Quote: I started digital photography in Aug 2001 using a Fujifilm 6800 while on a trek to the K2 base camp in Pakistan . One year later I decided to get serious about learning d-photography, bought a Nikon Coolpix 5700 and sold the Fujifilm. I have since sold the 5700 for a D100 and now have a D2H as a second body.

WAHLAU!!!!!!!!! CAN I ROB U???

.......but but ...... i thought IR was simply to shoot a spectrum of light that we can't see and how we depict it is entirely up to us......... i also not sure thats why i post it here.

besides, IR is not the same as red. infact i don't know of any human beings who can see the IR range.

if you wanna befriend my d2h thats ok.
unfortunately its stuck to my right hand so it looks like i come along with it

Good first attempt at digital IR !

I prefers coloured to B&W IR photos myself. I can get coloured IR from my 10D but the exposure times required are very long as the 10D is not very sensitive to IR. Your D2H seems to be much more sensitive to IR judging from the exposure times needed for your IR pics. I can get handholdable exposures if I use my CoolPix 950 but they are less colourful. My IR attempts can be found at:

I tried to see if I can get coloured IR from one of your pics but the best I can do is this:



Hope you don't mind. It may be possible to get better coloured IR images if a custom white balance was carried out with the Hoya IR filter on and used to take the pics. That's how I got mine with the 10D anyway.

no i don't mind. on the contrary i appreciate it.
what did you do to bring out the colours

hey! tomcat Gong Xi Fa Cai to you too!(pygmy cups his left fist and bows his head)

custom white balance with IR filter on ........ great!! i will try it.

i will also check out your gallery later.

thanks a heap for sharing, cheers!

you are absolutely right bobafat.

so how do you feel i can improve my IR photos apart from getting the location right?
