Insider: Canon EOS R7 Disassembly and Teardown

In May 2022, Canon introduced the EOS R7, the first APS-C camera in the relatively young R system. The camera sensor has a resolution of 32.5 megapixels and is moving - the manufacturer promises 7-stage image stabilisation. On the data sheet, it is a very powerful, small camera with many functions and great ergonomics. But what does it look like under the hood and, above all, how suitable is it for infrared photography?

Architecture in Infrared

Author: Werner Eisenreich

I have been taking pictures since I was 6 years old, practically as long as I can remember. Infrared photography entered my life in analog form in 1990, and also digitally 2 years ago with a converted Fujifilm X-M1 with 700nm infrared filter.

The new darktable version 4.0 was released about 4 weeks ago. Of course I give an overview about the new features and changes - especially for IR photography. One thing right away: most of the changes are under the hood and for IR processing almost nothing has changed.

Ep. 41: Color-IR without channel Swap? - 630 nm

To get an appealing color infrared with yellow foliage and blue sky a channel swap is usually necessary. With the exception of the InfraBlue filter, obviously this is true, but there may be subjects that simply look better without a channel swap. But when is that the case, and how do you know what works better?

Ep. 39: Review of darktable 3.8 for Infrared Image Editing

The new darktable version 3.8 is released and of course we have a look at the new features from an infrared post-processing point of view. Generally this version offers a lot of improvements and some very exciting new modules. I will not discuss all the new features but only those that are relevant for IR photography. All details and features are explained on the website (also with the latest manual by the way).

A big thank you to all developers and people involved!

Ep. 37: Pond Rose Basin in Infrared - Colokey Image editing with 700 nm Filter

A Colorkey infrared processing, meaning blue sky and monochrome landscape, simply never loses its charm. This processing is possible with any Infrared filter that allows color processing. The Colorkey processing itself is done very fast and uncomplicated with darktable. Many thanks to Marion Reibetanz for providing the photo from the Cologne Vorgebirgspark!

Ep. 36: Safiental in 700 nm Infrarot - Schwarz-Weiß Bildbearbeitung mit darktable

With the 700 nm filter you can take both black and white and color infrared images. But you can also use the color information to have maximum control over a black and white image. How to do this with darktable is shown in this tutorial. Many thanks to Gion-Andri Derungs for this beautiful alpine scenario from the Safiental in Switzerland!
