Unlock Hidden Worlds of Color
Experience Blue Trees and Authentic Aerochrome with False Color Converted Infrared Cameras
HiddenRealms.ch introduces a range of affordable CCD cameras modified for stunning, otherworldly infrared (IR) photography. Whether you’re aiming for the mesmerizing new Blue Trees effect or the iconic colors of Kodak Aerochrome, these cameras deliver great results with minimal to no post-processing.
At the heart lies a IR filter, installed directly in front of the sensor. This internal filter replaces the standard hot mirror with specialized glass, allowing both visible and specific bands of infrared light to pass through. Combined with external filters, photographers can produce vibrant and surreal IR color effects straight out of the camera. Thanks to the superior performance of CCD sensors, which handle the mix of visible and infrared light more effectively than CMOS sensors, you can now explore creative IR photography like never before.
Not only does this conversion enable the unseen Blue Trees effect, but it also allows you to recreate authentic Aerochrome photography, highly sought after by IR enthusiasts.
Why Choose Hidden Realms cameras?
- Instant, in-camera IR effects – New styles like Blue Trees, right from the camera with no need for post-processing.
- Authentic Aerochrome recreation – Achieve the classic look with ease.
- Recycled CCD cameras – Sustainable use of old cameras with superior CCD sensors.
- Affordable pricing – Professional IR conversions at fair prices.
- All options for IR photography – Achieve all known IR styles, from classic white foliage to super color effects.
