Ok, so many of you have converted an old body to IR... I've been thinking about doing it to an old D2x but then I saw an article in last month's Popular Photography about how to make a conversion using Adobe Camera RAW. Here is my first attempt. Before I waste much more time, I'd like your thoughts on whether this really simulates IR or is just another "effect" that I probably won't do again  Attachment: xp1-2623.jpg (Downloaded 45 times)

Looks good to me. B&W IR is one effect but there is also false colour IR that is provided by having the camera converted. Eric and Robert are more successful at this than I am!

Do you have a reference to the Popular Photography article. Which month and page?

It's on my desk at home...will get it tonight. Don't see it on their Web site, but may not be looking correctly

Would also be interested in the technique. I think you need to try it on different lighting situations...try an overcast woodland....and also see how non natural elements are rendered.

Thanks... I'll try some more. I do see, though, that the color element is the big thing I missed in the concept duh

BTW, the process was VERY simple...took all of about 2 minutes

Your result though is very realistic. It renders the shaded areas of the foliage as realistic greys. It also renders the two different tree types differently...which is realistic. I will be intriqued to hear the technique....it would reduce the weight of my lens bag significantly, not having to cart the D200IR body and lenses around!!

While we are waiting with baited breath for Toms technique how about debating whether it's photography or not? I hear so many people talk about post capture manipulation not being 'real photography', I wonder if the converted camera mob will draw the same comparison with IR? Personally I stopped bothering about these 'differences' soon after getting my first digital camera. In fact my business slogan was 'creating a better image'. Whilst it was aimed at improving companies product and presentation appearance, the double meaning was always there. Have always subscribed to the belief that 'inside every good photo, there is a great image waiting to be released'.

It looks good Tom, perhaps a little more contrast in the foreground but that's nitpicking. Is it possible to mask out the sky from the process on a separate layer?
