IR photography?

[cpenning623]

I'd like to get into IR photography, but I really dont know much about it. I have a D40x, so it DOES have an internal IR filter, but I read you can get decent results with long exposures with a decent IR filter. Here are a few questions:

If I get the internal IR filter removed, will regular pictures come out poorly?

Anyone have any IR shots they could share? Thanks in advance!!!




btw, I also heard that you can see through female's garments with an IR filter, but of course I would never do that anyway :hand:

Never heard of the seeing through clothes thing with IR.

Photoshop can do most things filters can do - I would take the image normally then treat it afterwards.

It was a big thing a few years ago. The clip is about video cameras, but it works with cameras, too.

Well, Im going to be buying a Hoya R72 and see what happens. I would use pshop, but I guess I'd like to learn how to do things without pshop-it begs the question: how far will we go with photoshop? If it can do everything, then there wont be anything more to photography, you know?

My company has one of those FLIR cameras for gas detection and I do not think that it is a wind up as that is a typical image with the camera.
At today's prices, for the colour version you will not get much change out of $100,000, ours cost roughly half that and I am very, very careful when using it.
