			Hey ho Duncan, just wish I had found this thread when I started out. Impetuous me. No thought about how the image would be recorded and then how to get it to B&W, although I did know from one of Sassan's pics that channel mixing was involved.  
		
		
		
			    ![]() I am a bit of a numpty in CS so the Persimon pic was mainly done in NX2. As some info in that direction may be useful to Andy when he gets his camera, I have done a series of screen grabs of the route I took in NX2. Attached is a set of 5 screen grabs. Don  |

			Being generally pretty poor at processing in Photoshop I found this link which is a step by step job in Photoshop Elements 3. Click next at top right to follow the sequence.

			I've been swinging back and forth over IR, today I almost took my 30D in to ACS to get it converted but when I spoke to them they told me it was ~5 week turn around! As I can't get it done quick I think I'll wait for a while and play with filters some more.

			Peter, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Start off with filters. We know from a link I posted in the other thread that the 30D is OK. The downside of filters is the exposure time, but it is a cheaper entry into the world of IR, and you still have the 30D for normal stuff until you become more committed to it and then have a conversion. Seems I just missed you at Norfolk Camera Centre today. Don PS : I got another Cokin to do a mod on my Metz 45 flash. When done I will post a pic. Last edited by Don Hoey; 21-05-09 at 15:47.  |

			well after pondering IR for ages and spent some time playing with a converted G5 compact I finally took the plunge today and got an IR converted DSLR. Attahced is one of my first test snaps with it, hopefully I'll get the chance to give it a good go later in the week.

			Funky stuff Pete!  Love the effect.  Nice snow scene, of sorts, the post-processing suits the scene well.

			There's always the old-fashioned way, with Ilford SFX 200 and an r72 filter - gives very good results -  in fact this thread has inspired me to get some! It's a little pricey at 7 quid a roll but then it is a specialist product.

			When it comes to digital IR phorography, I'd use a proper infrared filter for my lens so you don't have to do any post processing later on.

			For the benefit of John, and others, this is what a digital image looks like with an IR72 filter and no post-processing.
