I have taken the plunge and am ready to try infared photography. I had a Sony ILC worked on for this purpose. Question is where do I start exposure wise? Iso? Any thoughts?
ISO 100, f8 and shutter speed 1/125 on a sunny day.
Look at tutorials on Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com. Begin on a sunny day take a custom white balance on green grass. Use you light meter and histogram for exposure. Include sky,clouds,stone wood ,water in your compositions. Have fun,I love infrared.

I have to set a custom white balance on my D70, and then the exposure meter sets the exposure.
Similar to anything else. You had a camera worked . What does that mean? You have to give more detailed information to get good answers.

That's what I did when I had my D70s...

Likely they mean they had the camera converted to IR.
Be sure you have correctly set the White Balance. Usually, it must be done on the Custom setting using bright green foliage as the target.
Brings to mind a quick question, on a converted camera, does one still have to do a color channel swap between the red & blue channels in post ? It's been a long time since I dabbled in IR.

Yes..... one does still have to do channel swap.

Thanks for that. I never had my D70s converted. I just used a Hoya R72 IR pass filter for my images...
I thought it was Infrared.

...I *did* have my D70s done, in 720 nm, which is the more black and white range. Have had so much fun with it that when I picked-up my D500, I then did my D300 in 580nm "Super Color" and am now in hog heaven for IR. Lot of work, tho...
My thought process is why not covert a zoom range point-n-shoot rather than a DSLR.
Easier to carry, no focus issues, etc. May end up using it more.
