Now that I think about it, I am not sure my Canon D10 can handle IR photography. Guess I need to investigate further.

They generally say if you point a TV remote at your camera lens and press a button on the remote. And if you can see a red light from the remote when u look through the camera then your camera is able to be used as IR. With that been said I have tried that and didn't see the red light but still tried the IR with the filter and with long shutter speeds I was able to take IR images.

Most of my issues to date were caused by lenses. The kit lens has a very distinct (severe, even) hotspot in the direct center of the image. Until recently I didn't have a lens that was really appropriate to work with.

The long shutter times are irritating, but overcomeable. I plan to pick up an old Rebel or similar and send if off to have the IR-mask removed to do handheld. IR has always been a big interest of mine...

well i'll stick to using IR film if the desire arises to shoot some - meter doesn't work on that camera though - so it will still be interesting. unless it won't work either of course - no filters that i can remember - so i figure it will. canon AL-1 - FD mount.

A HA - i thought the length of exposure time needed to use one of the lens mount filters was more of a hassel than it was worth.

having the filter removed allows you to hand hold IR. doign it the way mentioned above requires nothing to be done to the camera.

it sure can be. if you are out just taking photos and decide that something would look good in IR then it can be a pain in the ass to set it up and take it especially since you can't meter and have to trial and error.

For a MUCH cheaper (albeit less effective) filter you can develop unexposed film and then place the negative over the lens.

This might be a stupid question but, what does infrared mean? Is that the same thing as making a negative of a photo?

Must depend on the size.. I got mine at a camera shop for $72. B&H has it for $47 right now...

Infrared is a low-frequency type of light. Not visible to the naked eye. Certain types of film, and digital cameras, can detect it and represent it in a photo. It's _somewhat_ keyed to heat. (Hot objects put out a lot of IR light.)

It has great effects outdoors. Green foliage tends to turn white because it absorbs a lot of IR, the sky goes dark because there's none visible, etc.

This is a good site for IR

beautiful work Judi and the others posted. I have been dying to do some IR photography but just can't seem to justify the filter...hopefully soon.

p.s. looking forward to the tutorial Judi

Unfortunately, by using a film camera and IR film, you are not able to enter any of these photos into contests at DPC. I do not want to do that often, but I would like to leave that opportunity open.

Only so this does not confuse anyone new or reading about it.
This is a true statement, but not concerning IR photography that is being discussed. there is IR photography for heat, but that is all different equipment. And, yes, hot objects give off IR light.
But shooting with a digital camera and a IR filter has nothing to do with heat.

So can you shoot IR with a Canon 10d? I priced a 77mm IR filter but it was over $200........

Not entirely true. Take an IR photo of a hot stove element (before it starts to glow)...

I admit this would be a neat thing to find out about.

It's not an _impressive_ sight, but it's interesting nonetheless...

Shot in the dark, just at the point where I could barely see any hinting of orange on the unit. (e.g. a touch over 'Medium')

30 seconds, ISO 400, f1.8

Pretty interesting. Considering that IR is just before visible light in wavelengths.
Still...MOST IR photography has nothing to do with heat (except Jay's photo). :)

can I ask a question without hijacking this thread?

I think I am going to get a IR filter this month, problem is I have the wide angle lens that is 52mm and the tele (150mm) that is 58mm.

So should I just get the filter for one and only use it on that lens or get a step-down ring so I can use it on both?

I have thought of getting a step-UP ring since I have a 52mm CP filter that I love but can't use on tele but someone mentioned vinegretting.

Does anyone think I'd use it on one more than the other? I was thinking more on the wide but then started wondering about it.

Any help is very much appreciated.
