Thanks for sending me the big one DK. After staring at it for about 2 minutes strait i gotta tell ya i don't have the slightest clue what they are. Do birds give off enough heat for an IR sig?

I don't think its birds. If they were as high as you think they were then possibly one of those starlike ufo's we've been talking about for a while??? I'm boggled.

that answered my main question.

thank you

Yep, I was expecting some one to come in and say 'balloon' or the like, but insects? under IR? birds? under IR? you know, I am going to take some pics of birds on a sunny day over head to compare it with to the pic in this thread. Then we can compare fairly.

Look how low it is! come off it, the two don't even compare. Thats like holding an orange at arms length and comparing it to the sun.

You dont't have to go out and take an IR photo of a bird. We can all look at one right here, in the link I just posted as a reply to another member:

Its a white bird and thats the only reason it looks white, however birds dont glow in Infrared.

So yes, if you take a picture of a white bird at close range you will see white bird, however you wont see them glowing off there in the sky because they dont.

Also the image you showed looks more like it was stylised in PS rather than an IR image, it was image filtered in a paint app.

Yes, the bird in the photo is low, because it flew a a low altitude. So I guess the birds in your photo flew in a higher altitude, that's all.

Can i ask what modifications were done to the G6 to make it IR and ask how, if it was a G6 with only x4 magnification, that you managed to get the shots?

Respects

not a pure IR image taken straight from the camera of a bird at high altitude, so you cannot compare it. I will however take high altitude bird pics if its possible and compare.
Then i'll show in the htread how wrong you are.

I pointed the camera in the right way was how I got the shot, and as for how the camera is IR, the internal glass is swapped over, and is now purely IR.

Now bearing in mind I was working off the main flip out screen and not the view finder, they glowed bright white. Thus they show up as such in the picture.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by a "pure" IR image. And do you really not understand that birds at a high altitude would look like dots on the sky? The higer up, the smaller dots... Do the word perspective mean anything to you?

reply to post by ziggystar60




You leave me speechless. OK, look, at the altitude these were, and the fact they were glowing in my screen and bright enough to be captured on camera from such height means that they cannot be birds. Birds reflect IR yes, they do not pump it out at such levels that it glows on the screen, so hence forth it must of been a source of IR, and not a reflection.

There is nothing in your photo that suggests that the birds (or balloons or insects or whatever) "pump IR out at such levels that it glows on the screen" The fact is that in your photo, we only see some faint, small dots.
There is nothing that suggests that the dots "must of been a source of IR, and not a reflection."
(I guess you mean "must have been", right?. Not to nag about spelling, I just want to make sure that I understand you correctly.)

That would be most helpful. I look forward to seeing the comparison.

reply to post by ziggystar60


OK, last time I am going to explain this. The camera has no ability to pick up visible light. It works on IR only. Now, to be seen those objects must of either had A) massive IR reflectivity, or B) radiating huge amounts of IR so the camera way down below could pick it up and show it on the picture. Follow that?

Just to say one thing; my spelling and grammer? if it bothers you? tough.

I'll do it in the morning again if its sunny. 9 am, same sunlight conditions same angle if its possible too. What i am thinking of doing to get across my point that this camera is not visible wave length capable is to do a dark room torch light demonstration. Would that help too?

Do Humans give off IR radiation in levels that can be picked up on that camera?

Since the sky doesn't reflect or radiate IR radiation it appears very dark in infrared. Any source of IR, reflected or radiated, may appear quite bright in contrast.

Clouds are very good reflectors (not radiators) of IR so they show quite brightly against a dark IR sky.

No sorry it isn't. Thats the domain for IR film or specialist equipment as the sensitivity is so much higher than a camera sensor on a unit thats a bulk standard non-specialised piece ala Canon G6.
