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. Bill |

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 -- Wayne J.

When the remote is "on" you should see the glow from the sender when you look at it through the VF. With a DSLR???? 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).

Why give a camera away as a prize, when you need a camera to win? Give away an ipod or something else, dumbass. |
