This tutorial is the shit! Just got my IR filter and am excited to go shoot. This explains a lot, the photos are a much needed thing. And its current!

Thank you so much for this.

THANKYOU!!!!! SO MUCH! This has been so very helpful with the camera settings, I kept shooting with auto balance snd I could never get the channel mixer to work right in photoshop

Dominique87 In reply to Vlue [2010-03-06 07:21:47 +0000 UTC]

I had a quick go but its all over cast at the moment so no blue skies so hopefully it will clear up next week to take some photos might even head back to the botenical gardens to re-take the ones I took a couple of weeks ago which came out terriable and wouldnt convert in photoshop with the channel mixer.

Will keep you updated when I get some work done.

Thankyou again I was kinda lost about taking the IR photos properly with the camera

Thanks very much for the tutorial! I've been wanting to try my hand at IR photography, but most of the info I've found on the net has been very confusing. This is just the kind of "for beginners" info/tutorial that I've been looking for. It's very much appreciated!

Really interresting tutorial. i wonder if my D80 would be able to make those kind of results cause the last 4 pictures are amazing.

Thank you. Just try doing the TV Remote Test to see how sensitive your camera is to IR light.
