Hi, If you have got a red image, most likely you have not done up on your custom white balance yet.

To do this, check out Max 2.8 Sticky instruction on White balance. IR Tutorial
CWB on different camera

You should get this colour as your output at the end of the day.

What you can do now with your reddish image is to create a B/W IR effect.
1) Desaturated your image
2) Adjust the Brightness/Contrast.

The easiest way...lookout for a IR-shoot outing. The people here will be glad to lent you a helping hand

Hi PandaOng, Hello to all interested in IR photography.

As PandaOng said (above). I think this is a very good idea !.

Say, I heard you are coming to SGP? Is it confirm? Hope it will not crush with my trip to Bangkok.
