Hey Mathieu, I'm a camera modification and optics technician. I absolutely love your content and how you portray infrared given how rarely it's shown online. I'm always excited to see you've posted a new video. Thank you for producing such niche, but widely appealing content.
thanks a lot Daniel !
This brings me back... I have accidentally discovered that floppy disk is a good IR pass filter some 20 years ago and used it to take my first IR photos with also amazing results. I am still using it in a modified webcam.
Hi Mathieu, I did this with an unexposed developed and thus black piece of slide film. Probably more easy to find than a floppy disk. Take at least one image with the lens cap on and shortest time and highest aperture value (or the camera body cap on) or develop a slide film without any picture taken. Use a medium format film or obove to have a larger sized piece.
Wow! This video title totally was a throwback for me. At one time I used a camera made my Sony called the Mavica. And, you actually did insert 3.5" floppies into the camera for image storage. Cool stuff!!
I will try to find a Mavica to use the other floppy disks i still have from Grandma
@@MathieuStern Yeah, now I also am going to see if we have any lying around at work. It might be even more difficult to find 3.5" floppies!! 🙂
@@MathieuStern put an anamorphic lens on a Mavica
@@MathieuStern or even better put an anamorphic with a floppy filter on the mavica that will be storaged on a floppy disc floppy^2
@@MathieuStern if you like the look of the pictures the mavica takes i recomend getting a flashpath adapter so it can use sony MS memory cards, the floppy drive mechanisms tend to wear out fast and are impossible to repair.
1:55 - "Красота - это ты", "Beauty - is you"
Hahaha)
I personally only used floppy to shoot an eclipse. That was... floppy! But results were awesome)
95 year old grandmother keeping floppies for sentimental reasons is the best thing i've heard all day ^_^
Man, I had stacks of them! Did my first projects in school with those. Soon after it was de 100mb zipdrive and on we went. And here I was thinking that taking photos through magnetic tapes of old cassettes was a crazy idea!
Thanks Mathieu, your content always keeps me inspired with photography as a medium. I appreciate your creativity when it comes to new ways of photographing
I appreciate that!
There definitely is a haze to the floppy look, but honestly still will give this a try! Awesome video! :D
Go for it!
Salut Mathieu! I must admit the results achieved with the floppy disc "filter" are pretty stunning. I wouldn't say they are better than those obtained with a pro filter, or the other way round. IMO it's simply different kind of [lo-fi] aesthetics.
Considering the rarity of floppy disks (you can still technically buy them new, but they are expensive, since you can't just buy one) it might actually be cheaper to go with an actual infrared filter, lol.
IKR
What a surprise!
Thanks for sharing!
To make things easier Haida filters has a rear camera lens adapter that you remove the three screws holding the back plastic of the lens and you put on a Haida filter holder and you can buy with it four graduated filters and also for night shots the Clear Night. There is also a template you can use to make your own filters out of materials like this floppy disk project. Also just for info if using a CPL on the front of a lens you have to use the 90 degree rule to prevent a center dark spot BUT if you use the Clear Night filter at the rear of a lens you get baby blue sky with no dark hump in the center, this is good for a pano making a bright sky darker all the way across every pano capture. I forgot to take the Clear Night filter out while doing a high noon scouting trip for a night milky way capture - accidents you learn from.

Man you are the inspiration for me to do photography. Your voice and narration… oh! Keep on creating videos.
Dang! That looks so cool!
You are so creative, great video!
Thank you so much!
This is tough . Great job
Grandma provides. Thanks for the new technique.
Trop bien ! Merci !
Floppy disk value just increased
Awesome as usual! I love these experiments and ways to try expensive photography techniques in cheap, hacking ways. I suppose it still requires doing the IR hack on the camera itself though!
Absolutely!
but this cheap filter will work on any full spectrum camera, even if you use a cheap one
@@MathieuStern Incredible, thanks!
stunning work
Thank you so much 😀
That is very fascinating
Interesting experience that I'll try for sure. It looks like a 590nm filter, but do you know the real value ?
i should see if my FD mavica can see IR by default, it would be very funny to put a floppy disk filter onto a camera that writes to floppy disks (although it now has a flash adapter in it, and i imagine most other FD mavica owners also keep a flash adapter in it full time, since only six pictures fit on a disk.)
omg the minidisc at 1:38 😂😂
Have you tried using the dark part of film that has been exposed the part with no photos onto the lens? A friend of mine also used it to covert there camera to IR
I didn't try yet, but I heard about it
That's still pretty cool!
omg I think is the best way for a catadioptrique lens filter
luckily i have a whole box of floppy disk
Super vidéo Mathieu!! Petite question, pourrais tu s'il te plaît m'indiquer d'où provient la musique à 3:20 ? Merci beaucoup 😀
Nice video as always!
Glad you enjoyed!
Such a cool experiment !!
I knew you would like this one
I used to use the end, undeveloped part of a film roll, before I had any filters.
🤣. Very funny. Pretty wild the filter is where,? The the red one. They sell that for different sensor size,,?
they sell it for many camera models
Hi mathieu do you think this would work with some black and whithe ir film ?
i wonder if different brands/types have different effects?
mamma mia .... the memories!
1:57 кто-то обрадовался увидев кириллицу?) Мне просто интересно сколько фотографов из СНГ смотрят Метью:)
не знаю, сколько меня смотрят, но все они могут принять участие.
Таких много, это очень милый момент!
Mathieu, do you think this could be used for IR film like Rollei Infrared?
sure, but you will need a longer exposure
I didn't think that would work at all!
dude all using an exacto knife for added style and drama, when I was pulling these things apart in highschool with my fingers haha.
I have loads at work. We used to use them for registers and stock lists in the school 🤣
Ever try try using gels?
Haha love that we modified the same lens, and released a video about it on the same day, at the same time :)
I guess we must be secret twins !
"красота - это ты")))
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
OMG! Thank Mathieu! I've got a question: At 3:22 what kind of glue you use to put the filter into the lens?
basic blu tack or equivalent
@@MathieuStern thanks! Good light!
I have floppy discs but they all have data on them. Can they still be used?
isnt normal filmroll working too? Chinese glasfilters on ebay 12 euro. Kolari IR Chrome still expensive 😔
amazing
Neat! I had no idea floppy storage medium could be used for that. Nice video as usual.
Glad I could help!
i liked the floppy disk better actually personally, it just had a softer, more relaxing vibe to it
Beauty is you. That's what is written on grand ma's laptop.
I bought a pre modified full spectrum Olympus EP2-L and a 750nm IR filter for the grand total of £120. Cheap price and the ability to use the ability to shoot without channel swapping.
Couldn't you get the same results on the floppy filter by bumping up the color saturation?
It`s so cute 1:58 - "Красота - это ты" (Beauty is you).
I heard you can also use an exposed film as an infrared filter.
Oooohhhh....
Now I am thinking to use a swirly lens with IR filter.
on the old woman's laptop it says красота это ты "beauty is you" in russian.
Maybe because it's not really my grandma :))
I've never seen someone using Dreaming Out Loud as a song for a RUclips Video Intro!
Those disks were 1.44MB (in theory, but in practice, less) on an IBM clone / Wintel box. But you could get 1.96MB from the on Amigas.
Oddly my dad being the tech hoarder that he was had kept some floppies around the house.
Me: looking at my old floppies.
watching you playing with the back of your lens is triggering severe OCD, but the results were rewarding
Interesting.. But the Disc is kinda Small.. have you thought about trying it with a 5,25 Disc? Bigger in Size.. you could use it probably as a Filter.
I shot a solar eclipse through such a filter from a floppy disk.
All nice and cool! But where is this beautiful botanical garden located? 😂
It's les Serres d' Auteuil in Paris, and it's free !
Cool! :)
Thanks! 😄
Just so you know, old floppy disks are still very much in demand for mostly old industrial equipment.
Because companies today do not even attempt to update the OS or control hardware, the factories, universities and such are stuck with 30 year old computers running multi million $ machines, and that is the only viable method of extracting data or reprogramming.
Even the US nuclear launch silos still rely on computers so old they still use 5,1/4 inch floppy disks.
thats depressing, and at the same time it means I found gold !! :))
@@MathieuStern On that note, maybe you should try VHS tape. It has the same properties but is much thinner. Maybe it will let in more light.
@@dgurevich1 Grandma !!!
Why not a 5.25?
Surprised to see so little flare
Come on man, parents had radio tape cassettes and compact discs, we had floppy in our youth years. But nice video thanks for the tip !🍻
Oh, 2 Megabytes! 😉
A little confused, does the floppy disco only work if your camera is already converted?
You can without a converted camera if you use a long exposure, which would require a tripod. This is because cameras that aren't converted still lets in a small amount of infrared light.
@@ianadams5 Thanks Ian! Appreciate it!
@@DynastyUK NP also remember that because of the long exposure, anything that moves will be blurry, especially things like foliage so if you're doing landscapes it's better to shoot on a bright sunny day that isn't windy.
Did you have chance to try with 5.25 disks?
And I have to ask, for astrophotography people use it to filter the IR but for normal photography why do we need it? I am asking out of curiosity, not trying to be a smart a$$.
Your wifes grandmother is awesome!
so was the camera actually modified?
Yes, modified to full spectrum
You swop channels in post?
Yes RGB channels in Photoshop, for this filter, but for IRchrome filter it's done directly IN camera
If you wanted to store the uncompressed raw images from a Sony A7III, you would need over 20 floppydisks per photo.
imagine going on a trip for 2 weeks to shoot 500 photos.
😱
I breaks my heart seeing how this floppy is brutally murdered😢
Floppy discs on Ebay are now $150 each! ;)
Not sure of the point of investing a lot of money for an IR-Modified camera only to try to save on the IR filter. I feel like you would get the same effect as the floppy if you put a mist filter on the front of the lens, if that was so-desired. Otherwise, you don't have to drive the saturation so hard in light room for the pro filter.
My dear friend! i just bought a floppy disk and trying to make something similar, but all my photos are all red only =/
did you watch the video ? you need to have a full spectrum modified camera for it to work.
unexposed but developed celluloid film could always work.
tes vraiment un mac ❤
Un PC ou un Mac ?
Floppy disc is not an IR bandpass filter. Its just project red color, thats all.
Wait, what 2 MB... checking references .. .. .. .. .. OK advertised, usually 1,44 !
OK now I can go back to watching the video.
Sad fact, I used several of these just a couple of months ago.
Working as a technician, It's a real problem when machines in the manufacturing industry live long lives, and it´s more or less impossible to upgrade the CNC systems.
Pity! I can send you millions of them! 😄
Im a photographer but only have one camera.
I wouldnt dare fiddle with my camera unless I had a spare backup.
The floppy isn't even a I/R pass filter, is an orange one that blocks I/R after 700nm...
and i thought you converted your Sony Alpha into a MAVICA by saving photos on a 2MB FLOPPY DISK (really, 1.44Mb formatted you schmucks.)
(pis le temps d'exposition en plus...)
It's a bit painful to watch for me, because I like Floppy Disks, and collect them, and I don't think they are made anymore, but, at least I am happy that they are at least being put to a good use, albeit not what they were intended for, but at least they're not being wasted. 🙂
I will not destroy any other ones :) don't worry
Don't all visible-light cameras have an infrared filter? It seems you really need a visible light filter. But if you can't remove the infrared filter, you'll just block all light.
about to cut up an old floppy disk to put in my sd quattro
You technically put is in front of your camera
Should have used another, older lens, that didn't have new coatings. You have hotspot on the photos because of this. Old lenses are the best for IR photography.
I didnt see any hotspots, but yes, older lenses are best
