Love IR myself, especially if done on a proper b&w IR film:

Persepolis, Islamic Republic of Iran















Palmyra, Syria















Some Roman amphitheatre, Syria















Wadi Rum desert, Jordan















Baja California, Mexico














Baja cactii














Joshua Tree National Park, U.S. of A.














Icy Spiti penninsula, my home country Estonia














Baltic Sea coast, Estonia














Estonian winter.














Just a reflection across my hometown lake.

Ride safe,

I do love the film b&w too........but the 665nm(converted 40d) filter on my digital keeps me shooting to. I find a lot of film ir guys hate it......I know why but....I think we'll be seeing a lot more of this in the future.

Stunning shots BTW

I absolutely did not mean I hate the digital IR! Love it too, it's just that I'm a bit oldschool oriented bloke in photography with the need of "film feel" in the image - grainy halftones, bleached highlights etc, that give the "punch" to B&W photos which film usually does. And obviously it's purely a taste thing.

But in some cases and in the right hands digital IR works also super wonders IMHO.

Here's a colour IR portrait with my wife Kariina, shot by a friend of mine (Canon D1s converted to IR-camera) Note that sunglasses are supposed to be black, but IR band of light sees through them

OK, I'll now go and hide, since usually I never post pics of myself...

Ride safe,
Margus

Yep margus has some skills. I gotta say the sea one for the tonal range detail and motion . There is not a single shot he posted that wouldn't be hanging somewhere.

My contributions. These are all about five years old. I was taking an "alternative processes" class and one of our areas of study was infrared photography. I loved it at the time, but haven't really touched it since then. For years now I've been meaning to convert my older Nikon to a dedicated IR camera, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet.

Those first two were shot with a Nikon D70 with a (IIRC) #67 IR filter over the lens. That number may be off. This next one here was taken with my Nikon 35mm with a DX 18mm lens on the front. Don't remember the film or settings, but I do know that this is one GRAINY photo.

Indeed that's a killer image tsiklonaut
(Nice use of wide-angle by the way)

From the little I've seen, digital IR looks quite different to film IR. Are they sensitive to different parts of the spectrum or something?
