Hi Miguel,
Sorry for taking so long to get back with you. They have pretty much quit making cameras that are IR sensitive, but I do remember reading a review of a new that is supposed to be infrared capaable - I just couldn't remember the name of it so I did some research. It's the Fujifilm FinePix IS-1, IR sensitive camera. There is preview of it at dpreview.com. If you can find a used one the Sony F717 was supposed to be excellent at IR. The one I have, the Sony F828 requres the use of ND filters to help control exposure. Kind of a pain but it works quite well. I had a company fully convert mine to IR so I don't have to do that anymore. A little expensive, but worth it to me. The company is maxmax.com and they sell cameras they've already converted also. Hope this helps, let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Hello David, thanks a lot for you advice.
Sorry for being so amateur, but the infrared shooting is it a mode of the camera, or is it a lens? an Objective?
I own a Canon Rebel XT, what do you recomend me?
Thanks for your help,
Miguel Torres

Hi David
Very nice Ir work so far.
Re channel...Just look at the color of the hotspot
and see which color it is close to either Red,Green or Blue or try each color channel to see which one works better.You can try 'Color Balance' filter too.I wish I know a lot of PS
but I don`t.There are Ir color workflows on the
web specifically for the F828,it have a different colors than other cameras so my workflow wouldn`t bring out the best image that you can get.
F828 is a fantastic Ir camera,never heard of a hotspot though.
If you need any further help,just ask.
Take care
Robbie

Thanks so much for your informative critique Robert. You must know quite a bit more about PS than I do. How do you determine which channel the hot spot is in? Thaanks.

Awesome image David,beautiful tones and the softening helps a lot.
Is that a hotspot I am seeing? If so might try a levels adjustment in the color channel pertaining the color of the hotspot[works in my Dimage7]or color balance filter BUT stay away from 'RED' and 'Magenta'.
For really black sky try 'Exposure' filter in CS2 or CS3.
Take care
Robbie

Hi Miguel, If you buy a polarizing filter for your lens and then convert the image to black and white by adjusting the levels, you will get a very dark sky as well (and big puffy white clouds).
Shooting infrared REALLY brings it out tho, as David illustrates so very well in this image.
David - beautiful shot my friend.

Thanks Rick. I didn't put it in the description, but I was wondering how people felt about adding the yellow.

Hi Miguel. The main thing I do is shoot in infrared - not software conversion, but in camera infrared. I shoot with a Sony DSC-F828 and the skies come out naturally dark if I exposed properly. Ocassionally I'll do a levels or curves adjustment to darken them even more. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comments!
