hi, ur pictures are beautiful. i am trying to get into IR photography but i am inexperienced. is it true that canon does take good IR pictures? i was thinking of getting the canon G9, this is not an DLSR and it is canon. how much do you think this would affect my pictures?

I think the G9 is suppose to be good for IR, but since it's new... I would rather see photos other users uploaded and then decide.
the canon DSLR cameras aren't good for IR.

Really stunning! I think this is my favorited of your infrared shots so far. The water looks really dark and beatiful and I love the contrasting pinkness to the trees.
One thing I want to learn properly is selecting the trees and water seperatly to enhance my shots as they get better, do you have any tips?

Thanks Rachel, I'm glad you liked it
if you wish to enhance each subject separetly then I simplesest answer is photoshop
also, try using a polarizer filter - it should give good results.

I do love photoshop, but I think I need to spend a little more time learning new things. (Its actually one of my new years resolutions!)
Do you use a polarising filter at the same time as your infrared? I do have a circular polariser but to be honest havent used it as much as I should. Ive used my IR filter a few times but still need some practise as Im not getting the quality of results Id like. Im not sure wether its a camera thing, or wether Ive picked the wrong days so far weather / conditions wise.

I don't use polarizer with IR filter since the IR is also polarizing. but I do use sometimes ND8 filter with the IR.
you sould pick good weather and conditions. what camera do you use?

Ah thats interesting that you use an ND filter with your infrared filter.
I use a canon EOS 300D which I read was awful/didnt work for infrared but I updated the firmware on the camera which gave it 20D features and it works. Ive got a Hoya R72 infared filter. Its very cold and a bit windy here at the moment and not too bright usually so I wasnt sure if the conditions very good at all. Is an ideal day a calm and very sunny day?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well... first of all, the 300D isn't a good IR camera because of its sensor and IR blocking filter (the firmware doesn't matter)
the conditions should be sunny day with warm weather and some white clouds.

The infrared does work but I wouldnt know about hoe well really as Ive never used another camera for it. Ive got a sony cybershot dcs f717 which is supposed to be good but havent tried it yet as prefer to use my SLR. Ive only recently found out and started trying infrared so conditions have been dull etc, Im looking forward to experimenting in the summer!
I noticed you use a nikon, I have read that they are the best for infrared at the moment. I wish Id gotten interested in IR and knew this before I chose my camera!
Here are my first two attempts in my scraps

The sony is suppose to be great for it. much much better than the 300D
yeah, the Nikon is pretty good for IR
your two shots are an example to the inability of the 300D to shoot IR, I have seen this before.
my advice - keep the 300D for every day shooting and embrace the Sony 717 for IR.

Thanks, I think I'll try it out and see if I can see the differrence. Because Ive only had a go a couple of times and weather conditions havent been good, all I can see is that. I wouldnt think it was the camera, just my not yet polished skills and crap weather
Im asuming the sensor does allow IR now but not well, as Ive had to use very long shutter release, but then as I said conditions were dull.
I have seen good shots on the internet taken with a 300d

alright then... we'll see some photos of yours when the weather gets better. with the 300D and the 717

The comparison will be interesting no doubt!

Infrared makes for such spectacular images... This is great! How do you have to adjust f-stops and exposure to shoot infrared?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well I use M mode and set it according to the light meter and add +2/3 and correct accordingly.
Thanks
