The G6 is a great little camera. Many have converted that model to IR only use. I don't use CS3, but I do have CS2 at home. Will look and see what it has next week. I find the RBG tuning in "monochrome" lab color to be very powerful. Anson

Hi Anson, I am using the Canon G6 for all my infrared shots.
Thank you for sharing the information. Much appreciated.
Have you tried the Black and White option in Photoshop CS3 maybe 2 (sorry can't remember), you could do everything you seem to be talking about here without the need to convert to lab colour. Give it a try I think you will find this easier. Gives you the biggest control over tonal range for black and white photography, it also contains some very helpful presets.

I forgot to mention that all of my IR postings here have one of two treatments done in PS, that none come straight from the camera. The sepia tone appearing ones with dark red or brown colorations have had only partial color reversals using the channel mixer in PS with about 30% desaturation, whereas the BW or monochrome ones have been toned using the monochrome setting in channel mixer and then converted to lab color, even though they are BW and then toned by dropping the red content and bringing up the green to almost 200. Hope this is helpful, Dan, and by the way, what Canon camera are you shooting? Anson

Thanks Anson, yes that makes perfect sense. I had already noticed that by looking at other posts of IR shots straight off the camera and the colour schemes are very different. I love the Colours of the 850nm filter, but I will have to wait until tomorrow so I can get enough sun light to expose it, and will post some next week

I see from your postings that you are using a "Canon" camera. Is it a 300D, 20D, or one of the smaller EVF models? If you look at the various websites that deal with IR compatible cameras, Canon doesn't offer much except for the 300 series cameras, such as the Xti, the Xs(?) etc. The colors you will see will depend on what the bandpass characteristics are of the "hot filter" within the camera. For example, the hot filter in my 20D is too good; I get very very little IR through it. Judging from your postings,and the multi-hued colors I see, you probably aren't using a 300 series camera. The filters you use will depend greatly on the camera hot filter spectral bandpass. Hope this makes some sense. Anson

Thanks for the Info Anson, much apreciated.
Out of Interest do you get much difference in the hues created by each filter.
I have a 720nm and 850nm.
The 720nm Creates Red and Orange skys and Grass and trees slight green or pinkish hues.
The 850 creates very purple/violet skys by default and bluey trees and grass

Only thing moving here this morning was the water flowing down the mountain, Dan. Very overcast so no pronounced "woods effect". Used the 89b filter instead of the 88a, so got a little more visual color to work with in balancing the tones of the monochrome. Sometimes that can be great fun. Regards, and keep up the good photography. Anson

Ooooh, Infrared shot. Lovely peaceful looking place. You did very well at 30 seconds for this shot, not too much movement.

Very peaceful and soul soothing, dear Julie, with only the sound of the cascading waters, tumbling over the rocks. Very damp and everything is green. Not much like downtown Manhattan. Hugs. Anson

So beautiful dear Anson. I love the range of tones here.
Did you also use a ND filter on this?
Hope you're having a wonderful time, it looks so peaceful out there.
Big hug,
Julie.
