Infrared filters

[VectorZ]

I did a bit of searching but didn't turn up a whole lot of posts about IR filters. I just ordered this one Amazon.com: Hoya 77mm R-72 Infrared Filter: Camera & Photo

Any of you doing much IR photography? Any pics, lens or camera settings you'd like to share?

I'm not an expert on IR but don't you have to monkey with your sensor to take IR photos?

I'm not an expert either, but from reading it appears you can capture the IR spectrum, you just have to have a longer exposure, 5 seconds or more. I do a lot of long exposures so it won't be an issue.

This was with a filter only, not a sensor conversion correct? What kind of setting are you using?

Nice, which lens are you using? Seems like any prime doesn't work well.

Got mine today, it's rainy and windy so I won't be able to test it out for a few days. Looking forward to playing with it though.
