[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 431704, member: 8330"] No worries Bill. The conversion allows your camera to take pics of the Infrared spectrum. You can also achieve this with filters opposed to getting your camera converted for IR, like I did. The filters range in price from $15 to more than $100. I believe when you use an IR filter that you have to achieve focus prior to using the filter. You might even have to play with the exposure settings (not really sure). My camera conversion cost me about $280 through KolariVision. Also, there are different types of filters. Mine is a 590nm which allows more visible light to help me achieve more colors. If you read KolarVision or LifePixel, they cover all the different filters in depth and with much more information than I can provide. My photos are taken during the daytime and require a bit of post processing. BackDoorHippie has some excellent videos on some of the necessary steps in PP to get what you're looking for. It's a pretty fun little field to get into. And not a bad idea if you have an older camera laying around. I have to admit the PP has been a challenge. I think I did a pretty good job with the photos I processed above but for the life of me I haven't been able to reproduce the same results with other photos. I'm basically going back over my whole process to see what I'm missing.
