Thank you very much for the info, Anson! I'll try it out. I use autofocus rarely but let's see how the Canon EOS 1000f does with IR.
Cheers,
Nick

Any film camera can IR film, assuming it doesn't leak light. Loading the film in the camera should be easy with the modern autoload cameras. When you put the very dark red IR filter on the camera some autofocussing systems work, some don't. All of the Canon cameras I have work, as well as the Fuji S9000. Try it, Nick, you will have fun with it. Anson

I use a Canon T90 and a Canon EOS 1000f, both of them film cameras. From what I read I see that the T90 can use IR film and there is a special metering for IR and also IR marks on the lenses for focusing when using IR film. Idon't know if this is possible with the EOS 1000f, but I am still reading.
Many thanks for the information. I have to try IR - very impressing!
Cheers,
Nick

The IR technique is great for landscapes, structures, aquatic environments, among others. I do only digital IR, and no, you can't do it with just any camera. Some contemporary cameras leak enough IR radiation through their "hot filter" which is just in front of the solid state sensor that they can be used without any modifications. Two of the cameras I use that fall into that category are the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Digital Rebel 300D. I use the Wratten 89B filter. Some color reversal work is needed in Photoshop, but almost anybody that does IR can tell you how to do that, including me. I love to explore the "envelope" of IR, and produce images that many would not classify as typical "false color" IR images. Give it a shot, Nick. What camera are you using now? Anson

Anson, I never used IR but the more I see, the more I want to try it out. Can it be used in any camera?

This little lake was constructed in a national forest, Pisgah, for the purposes of fishing, and is loaded with big fish. There was always a big wake of a fish swimming when I was taking this photo, but the long exposure kept them from showing. Glad you prefer this BW IR shot, which I normally don't display. Anson

Superb!
Especially the tremendous difference between light and darkness makes this photo an absolutely intriguing one!
Hat off to you!

An amazing image due to the reflection in the water and the use of infrared film. It adds such an intense mood that is both troubling and calm at the same time. Well done!
Best wishes,
Annemette

Thanks for the great comments Robert. I always seem to have soft images with the old Fuji camera by this Canon Rebel seems to be very sharp when I convert to BW. I am experimenting with ways to eliminate the need for clouds. You were very good at this in your Tree by Waterfall which had no clouds at all. Maybe water of the right luminosity will do as well. Regards. Anson

Hope you and your party are having a wonderful time.Re your images been soft,I think you shoot wide open most of the time and the area of sharpness is quite small hence soft images.You also must take into consideration that IR focus
differs from NON-IR ,you need the smaller f-stop to compensate for it.Most consumer lenses shooting wide open tends to be soft and don`t achieve sharpness until about f8 which is where I
genarally shoot or smaller.
The only time I shoot wide open is with the Dimage7 in color because of the hot spot if stopped down.With my b&w Dimage 7 images I used iso 400 and depending on the light 5.6 or higher becuse it is been hand held.
Keep them coming.
Have fun.
Robert

Glad you like it, Robert. Your evaluation means much to me. I have not tried softening the image outside of the camera. Until now I had the opposite problem; my images were too soft, I thought. This new camera has its own personality. Regards, Anson.

The variations in water tone come across better in the BW version, I think, Safak. Thanks for taking the time to stop and comment. Come again. Regards, Anson.

Glad you like it Michalis. One of the most remote lakes I have experienced, and the fish were rolling in the water, too. Anson

Top class IR image Anson,very good composition and for a landscape IR to have impact it must have clouds.The reflections add depth to this
beauty.
Have you ever tried softening your IR images,most of mine are.I find it gives that dreamy,mysterious mood but I don`t sharpen in camera.
