[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 284913, member: 9240"] IR is a lot of fun. Just realize that with IR filters you are going to need a tripod as the camera you have has a filter in the stack to remove a good chunk of the IR light, so when you stick the filter to remove the visible light in front then you're going to need longer exposure times in order to allow sufficient light into the camera to get a proper image. With a converted camera they remove the IR filtration from the stack and insert a visible light filter. Or, you can go dual spectrum in which case they do not insert the visible light filter and allow you to place either a visible light filter (allowing you to choose varying wavelengths for different IR effects)[I] or[/I] an IR filter which lets you use the converted camera as before, to take photos with normal light. This is a little more expensive since you have to buy separate filters, but it allows the most flexibility. [/QUOTE]
