Eric, you dog :-)

I still have my xe1 sitting ready to ship for IR conversion. I can't explain why I'm so ambivalent to get it done...not my way.

This is the final inspiration..it's going out when I get home!!!

Thanks,

Tom

Get 665nm Tom. I have an XE1 converted to 665nm and it works well.
Unfortunately I notice on my travels recently that there is a dist speck behind the sensor glass so it will need to go back for cleaning. Shame as it was perfect on first conversion but this speckis easy toclone out but still a nuisnce. Maybe I will wait untilI am back in UK.

I have a speck on mine. But I take so few shots when shooting IR that it's hardly worth doing anything about it. This holiday for example, I took 20 shots, 5 have been processed....only 1 has the speck discernible. ( that's in contrast to 200 colour shots taken.)

I've been thinking that as well but my OCD part says get it sorted!

You could turn it into a copyright mark.

In fairness, I haven't been that motivated to do IR this year. It DOES need a bit of effort to hunt out subjects that work in IR.
With experience it's easier to spot worthy subjects...because not every location yields IR opportunities.

For me, there is nothing worse than a historic building in light stone. The surrounding white greenery just swamps the light structure. I never get the IR camera out of the bag if I visit such a location.

The strength of an IR image ( for me) comes from the elements that do NOT respond to IR.

Purely for Tom's motivational benefit ;-) I have added a few more different interpretations.

Go on Tom, you know you want to! :thumbsup:
