Not the cover slips they are very thin like 0.1 mm.
The glass slides about 70mm X 20mm, I cut a piece off 9mm X 8mm. Yes it is shaky hand stuff 😀
I have a fine diamond grinder which I cleaned up the edges on.
I have been cutting dichroic pieces too, 49.5 mm dia for different filters to try the effects. Putting them into cheap UV filter holders with screw-in retainers.
""Infra-red HDR could be interesting.""
Yes that could be interesting.
I have seen a IR night time 5mins exposure landscape that looked OK too.
As well as the Hoya R72 I have some HK 850 & 950 IR pass filters. The 850 I used on a dull day & got a very misable looking pic of snow & frost look alike street view. I want to get a 600 - 650 IR pass, this maybe nice at night.
I have been making some IR spot lights too. The best one is a 6v floating boaty torch, large reflector. You can place blue, red & yellow or green perspex in front of it & only IR is emitted. If you look at the front of the torch you will see a dark red glow, but when pointed away from you, nothing is seen by us, but the full spectrum camera can see what it is pointed at very clearly.
I was thinking of converting the two
A570 to full spectrum, but after opening up one, they are a [admin: avoid swearing please] inside ! Much harder then the
S2IS, so will leave for later.
I have some 3D red / cyan clip-on glasses, but I think the red is too dark ?
Anyway the pics I have looked at on the internet, most I have trouble viewing ? They seem to be too widely shifted or offset ?
The ones that I like the most are of steam locos & motor bikes. It seems to be the detail in the near depth & not to much of the distance background, that I seem like.
