There is a small group of us here at DPC who love IR photography, so it would be nice to get together and share some shots and different PP techniques.  krnodil and I were talking about a possible IR side challenge for this September. We could do a 30 day challenge where you can post as many or as few of your shots during the month as you like, B&W or False Color, landscape or portrait(yes they are kind of cool) it doesn't matter as long as it's IR related. Post up if your interested and I'll add a list of names if we get a hand full. I'll try to PM this link to some of the known IR shooters out there. Trevor~
List so far:

krnodil
kudzu

Ann I put you on the list hoping you will be able to join with your new IR Camera!

that sounds like fun...
though, i thought i'd do the self portrait side challenge, and that didn't turn out so well this month.
i don't think i've snapped a single picture yet in august. agggh!

| kinda redundant to say "I'm in" at this point, I guess, but I console myself that my post at least functions as a BUMP. :) |

I'm in... had surgery yesterday on my dominant wrist...so the smaller camera I use for IR would be nice to shoot with right now.

I'd love too, but my D100 died and I sold my d70, so I'm not sure if the d300 and d60 are worthy. I haven't had time to test, but according to published reports the filter pack cuts off too much infrared. I would imagine they would work, but would probably require 10 second or longer exposures.

| I have updated the list so far. Hyperfocal, feel free to give it a whirl on those cameras and post if you like. I kind of signed you up Karen, hope you didn't mind:) A few more would be great! |

I'll do it if someone would kindly explain to me how to change the white balance while using the Hoya filter lol. Judi's got a tutorial where she's able to change it so that there's less red in the photos but I just cannot get that to happen.
Sounds like a fun challenge! |

The way i do it is to set a custom white balance with the IR filter on against sunlit grass or blue sky. This works on a nikon D50. |

I will give it a go. I can't promise that my work schedule will let me do it everyday...but I will try.

I'll see if I can get my D70 converted in time...
You might want to PM JeffryZ. He hasn't been very active lately, but he does some darn fine IR work. |

| I think - correct me if I'm wrong, Trevor - what we have in mind is infrared shots achieved via either converted-to-IR camera or the use of IR lens filters. Usually IR shots do take a decent amount of post-processing to get it into acceptable shape. But taking an ordinary photo and then using Photoshop or similar to make it look like infrared isn't what we're going for. |

My Sony F717 has a native IR mode. To shoot IR in daylight I do have to use an IR filter. (Sony opens the aperature all the way in IR mode to foil the creeps.)

I loved my Sony F717...but now have the F707. works the same way...put in nightvision mode, put on the hoya filter...and snap away..sometimes use a ND 4 or ND 8 just to help out if too bright outside. swap channels/add a gass-blur about 1-3% and flatten. Gives nice false color to the images...

| I updated the list and If I'm missing someone let me know. As for the Faux IR created in PS or other editing software I agree with krnodil that we would prefer to stick to pics taken with an IR filter or converted camera. |
