Hi hweechwee, I must really thank you very very much! Firstly, for the guidance you provided and secondly for telling me the price of the filter. I went to one shop at Funan and was told by one staff that the filter cost $228. I went stiff on the spot. But remembering that you said it cost about $80, I went to another shop and got it for $88. Heng ah! Glad you like these pics too. IR photography is so fun!

Hi Clarence, thanks! Glad you like these pics. You know, before I got my IR filter, I read everything that is related to IR photography in clubsnap and see all the pics that the rest have posted. This place is filled with information and everyone here is so cool and willing to help! If you have not gone thru them (the IR related threads), my advice is, you should. You won't regret.

For the problem that you encountered, my guess is, it's because of the white balance. You can follow the below steps (by teerex).

"Setting CWB for Nikon D70
Procedure is the same for D50 and D70s

1. Camera set to "P" mode. Fit filter (R72) onto lens. Zoom to max, on the kit lens or any lens you may use. This ensures colour reference for CWB will fill up the frame.
2. Press WB button at back of camera and turn command dial to change WB to "PRE". View this on the top LCD.
3. Press and hold WB button at back of camera. You will notice "PRE" flashing at top LCD.
4. Point camera at a bright sunlit patch of grass, press shutter as in taking a shot. Make sure you fill the whole view frame with the patch of grass.
5. If CWB is recorded in the camera's buffer, "GOOD" will show at the top LCD.
6. You're done. CWB is set for IR shooting.
There is a timer in the camera when "PRE" stops flashing in step 3. Repeat the step again by pressing and holding the WB button to get "PRE" flashing again.
So everytime you want to shoot IR, just change your WB to PRE. Once set the CWB can be used indefinitely, unless you find the colors strange and want to reset it."
