Here's a space for anyone to post their digital infrared images. There's already a thread for infrared film, maybe there are other digital IR shooters here?

Please provide details such as camera, IR filter wavelength and lens used.

I'll start with a camera and lens I just got yesterday, the Fuji X-H1 and a Laowa 14mm lens. I also use a tilt-shift adapter.
The Fuji was converted to 720nm and the Laowa seems to shown no hotspots at all.

In my career I design, built and put into space a number of infrared electro-optical sensors. A digital camera without the so called "hot filter" can potentially take some spectacular infrared images. I look forward to seeing them and comparing the results with HIE, Rollei IR 400 and IR Ektachrome examples.

What a great job that must be!
Converting infrared digital cameras is nothing new, it's been happening ever since digital photography went mainstream.
I used to shoot lots of infrared film, mostly HIE, which I still maintain was the best B&W emulsion ever made.
But now, using digital cameras to shoot infrared is so much easier, and dare I say, provides better results. So much so that I'd never go back to shooting infrared film, unless HIE got resurrected.
I usually have my cameras converted to 720nm as it provides some color, but it's not as garish-looking as, say, a camera converted to 550nm.
In any case, the possibilities are endless and there are some excellent, interesting lenses always being made available for the digital shooter, so it's an exciting way to shake things up.

Thread title changed slightly, because every time I read "Post Digital" I kept thinking "After Digital".

I as well shoot digital IR but not with a converted camera. I've been getting by with a 720 filter over the lens. But... I still prefer the film look of Rollei, and especially from the few sheets of 8x10 EFke IR and 4x5 HIE that I have...

Cheers, Andrew.
I like the subtler colors I get with digital 720nm, and if it looks better in B&W, then converting the image is painless.
Shutter speeds are much faster with digital, so I can handhold all my shots. But I use a tripod for architecture.

Pretty shot, benveniste. I like keeping the skies red sometimes as well.
Where is this?
