Love this article, I am just starting in IR photography so this has been a timely article for me read.

I am currently only doing IR conversions through PS (so not real IR, I know) and seriously considering a IR conversion of a well used Canon 5DmkI.

In the meantime I will keep looking and learning. I did come across this site http://digitalphotobuzz.com/awesome-digital-infrared-photography-images which may be of interest to you and your readers.

Say thank you for any fairly apparent and advantageous post. I’m undeniably a violator of a lot of these policies. I generally identify myself personally conflicted when composing a weblog put up because I see personally writing greater than many people would like to go through, but I come to feel that I really have to do the subject matter rights by thoroughly covering up it. I really feel that by subsequent a number of these principles I stop up lowering out essential aspects to your discussion. I guess you’ve got to uncover a stability.

@SusanG

Glad you liked – still surprised the post managed to make it onto the comments page, I thought I’d made a right arse of it.

Yep, just a simple channel swap (Blue/Red) in post with tweaking here and there to get the desired result. SOOC the images are pretty much mono pink.

You’ll get a half decent print from the IS-Pro (which is just an S5 with the IR blocking stuff cleaned away) the only issue is that they are on the way to being discontinued so there will likely be no long term repair or upgrade potential.

Shame really.

@Malc Those are very cool! I am that close to getting either the IS Pro or S5. I love Fuji’s sensor tech. Just concerned about the 6/6 MP in terms of printing. Still pretty clever how they honeycomb the receptors.

Did you manipulate the images for colour Post Pro?

Damn my skills in setting up links – images wont work either for some reason.

Oh well, if interested I have some cool IR shots in my Flickr stream in the LIGHT PLAY set using both the Fuji IS-1 and IS-Pro.

I don't know why I am unable to this with images so here is a reply without images! I have use of a couple of IR cameras from work and have dabbled a bit in this area... Cameras used are the Fuji IS-1 and IS-Pro (the pro was used for all but the second image listed above) It's all fun experimentation! Malc
