950nm Infrared Filter on a Full Spectrum Converted Full Frame Camera.

Note: All the useful info is in the first 2 minutes.
The rest is just footage of High Park in 950nm infrared.

Last time I tested my 950nm infrared filter was in late fall, and it was fairly late in the day when the sun is low in the sky. I had rather poor results, with the range of light from brightest bright to darkest dark taking up only a thin sliver of the histogram. Imagine an image only going from 75%-50% grey.

I wanted to test it again closer to June 21st, and closer to noon, when the sun is highest in the sky and the daylight is the brightest.

This time around, the filter performed much better. My blacks still look lifted, but the range of tones is much wider now, going from about 90% grey to white.

There is some brightness and loss of contrast towards the center of the frame with the 14-30mm/4 S lens at f/5.6 and smaller apertures. This isn't noticeable on the video from the Nikon Z5, as the 1.7X crop factor cutes off the edges, the result is an entire image that just looks a bit soft.

I used a custom white balance setting for the video, and this is straight out of the camera, no curves correction or saturation adjustments.

Background noise composed by me in FL Studio 11. Glorious 8-bit chip tune patterns!
