Ghost Hunting Full Spectrum Modification

I've seen full spectrum cameras being used for quite some time, they pop up on shows such as Ghost Adventures and Most Haunted and though a lot of specialized paranormal stores do sell them you can actually make one yourself. By trade I'm a photographer so I have a lot of spare cameras. The weather here was terrible today so up for a bit of an adventure I thought I'd sacrifice one to the Gods of curiosity and see if I could pull it off. Sure enough it does work, the main thing I did was remove the cameras UV filter plate from the RGB sensor. the risks involved would be, shock from the cameras flash capacitor, damaging the sensor itself and depending on the type of camera you might damage the focus calibration.

It took about 40 to 50mins and in the end it worked perfectly. I've not used full spectrum before and I don't hunt ghosts per-say but given the price of some professionally modified cameras it might be worth trying if you were in the market for one and already had a cheap digital one you don't use any more :)

There are plenty of tutorials on youtube and the type of camera I modified was a fuji Finepix.

Yes modifying a digital is easy, how ever there are 2 filters cameras use to limit its range to human sight. I believe the one you removed on the finepix is the IR cut filter. I think it has a UV cut filter as a coating on the lens. Camera makers have to add a IR cut or milky images result. Also the focus calibration is done by separate IR sensor so is will not be affected by removal of the IR cut filter but extreme care must be taken to not touch the CCD image sensor.

Its lovely to see techy ladies on here Lisa :)
I might be going off the full drift of this conversation, but i love experimenting with lots of paranormal subjects and this is a pic of a useless pair of "Aura" glasses i bought months ago from a company on Ebay..When my eldest son saw me wearing them he thought i had finally gone completely mad :eek::D

I'll take techy as a compliment because the whole time I kept thinking.. don't break it, don't break it lol I've actually heard of the ebay ones before, How did they work out for you? The Northern Ireland Paranormal Team here built an aura camera before, it looked simple enough and how they used it got amazing results. They photographed a very well known British medium in the various stages of trance, in one of the final images she actually vanishes, she had previously said that when she goes into trance and takes the spirit energy in it like she feels she goes somewhere else completely. They still can't explain where she went, she should physically be in all of the photos :)

The Aura glasses were useless Lisa, they kept on giving me headaches lol :XD::D
 
Ah that's a shame but also that's ebay lol I've seen the aura a few times but each time I wasn't trying to see it. I'd been doing a lot astral and meditation work for well over a month and each time it was my boyfriends aura I saw. It was about 4 times maximum and each time was a darkish blue, he's rather easy to gage in terms or emotions (I wouldn't say brick wall lol, but he doesn't exactly have up's and down's) I think the reason I saw his so many times and no one else's is simply because his emotions and self are not very changeable or flighty. Perhaps with a lack of mood changes it was easier to pick up. :)
