The Nikon D70 DSLR is ideal for digital infrared photography, mainly because of their power settings. I will take a moment to show what the camera settings I use for my digital infrared photos and, hopefully, help you get the best results from your Nikon digital SLR.

The first thing – a tripod is almost a necessity for a perfect shot infrared and infrared filter of your choice – I like the Hoya R72.

Then take some 'time to plan their digital infrared photography. Take the time to do so in advance will help to eliminate some of the uncertainties of digital infrared photography, which can only lead to a photo, instead of a WOW! photos.

As always with these things, there is no single way to achieve results. However, these are the steps that I had the most success, with my D70 so far.

Image Type

For digital infrared photography that actually prefer to shoot in RAW mode. Even if the native format Nikons NEF is so versatile, not only reach the high quality RAW mode, and imperfections can be modified using Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro ISO

Good results can be achieved by increasing the ISO, but I had the best results when I leave at 200. Otherwise, the noise is too great – at least in my opinion. Also, a lot of jobs in store for photo processing, so that noise is a problem when working at higher magnifications. Remember that, unlike film, where the grain is part of the look and feel of digital infrared image grain or noise actually degrades the image. If you want to add the look of film grain, do it in Photoshop or other programs for editing images.

White Balance

In my experience, setting a custom white balance is a key element for a good digital infrared photography with the Nikon D70. Since you're using a filter that blocks most "regular" light, the camera's internal mechanism of the white balance can not give a precise measure of the color temperature of its surroundings. As the foliage reflects infrared light, making it the brightest, whitest of the picture, it is necessary to "calibrate" your D70 to let know that the green light is visible as white infrared.

There are a couple of ways to do so.

NUMBER 1: The simplest way to use the white balance D70 is to open the menu, use the control button to flip the setting of white balance, and switch to fluorescent 3. Since the infrared photograph, you can turn in more than bright sunlight with a "red" filter, adding some false color correction in the camera seems to give his latest infrared images more "punch. "I also found the incandescent setting works too.

Number 2: Another way to adjust the white balance for digital infrared photography with the Nikon D70 is a shot of green grass in full sunlight at noon. Only the grass – not the foot, without trees, without the sky. Only the camera budding research, and click! Now, in the menu, you can adjust the white balance of this photo. Then, go to the menu, select the white balance,> Presets> Use image> select image> use their control to navigate to the image of the grass (hopefully, is the only credit card to make it easier) . The menu should read "the image> set. "Now you're ready to shoot infrared!
