Yes I’d love to see more of those too. I’ve tried some IR shots myself with limited success, and had issues with what’s known as a ‘hot spot’. Would like to try again with my L-series wide angle but the filter will probably cost a good chunk. Have some links on IR issues in one of my blog’s comments section (http://photoblog.twincityphotos.com/2008/05/angry-clouds/#comments).

I’d like to see more of this. I really enjoy this different “B&W” look. In fact, I’m toying with this idea myself.

I’ve done little research…(meaning not extensive) and have found that an R72 IR filter mounted on a particular lens of my DSLR will do the job. The filter isn’t cheap, but then, neither is this hobby. Apparantly, not all DSLR lenses are able to be used for IR photography, there’s a chart online somewhere about this.

I’m not too interested in carrying another camera body around for IR work.

Yes, more please. You’ve had these on the blog before with instructions but I never got around to trying this. Since I recently got a Canon G9 (great little camera) that has a night mode, I have to go do it. However, when you talk about filters, just what do you mean for a point-and-shoot?

Virgina -
Thanks for the comment, it is an odd look, but I like it.
