Thanks so much for the tips Tomcat. I'll bear those in mind next time. BTW, the lens I'm using is the 18-55mm bundled lens that came with the EOS 300D Thanks again for the help :D TM

Can't seem to load the pics. Maybe yr album is set to private?

Tomcat, I shot the pic in RAW, but with Auto White Balance. It cast a reddish hue, and the sky was quite dark. This time I tried Autolevels in PS and the pic turned out much better, with that surreal effect. However, the sky still remained dark, almost black. Can't get it to look bluish...

ok. posted up the original pics. My original pics get a reddish hue. I tried swapping channel, but all it does is change hue. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Could you can do something with them :)

tomcat, you mentioned in an earlier thread that, in order to get colours into yr IR shots, you jave to play around with the channel mixer i.e. swap red to blue and vice versa I've tried that, however, the pic just changes hue. I can't just get the sky to be blue Any tips?

hehe :) ok here are 2 that i shot Hafta go to my photo site, I cannot link direct http://photos.yahoo.com/tmndeb Under the "IR Photos" Folder

Thanks tomcat. I'm more encouraged after hearing this. Especially when I heard that my 3 week old 300D is not sensitive to IR Will try it out and let you know the results!

Sheesh, my first foray into IR effects was a complete disaster! Went to Botanical Gardens to take some pics at about 530pm, but I guess I was too late to catch much light, so the pics all came out PITCH BLACK Guess I don't really understand how to SEE in IR. If I'm not wrong, the filter...

So for P&S cameras, is there a need to put on an IR filter? Or just take the shot, then manipulate the image in post processing?

Thanks Tomcat. So after shooting, is there any post processing to be done? Do I have to change it to B&W for it to have that effect?

Hi I'm new to this forum, and was not sure if this subject was discussed before. Basically I'm curious to find out if anyone knows how to create that Infra-Red (IR) effect using Digital SLR? Is there any setting that we can use organic to the camera? Or issit a post-processing effect? Any...
