Very nice!
Do you know where to get the cheapest IR filter? I need a 72mm...

Awesome shots...are you using IR filter or mod'ed cam? I'm using filters and can't seem to get it right...lol...

From the looks of the water, I'm guessing it's a modded cam. Using filters usually get creamy water texture.

Spot on. I'm using Canon 20D modded camera. Webitech, I feel that using filter you have to get the wb perfect and very bright sunlight but with modded camera , you can get away with abit of shades and do a little bit more pp. Bluetears2000, you can get 72mm filter at buy & sell section, keeps on popping up every now and then, keep a look out. Should be around $70 - $100.

I think creamy water texture is possible with modded camera, you need to have ND filter on it. But I've yet to try it.

The camera was calibrated with 50mm lens and I'm using 10-22 and 24-105 for most of the shots hence the OOF. I'm still trying to get use to focusing with this camera. Maybe should do MF .

The photos give me the creeps. I feel I'm looking at photos from the Hades, esp #4.

I stay so near Chinese Garden but have yet to find time to do some IR photography there. Too many projects, tutorials and events. @@
