Two nice shots Nigel, but I think I would have got rid of the contrails.

Out of interest Nigel, do you use R72 filters or have you had the camera modified to IR - I have a set of R72 filters 72, 77 & 82mm. Not mine, but I had to use them for some ones weird idea in another branch of photography that I'm involved in. I must have a rummage and find them.

Thanks Kevin.

I did start out with an R72 filter but the long exposure times were a pain - on my old D30 which had the best sensitivity to IR - exposure times were typically 10-15 seconds at ISO400 and worse with later models. Also having to compose the image without the filter on made life awkward and the focus had to be set manually as IR doesn't quite focus at the same point...

One day a few years back I happened to be browsing through Ffordes website and came across an IR converted 1000D at a sensible price so I bought it on spec so to speak and the bug took hold. Hand-holdable exposure times and AF via the live view function were a revelation and a joy. Now I mostly use a converted 650D, also bought from Ffordes, (which I used for the two shots here) which has much faster AF in live view than the 1000D. Exposure times at ISO400 are usually in the 1/100 to 1/250th range depending on how sunny it is.

For anyone interested in IR I really would recommend a converted camera - it makes life so much easier...

This is exactly what I found, it was a right pain as far as I was concerned. I was using it for a camouflage and concealment thing. I did however have some rather interesting shots playing around for myself using it other than with mono. In fact some of the shots were used.
