Wow! Some of those single channel monochromes are dynamite! Look
complete at least on size shown.

Hi John,

Thanks. Provided you don't mind the long exposures you can get some
good images out of the 5D in IR.

Cheers,

Wayne

I've considered having my D60 modified for IR Photography. This
involves taking it apart and replacing the hotmirror with an IR filter.
The advantage of doing it this way is that you can pretty much use the
camera's exposure meter, avoiding the long exposure times required
otherwise. The disadvantage of course is that you are now limited to
IR photography. Since I rarely use the D60 any more, I figured what
the heck.

Any thoughts on this?

If you need to, you can also purchase an external hot mirror ($$$!?),
and return the D60 to regularly scheduled programming if necessary.

I actually prefer using a good non-dslr style camera for IR. Live
preview is a big help when framing or just scoping around the area like
a drunken Borg drone.
