I've had a Hoya 72 filter laying around for months now and figured today I would learn how to use it. I know I'll not reach the level of Judi anytime soon, but I thought these were ok for the half hour I spent out at the lake today. It was windy so everything is blurrier than I would have liked. And I found that if I go over f/5.6 then I have a hot spot show up in the middle of my 18-55mm kit lens. I have a lot to learn still to refine this technique, and any tips or pointers any of you may have will be appreciated. Thanks

There's a lot of info out there about what lenses work well for IR... This site has some short reviews of Nikon lenses, including ratings for UV and IR photography on most of them for those interested. Things like "this lens has a hot spot" are noted.

I wished I would have raised my iso up to 400 instead of the longer shutter speed. Oh well, I'll try again Wednesday when it's nicer outside and I don't have a heat stroke.
