I love the Infrared images! Did you convert an older model to Infrared? Or does your current camera have this feature? Just curious...

I had Lifepixel.com convert a Canon 20D for me for IR use. It was a great change from 30 sec exposures at ISO 800!!!

I have never heard of Digital Infrared. This is quite impressive, as is the other picture of the clouds over the field. Quite interesting. I'll have to look up Lifepixel.com and see what I can learn.

Thanks, Linda. You can do digital IR with an opaque IR filter (Hoya R72M is the standard one, but there are many others. Only problem there is that all digital cameras have an IR *blocking* filter just above the sensor. This necessitates long exposures (30-60 sec, ISO 800+ on most Canon SLRs...1/4 - 8 sec on some older Nikons like the D70). Lifepixel removes that blocking filter so that your camera is now much more sensitive to IR wavelengths...depending on your selected conversion mode, that may be the only thing that it will be sensitive to...that is the way I had mine done.
