California Foothills by David Nilsen
The foothills are a beautiful part of California that is often overlooked. In the past several months I’ve gone hiking in the foothills quite a bit and saw a transformation from a sea of yellow and dried out grasses to lush green rolling hills. But, infrared photography turns them into something completely different.

Imagining and then Making Paradise Visible: Wonders from Utah and the Role of Chaos by Luciano Demasi
Sometimes I think that what I have seen in Utah is unreal. Hidden valleys, flowers in the desert under the silent watch of the Milky Way, millions of years of planet’s geological history blended in a unique irreplaceable and delicate paradise: did I imagine this beautiful and overwhelming universe? Did everything I experienced actually take […]

The Nikon Z6 Disassembly and Teardown
Nearly two months ago, we dove into the Nikon Z7 and showed you what was happing inside all the way down to the sensor. Today, we did the same with the Z7’s standard resolution counterpart, the Nikon Z6. At 25 megapixels and just under $2000 MSRP, the Z6 is encroaching on the Sony A7 III’s […]
The Fujifilm X-T3 Infrared Photography Review
The Fujifilm X-T3 that we tore down last week is now a fully capable, full-spectrum camera. As we did with the Nikon Z7 and EOS R, we’ll be putting the X-T3 through our full set of infrared photography tests. We’ll test the X-T3 for user-friendliness with respect to IR photography, infrared color performance, sensor artifacts, light leaks, […]
The Fujifilm X-T3 Disassembly and Teardown
You might have thought the Fujifilm X-T series was finished with the release of the X-H1, that Fujifilm was digging into the competition and leaving their love of style behind as was evident with that monstrosity. (We mean that lovingly.) But, the X-T3 is here, and it’s as beautiful as ever. Not only that, but […]
The Canon EOS R Infrared Photography Review
Now that our Canon EOS R is back in one piece (see our EOS R Teardown article here), we can test its performance for infrared photography. Just like our last infrared photography review of the Nikon Z7, we’ll be testing for user-friendliness with respect to IR photography, infrared color performance, sensor artifacts, light leaks, hot spots, […]
The Unbiased Canon EOS R Disassembly and Teardown
The Canon EOS R was cause for some internal controversy here at Kolari Vision. After all, we’re in the middle of The Great Mirrorless Camera War. Tensions are bound to rise, turning brother against brother, camera tech against camera tech, and photographer against photographer. Despite this, I will do my best to describe the form factor and […]
