DIY IR EP1 on Flickr.
Digital IR Lomo style, with my E-P1.
Yup, that’s right… I have taken my Olympus E-P1 and had it made into a full spectrum camera. Did this by taking it apart and removing the IR Cut and anti-aliasing filter pack from the sensor.
I took a piece of unexposed but developed E6 film, put it on the inside of my Olympus 15mm F/8.0 Bodycap lens.
I have found that the focus has been effected, so not everything is as sharp as it could be, but with the 15mm Bodycap lens, there is a setting just as you are about to close the built in shutter on the lens, where the lens retracts ever so slightly, and this is enough to make me get sharp-ish images.
The results are pretty cool. You can do this too, all you need is an Alex!
Alex is available for rental! Just be warned, conversion is not always 100% successful. My LCD was killed during my conversion. But two other conversions were totally successful.
But, I do not mind a Digital Lomography IR camera ;-)

Went out shooting today with my friend Terry and was testing out some gear on the lovely Sarah who has modeled for us before. Hope to do some more with her soon.
Took a walk in the park close to home this afternoon with my lovely wife.
Took some photos of her with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Olympus 45mm F/1.8 m.Zuiko
Some photos that I took this week, of a friend of mine who wanted some photos of herself like this.
Taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 with various lenses:
- Panasonic-Leica 25mm F/1.4 Summilux
- Olympus 45mm F/1.8
- Contax-G Sonnar 90mm F/2.8 T*
Some are lit up with the Elinchrom Quadra Ranger, some are lit with hotlights reflected onto the wall, the top one is lit with a single FL-36R on a sync cable and I dragged the shutter speed to let in the ambient light.
