocks a portion of visible light to limit it to IR and a little bit of visible light. Technically our could get a camera converted to hyper color and use any IR filter because hyper color has a cut off shorter than 550nm. But for example, you couldn’t put a 550nm filter on a camera with a 720nm conversion because those wavelengths are already being cutoff. I hope that makes sense haha I’m not that great at explaining this stuff!

I'm really thankful that I read your comment else I'd I've missed that Lifepixel had that filter.

UV Filter, basically your average anti UV blocking filter on the market a.k.a. lens protector. In the old days is to prevent purplish haze on film camera in daylight because of UV pollution, today we simply use them for lens protector. What you need is UV Pass filter, hence only UV spectrum being passed over; but you'd need specialized lens as well because most lenses does block UV lights with their coatings. Either you'd use very old lens without anti UV coatings or some old nikon enlarger lenses (those known to not having anti UV coating because it doesn't need it for its intended purpose) or try to lap modern lenses without scratching it and remove the coatings (really hard to do correctly). Also for some cameras with weak IR blocking filter, one could almost get IR photo with cheap high density ND/VND because cheap one they simply block/reduce visible light without additional IR/UV blocking (happened to me when trying fuji HS20 and vari-ND.

I used to work a few blocks from a company called MaxMax in NJ that did IR, monochrome and other conversions on cameras. I was so tempted to have my old X-100 converted to monochrome but ended up selling it to fund other stuff. While not cheap, the image quality from a true monochrome sensor beats any B&W conversion done in post. And a converted camera is still half the price of a monochrome Leica.

Not to be the “jerk who points this out” but the UV->IR of the spectrum described in the video is actually the opposite. IR or Infrared is just below our visible Red and UV or Ultraviolet is just above our vision. The higher the number of nanometers means the longer the cycle of the wave which is inverse to the frequency of light. To put it simply higher nanometers = lower frequency.

If you have a cheap point and shoot (especially the older Sony ones with their wonderful CCD sensors), you can usually convert them yourself for the IR band. It involves removing a small glass filter pane from the lens assembly and then putting the camera back together. Then use unexposed film that's been developed as a visible light cut filter. Et voila, an IR camera. Full spectrum is a bit harder.
