Hi Eric
Just joined UHH and quickly searched for IR posts. Glad I found yours! Here are a couple of mine taken when you could still purchase Kodak HIE film.

Yep I like them do not know how to do it, do you just need the RF lens or settings in the camera also?

Mr Cook,

Welcome aboard! Two very nice offerings. I tried IR film back in the day and I just remember it was complicated with bracketing exposures and then having to wait for the film to be developed.

Digital IR has much more instant gratification and I get to 'develop' my images myself.

Do you shoot digital IR too? If so I would like to see more of your work. If you only have film images, I would like to see more of those too.

You know you have the IR bug when you capture a few B&W IR images when you go out to shoot Fall Color.

CSF,

Look back through this thread, there are several posts that go over the basics of IR photography. You will need an IR filter and a camera that is sensitive to IR light.

I have only shot IR with film but would like to try digital. Currently have a Nikon D80 but sometime next year will move in that direction. I went back through your previous posts and saw where you recommended using Olympus C-2100 UZ. Also admiring your photos as well! Here are a couple more from my archives.

Love the courthouse and it is possible to get that 'grain' in the second shot with digital. Sometimes I get grain (noise) when I don't want it in the shot.

All of the Oly C-2XXX series are IR sensitive, the UZI is the best of the lot with a 10X IS zoom lens, and it takes pretty good visible light photos too. I've heard of folks picking up a C-2000 or C-2020 off of Craig's List for 20-30 bucks, with a SmartMedia card or two thrown in, heck of a deal.

I don't know how sensitive a D80 is to IR light. You may have to do the compose the photo, then attach the filter and play around with shutter speed to get the right exposure. I've heard of IR modded cameras (cameras altered to shoot IR only) going on ebay pretty cheap, less than the cost of the conversion ~ $300.00. Maybe you could pick up an IR modded Nikon body so you could use your current lenses.

Good luck with however you want to try digital IR, it is way easier than film.

The Culm Bank looks like classic IR, very well done.

The forum and the internet can be unpredictable at random intervals, don't know what happened; please try again.

Wow that shot of yours reveals show much intricacy. How long of an exposure was needed? I will try again to upload the after shot of "Culm Bank" Sorry but I'm not that computer savvy. It was a psd file and I think that would be reason?

That Culm Bank photo is a real looker, I like the inversion.

I captured that image with my Fuji IS-1, an IR dedicated camera (it came that way from the factory, it was not modded later).

On a recent trip to Atlanta I went out on the lawn of the BnB where we stayed and tried a few IR photos at night. Since I had my tripod I was able to take some longer exposures and came away with a few keepers. I had never tried night time IR before, I might have to do this more often...

I discovered it is better to keep the ISO down for less noise and extend the shutter speed for better looking photos. What the heck, I was using a tripod

Here's a few I've been practicing on. The hillside is just down the hill from my house, and the clouds were a little after 4pm yesterday from my front yard. Not a lot of green around this time of year, mostly dull brown, except the evergreens.
