Infrared Filters and Digital Rebel


Has anyone tried using an infrared filter with their Canon Digital Rebel? If you have, can you send me a link to your picture(s) so I can see the results? It was suggested to me to use a Hoya R72 filter. Any tips you can provide on exposure are appreciated. Thanks!

  You can certainly try the R72 filter, and I hope it works for you. All camera sensors are different and some can record infrared and some cannot. I tried a standard infrared filter on my Fuji S2 and got nothing or inconsistent results. There is a company, Harrison and Harrison, which makes infrared filters for specific digital cameras. They have no Web site, but do a Web search and their number will come up somewhere in the list. They made an infrared filter specifically for the S2, and it works like a charm. I'm sure that they make one for your Digital Rebel. Price is around $60. Good luck!
