Hi all, i'm looking to get into IR photography and have a couple of questions.
1.) Is this a good time of year for IR? I mostly shoot landscape type shots and have heard that there needs to be a lot of sun out, i'm also using a D80 and so would require super long exposures?
2.) I would ideally like to use the filter on my sigma 10-20mm and would need a 77mm filter, which can be expensive.
So the next q is, the kood r72's are much cheaper than the hoya equivelant ones, are they as good? Would it be a good starting point? What are peoples thoughts on them?
3.) could I get away with a smaller sized filter stuck to a 77mm UV filter with bluetack around the edge? Due to the crop factor on the nikon?
4.) any tips, or tutorials?
Thanks in advance
