I received my 350D back which was being converted to IR only shooting by LDP. My first shots with it are up at:

Interesting images (I am curious why you chose such wide
stops with high shutter speeds, though...). BTW, Sony
removed a valuable feature from their later Mini-DV
cameras that offered "night shot" in the priggish belief
that people could use it as an "X-Ray" feature to see
through clothes. As a result, we can no longer shoot the
beautiful daylight IR in video that had been possible (see
http://www.ferrario.com/ruether/ir.htm for some sample
frame-grabs from the early Sony TRV-9). With many
camcorders the IR blocking filter can still be switched
out for IR "night vision" (using IR light sources), but
current Sony camcorders unfortunately force
overexposure in daylight.
