Anyone have any experience shooting on either IR film or with digital IR?
I shot a single lot of 35mm IR film a few years back and it was great, creates a stunning effect but it was a complete pain in the arse to get the photos in focus and to get the exposure correct so I'm considering buying a new Nikon camera and paying someone to remove the filter on the sensor with one that blocks out visible light, so that I'll have a camera to shoot pure IR.

Good idea? Am I crazy/stupid? We'll see, I might have to offer it to myself as a 21st birthday present.

Anyway, here's some incredibly low res scans of some of those photos I shot a while back.

Those are B&W, not IR.

I beg to differ This is different than B&W. They are both very similar. The infra red we have these days has colors. lol. I guess this is B&W infra red

Anyway.... some of the pics are hard to see but the first one is the best imo.

Me too!

A very good Flickr friend of mine shoots nothing but IR Photography. He's had some of his work published.
This is IR to me:

You're really high maintenance there bud, lol. That looks like HDR to me Massive photoshop.

C'mon, IR is infrared. This guy has a pro IR lens with IR filter and IR extension tubes.
The reddish tinge in the bushes are full IR. HDR brings out the contrast and black to white rations.

IR brings out the reds and IR light not always visible to the human eye. I seriously think the pictures there are B&W.

Ya, they're B&W, but not pure. It looks like a really old school IR though.

nice

Huh?

Turn your computer off, now.

I'm getting sick of bull shit spam such as this in this section.
It's turning to shit.
