Dabbling with infrared.

Hoya R72 is the one you need.

i would've thought you'd be better off with something that screw onto the buttom of the camera (into the tripod stand) and then cover the whole lens assmebly on the camera with a tube, with the filter on the end of that. more like this> http://www.flickr.com/photos/publicenergy/13158404/

saves glueing anything to the camera, and would allow the lens to move freely as well.

i use a hoya r72.

Also had a quick play with yours.
I hope no one is offended by my taking on some further processing its just I work a lot with Infrared and personally feel I know how to bring out the best in an image. This is a very beautiful Image greengiant.

Looks much better!

PPing isn't my strong point, and IR photography needs a lot of PP done!

However I'm hoping to get some more shots done this weekend.

I basically used the workflow as described by Panzerbjorn:

'Auto levels, contrast and colour

Channel mixer: select Red from the drop down and change the Red to 0 and the Blue to 100 then select Blue from the drop down and change Red to 100 and Blue to 0

Hue/Saturation: Select Master from the drop down and change the Hue to 40

Curves: Play around with this but I settled for Input 185 Output 200

Auto levels, contrast and colour again.

Noise reduction and USM and you're done'

I also used this B&W action. Then some burning and dodging to darken the sky and the darker parts of the church and lighten the foliage. Tweaked with curves and finally some unsharp mask- a bit too much perhaps... there is a lot of potential in your shot and someone with more time and skill than me could make it int a stunning shot

Thanks for that. I'll give that a try on the original image!

This of course is what you want:

Last week Fujifilm revealed their third non-visible light (UV and
IR) sensitive camera, the 'IS Pro', this specialized digital SLR is
based on the S5 Pro (which is subsequently based on a Nikon D200
chassis) and is designed to be used specifically in law enforcement
as well as scientific and medical communities.

Aye, but I wouldn't like to guess at the cost. Probably cheaper to just get a D200 and convert it to IR.
