Agree with you on evergreens Jake, and that shows well in your third image. Lots of vegetation appears to be as it would in IR.

Just read Peters post re IR and his 30D. So maybe this is his only option for now. I also re-read the link I posted re the 30D and IR and noticed the exposure times/aperture and ISO.

D2X is a no, no for IR due to its strong AA filter. I have dug out a B+W 091 red filter ( cut off probably about 600-650 ) so I will give that a go, and look at individual colour channels.
Not at all sure how to get rid of any one of the 3 channels in photoshop yet to get a B&W image from the result. Thats a call for a photoshop wizard.

Still I will have a go tomorrow as its a full sun day and the field of spuds over the fence should do fine for seeing the effect on foliage.
