Infra-red

[Steve Cz]

Today I took delivery of a new toy, a Hoya R72 filter, which I just had to get after discovering that my *ist DL will pick up Infra-red. Had a play around today with variable degree of success. Are there any sites which members would recommend for advice/instruction on Infra-red photography?
Thanks

As a fellow Pentaxian (*ist DS and now K10D) and fan of IR, I've used the DS with the Hoya R72, I can give the following links:

Should be enough to keep you going for a while.
