In My Return to Infrared Photography Part 1 and Part 2 articles, I write about my experiences and workflow using the Sigma SD1 Merrill (SD1M) as an infrared (IR) camera. The SD1M is a simple camera to use for IR shooting because its IR blocking filter can be removed by the user. That was a few years ago, and I have since updated it to a mirrorless IR-converted camera. This article talks about why I chose the camera and lenses I use for IR photography, along with images I have made. I share my post-processing workflow and a link to a more extensive workflow video. This article is not intended to be a deep dive into IR photography, but rather an overview for the photographer seeking information and directives for further study, or who may be interested in why my black and white (BW) photography has a particular look. Let’s get started.
In my prior article titled, Camera Bag Versatility, I explained how I use lens cases to stow most of my lenses and some smaller gear items. As time passes, we face gear upgrades and letting go of gear we ended up not using enough to justify keeping. Well when this happens to me, I like to recycle my lens cases when I can. I use a very simple method that works for me and may work for you. Below is the former case for my Fujifilm 23/2 lens that became available when I passed the lens on to another photographer because I found I never used it.
