Hi all :wave:

Any of you wonderful photographers tried Infrared photography? and with any decent shots to show or advice to give to a budding IR tog :)

Steve

PS The question may also be answered by the not so wonderful photographers :D
 
I've not tried it Steve. I've been thinking about maybe getting a cheap 300 or 350d from ebay, removing the IR from the sensor filter and maybe having a play.
 
Hi John

Sounds like a good plan :thumbs:I recently upgraded to the 50D and now have 30D redundant (ish) and plan on removing the IR cut filter and using it for both Astro and daytime IR with apt. filters :) I already have a Hoya R72 filter which is OK, but never really got into it as it only fits one lens which is not ideal :thinking:

There's some superb IR shots on the net and would love to give it a go :D

Having seen images shot with the IR Cut filter removed there's a heap load more astro stuff that can then be shot. I've also seen some wicker IR daytime stuff too.
 
I recently converted a Canon D60 to full-time IR and here is my take on that conversion:

1. I really wish I had a P&S converted to IR because I could easily slip it in my bag and have it with me everywhere. The D60 is a bit heavy.

2. If not a P&S conversion, I wish that I had converted a 350D or like camera. It would be smaller, lighter in weight and would also be able to accept EFS lenses which the D60 cannot do.

I have not done a lot of IR work, but I do like the results.
 
I have done a few. I found the Nikon d70 worked pretty well without any mods, I just used an 87 filter over the lens.
in work now so can't post an image. Wayne
 
Thanks everyone for the replies :thumbs: and some stunning shots :clap:
