OOPs,

I did not see your IR section.
I’ll look at this.
Thanks for the resource.

Hi there,
Great post! I have a question though…

You mention that digital camera can be converted to IR? How does this work? Can you later turn it back to normal mode?

Thanks!

HI Rob,
That sounds way too long an exposure.

Ok, try this in full sun:
30 seconds, f4, 100ISO. Shoot in RAW and colour.

Then process the RAW by choosing one channel (probably either the red or green will have a good histogram) and use this to do a mono conversion. Then do levels. See how that works and let me know.

g’day i’m running a cannon 5dmk2, and just starting out with infrared.
i’ve read your the guru for this stuff if you can help i would appreciate it.
i start in b/w adjusted the white balance to custom and exposure for up to 3min.
i try to keep iso low but find i’m hovering around 800. still not getting those magic AWESOME shots i see.
