Awesome!! You know how much I love IR images...and there are so many different forms of IR that people don't explore...but should.

I am going to leave comments shortly for you.

Philup...is there any chance you can add your camera settings to those images.

Great shots. Now, I have a question for anybody who wants to answer. How the heck do you get consistent results? I try to pay attention to the curve dialog on my camera during shooting, but I honestly don't know which photos are turning out the best, and how to "properly" expose my shots to get the best consistent results. I have the same filter, but use my Nikon D70s. Any ideas on how to properly expose them for consistent results during pp?

And generally anyone who posts their photos doesn't include any shooting information, such as exposure, lens used, etc. Why not? I would like to really see the difference between a normal shot and an IR shot, and what the exposure differences were.

I kinda have a follw-up question and I'm sure it has been addressed in the past, but Im to lazy to search..
Why do most people use older point and shoots for IR rather than newer DSLR's are some camera's just not capable of IR, is there some sorta list, or anything in particular that determines which cams can use IR filters effectivly?

There have been many posts about this subject, but I'm also too lazy to search them out for you. But, to sum up what I have read in the past, the older digital cameras did not have a filter built in to them to reduce the IR light coming in to the camera. The newer cameras do. So you can take an IR photo with a hand held camera with a normal exposure time of 1/60 or 1/250 or anything. The newer cameras need several stops more on the IR because of this built-in filter. The exposure is generally several seconds instead. That is why I am having trouble with it. And of course, with this longer exposure, a lot more noise is introduced in the image.

Any reason why newer cams have a built in IR filter?

I hope this will answer your questions. I did some research on the web:

Life Pixel

Digital imaging sensors in most cases are just as sensitive to infrared light as to visible light. Camera manufacturers stop infrared light from contaminating the images by placing a hot mirror filter in front of the sensor which effectively blocks the infrared part of the spectrum while still allowing the visible light to pass.

//dpfwiw.com/ir.htm This site should answer any questions you have.

I will go back through my pictures and put the settings on them.
