Thanks, everyone. I'm loving this infrared. I'm afraid you're going to be seeing lots more of it in the coming weeks! Summers in Alabama seem the perfect time to practice with infrared -- rich green flora and deep blue skies and bright, hot sun!!!

Awesome shot DiAnna!! WOW!!! Okay, I have to ask......why did you have to use so many filters....can you explain a little bit about Infrared to me? I'm interested.

Wow, Bobbie -- tall order. I'm just learning myself. From what I've read, infrared photography is somewhat like an x-ray -- IR is the light we can't see with our eyes. IR photography captures it bouncing off trees and grass so anything green appears white while the blue in the sky will appear almost black. Sony produces some of the few digital cameras equipped for it, but with certain limitations. On the Sony it's called the "night shot" mode and was made for photographing in darkness (like a baby sleeping). So if you use it during the day without filters it is completely blown out. However, also from what I've read, the best time to take infared is in the middle of the day when the sun is the brightest. Some people use a single ND filter, but I seemed to get the best results with the two combined. A big thank-you to the folks at www.2filter.com for recommending both the NDX4 AND NDX8 or I would have been totally frustrated! So, I think it goes like this: the IR filter is used to eliminate the visible light to get the IR light, the ND filters are used to keep the highlights from being blown out and the polarizer is used to protect the camera which is particularly vulnerable during IR. I welcome anyone who knows more to please add or correct. There are ways to simulate IR photography in PS, but I've never found them as good as the "real" thing.

This image is just spectacular. I also enjoyed the IR tutorial - and I don't even have an IR capable camera. It is really interesting to find out how this process works. The images are just magical and I love them.

Thank you so much for the information DiAnna!!! Now, do you think I can do the same thing with all those filters with my Canon digital Rebel, you used it on a difital right?....or do I have to have a special camera that can do this? Sounds like I may be able to but.......

Bobbie, I've read conflicting reports on that so far. Someone with a lot more knowledge than me will have to answer that one. From what I've read most cameras have an IR blocking filter inside the camera. The Sony has the night shot mode that flips something inside of the camera (you can actually hear it) which allows the IR photography.
