For truly white IR photographs you need something like a 81A or B, visible light stops at around 740-750, the Hoya R72 will only block upto 720.

I'll call mine near infra-red then

Whether true or not, they give cool effects!

Heres one I took with my Sony V1 set to infrared mode. Pretty much with normal settings otherwise.

Interesting shot! Why the green tinge, I wonder. And is there a "infrared mode" on the Sonys? Or is that like the night shot mode?

Thats how it came from the camera, I only resized, I resisted the urge to remove the tinge. :/ The V1 has an nightshot mode just like the Sony camcorders.

They have a HIot IR filter in the sony, as well as an active IR emitter if it's the camcorder. The earlier ones didn't have the filter and had the nasty side effect of rendering certain materials as transparent in IR mode.

The V1 also has the active IR emitter, even in total darkness you can "see" using the camera..

When it's bright enough, the filter will block IR

My IR blocking filter is always on

It comes out with a reddish-purplish-pinkish tint, but I take the photographs with custom white balance.

Wonderful Image Adam, the best yet.
