With Canon G1m:



Looks cold? It was taken early summer.

Looks VERY familiar! I don't know/remember where I've seen this before! Have you posted it before? or is that a popular IR subject?
I love IR pics! If only I could take IR pics with my 300D without modifying

[Irma]

This is really beautiful! Love the trees they are very detailed but at the same time so soft... I don't know how to explain but they are great! The grass in the foreground is also very interesting, I like it. Lovely picture

[Don Schaeffer]

This is lovely. Very expressive. I like the way you composed it.

Awesome shot Mitch. I believe you have shot this gazebo before, just not this perspective. Am I right?
Adam, are you absolutely sure about that? I thought all you needed was a hoya IR filter. I know Mitches hot mirror has been removed in his Gi for IR but I never heard of a conversion being needed for the DRebel.

[adam]

I'm quite sure that it can't be done on the 300D,
it's one of the first things I tried when I got my 300D (of course, after playing with the other modes).

I've come across a conversion here: http://ghonis2.ho8.com/rebelmodnew.html
I'm too scared to try it

Infrared pictures are so yummy.
I like the trees that turn white, the sky that goes black, and infra-red people! they are so nice

I like this picture you took slejhamer, and the simple white line/black border

Great picture. I used to love taking IR with my Fuji.

Great photo Mitch! Love the IR stuff!

Hey Craig, which Fuji model are you using to take IR? I seem to recall that my S5000 can't be used with IR filters...

[EnglishBob]

I was using a 3800... it wasn't real great, needed 3 second exposure.

Thanks for the comments. Peto is right; I've shot this gazebo in infrared many times and there are a few images in my pbase gallery. Don't think I've posted this one before, since I just did the processing this weekend.

My understanding is that the D-Reb will shoot IR with certain lenses, but you need long exposure, a focus adjustment, a hope and a prayer because you can't see through the viewfinder with the dark IR lens attached ... basically, it doesn't sound like fun. The G1 was easy to shoot IR with, made even easier when I had it modified. Now I get hand-holdable shutter speeds and can shoot IR without a tripod!

[shuttertalk]

"modified"?

[slejhamer]

Q:

"modified"?

A:

Mitches hot mirror has been removed

[shuttertalk]

Still lost, but I googled for hot mirror and IR and now I'm on the same page...

Silicon-based (CCD and CMOS) image sensors are equally sensitive to visible and NIR wavelengths out to about 1200 nm. To fashion a peak sensitivity in the visible band and to minimize IR contamination of visible light images, most if not all digital camera manufacturers cover their silicon sensors with an internal IR cut filter (IIRCF).

From http://dpfwiw.com/ir.htm

[Cailean]

So, if I am understanding correctly, any camera can use an IR filter, it's just that some require super long exposures depending on whether there's a hot mirror?

EDIT: I suppose I should have read the article ST linked before asking a question!! Great link, btw, I think I'll get out my TV remote and give it a whirl!
