Erm, presumably you need an IR camera in order to take part in the
competition, and so the grand prize would, kind of by definition, be
worthless to its winner?

Not necessarily so. Many digital cameras can take IR pictures using the
relevant filters. You can check if your digital camera can detect IR light
by shining the TV remote towards the camera lens. When the remote is "on"
you should see the glow from the sender when you look at it through the VF.
However, a specialist IR conversion unit or dedicated camera would be quite
a bonus.

With a DSLR????

Thanks Wayne but the Terms and Conditions seem to assume that the
world ends at the borders of the USA. I couldn't see any mention of
place of residence at all.

Dave.
http://www.henniker.org.uk 3000 photos especially
Edinburgh & Scotland. + 3D rendered art, old ads etc.
Délété david for email; watch the spam filters.

Hi Dave,

I'd don't see how you imply that it is US centric. The only US mention
in the terms and conditions is the one about date definitions of the end
of the month. I picked US Pacific time because it is about the last time
zone from which I get entries before the dateline and just in case of
dispute I had to pick some point. DIMi is truly international. I'm in
Australia, the site is hosted in Texas (servers are bigger in Texas :)
and I get entries from all over the world.

People do have to email with their entry their address so we can
organise for prizes to be sent.

Cheers,

Wayne

Of course not - the way Bill Again describes the test only works
if the camera has an EVF.

But you can do the same test with a DSLR by taking a photograph
of a tv-remote while somebody presses a button on it that makes
it emit IR. When you review the image on the review screen,
you'll see the IR glow described.
Hi Gang,

Yup, as Gisle said, his site and mine have lists of cameras that work.
In fact since I started testing for IR ability I have not found one
digital camera. from a compact that you have to hold the IR filter over
the lens to a dSLR that could not take some lovely shots in IR. Have a
look at the examples on Gisle's site or the IR section on mine:
http://www.dimagemaker.com/specials/digitalir/digitalir.php
for articles on how it works, what you need and lots of examples from a
list of 22 cameras (currently).

Cheers,

Wayne

****ing idiots. Why give a camera away as a prize, when you need a
camera to win?

Give away an ipod or something else, dumbass.

Not necessarily so. Many digital cameras can take IR pictures using the
relevant filters.

That is not IR Photography. There is a big difference between using a
filter and using the film.

Maybe so. But if all you have available is film then I guess that you just
have to put up with it.

Bill Again that's torn it
