Introduction

A couple of years ago I experimented with a Hoya R72 filter on an Olympus 5050z and then an Olympus E300. The images were ok, but the long exposure, not being able to see anything through the viewfinder left me very frustrated. After seeing many excellent examples of IR images, especially colour IR during the last couple of months I have decided to have another go.

This time I am going to use a camera that been specially converted to IR. I’ve purchased a second hand Canon 30D from Walters Photo Video Ltd which is now in the hands of ACS being converted to allow infrared images to be taken. The camera should be back with me sometime in January.

I am going to use this blog to record my progress with digital Infrared photography and hopefully I will create some tutorials on how to take and process IR images later in the year.

Expected 1-2 updates per month for the first couple of months. Time permitting I will try and update more often. Also check my other blog for updates on my latest non-infrared work
