next quezstion...when using the IR filter...which mode should i use to get the effect like wat u did...'making the trees stand out green'?

Seems like lotsa ppl wanna take ir because of the "green"!
This is my reply to Lennier regarding IR stuff:
To check if ur DC is sensitive to IR, check out this link:

The ir filter i'm using is HOYA R72 Near-Infrared. It's about $25+ and u have to order as most shops don't stock-up.
Now, the colours... I'm sorry to say that not all DCs can do that. The Olympus C700UZ has a function "one-touch white balance" that when activated, will snap a pic and calculate the correct wb. Somehow (I'm not sure what's the logic) when fitted with the ir filter, the one touch wb will allow the greens on plants to show...
For post process, I usually do auto-level, contrast, hue and saturation.
Hope the above helps
