Yikes, i can't believe I never commented on thse. They're wonderful examples of IR phtography. Because of your lead I bought a camera and will have it converted to IR. It should be an interesting learning experience.

dan over at maxmax.com is great to work with. when you get it, let me kown and i'll hep you out if you need it.

btw - tell dan over at maxmax that i referred you, and "could he extend the same offer as other referrals by andy, a free xnite-cc1 color correction filter?"

you should also buy the xnite xdp filter - it lets some color in. i use it, or a hoya r72, as my ir filters of choice.

First - those pictures are amazing. I live right on the edge of Central Park so I'm very familair with the exact locations. Can this be done with a Nikon 5700? Thanks.

I love that wedding photographer shot, just love it, would that it were in my collection.

I wonder if I could get a wedding photographer to do that.

These are the first ones I haven't seen before. I must have been very new or not here when you posted these.

Beautiful shots all. Where was this thread hiding? So glad it has been brought to the fore. I feel like I just took a refreshing walk through the park. Thanks Andy.

Very nice, I love the creamy effect that IR gives to your people shots.

I think a lot of people are having the same read/unread problems with IE and so posts go through marked as read when they have not been.

I know I never saw this post before and I try really hard to read every one. I dont comment on them all but I read them all.

Hello Andy,

Your shots are fabulous !!! I enjoyed them a lot.
Are you a professional ?
To me, who is a beginner in phography, it looks like.
I don't know how you could get such color effect but the result is very nice.
Thanks for the pleasure,
Chantal

thanks chantal. infrared requires some special filters and techniques, there's loads of info in this thread (http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1009&message=7558421)

yes, i sell many of my prints. and i'm working on several different projects at the moment with my photographs.

thanks so much for stopping by, and the very kind words.

Whoops, missed your answer. :doh

It doesn't look like Dan at maxmax does a D60. I was planning to send the thing to IRDigital (http://www.irdigital.net/), as I saw a brief write up about their IR conversion. I'll check out maxmax.

I'm glad you mentioned the additional filter you use, I was meaning to ask you about that. I'm wondering if it's useful, with the kind of IR conversion that IRDigital does to a D60? :scratch
