...and a thank you to _my_reverie_ for reminding me about shooting infrared. I haven't shot any since two cameras ago.

Nice!

A lot of the effect you get from IR is simply from the ridiculously long exposures not normally possible in daylight. Have you played with ND400 filters and the like?

I have one nd filter but it's of minimal strength, really can't get the time-delay effects. I want a few nd's to have on hand for waterfalls on sunny days.

Good eye!

If you have an extra/spare camera, there are services that will remove the hot filter right on the sensor and will replace it with one that cuts visible light and lets IR come through. With that you get to see through the viewfinder and you have "regular" exposure times. Of course, you will not be able to use the camera for regular photos.

I just had it done myself and am quite pleased.

Yeah, I wish! I've looked at a couple sites that offer it, and also do-it-yourself tutorials. But I don't have a spare.

very nice! your shots are inspiring me to shoot infrared again, too. i just need to get out during the day sometime to do it.

many of the IR's I've been posting I shot on my lunchbreak. :)

[papayas.livejournal.com]

i don't have anywhere pretty nearby to walk to during my lunch break... plus, i like to spend that time eating. :)

i can understand how it's nice to get out, though.
