Infrared Cemetery

First time I use my Hoya infra red filter other than for test shots. Would appreciate comments.

This cemetery is called Trafalgar cemetery and most of the tombs are from 1804 and 1805, although more of the dead are from a plague of yellow fever than from the famous sea battle.

I like Alex, the IR treatment gives the shots a surreal feel, nice

I like, gives a good 'different' look.

Oooh they're nice, especially for Canon IR. I thought it was a D70 for a minute.

based on the 2nd shot I would say kit lens. There excellent for Canon. Very high ISO ?

Yeah it was the kit lens on my 300D. Based on my tests my 10D and 50mm f1.8 are my prefered combination so far though.

ISO was 100 but I wanted some 'grain' for the full infrared look. #1 was normal but #2 and #3 were underexposed on purpose to push them later and get noise. I find I prefer the noise you get than way than the noise you can add with photoshop.

The hot spot on the kit lens seemed to appear on exposures 15" and longer. I didnt try using a higher ISO and slower exposure, maybe that would have been a better decision, though I suspect at higher ISO a hot spot will just take a proportionally shorter time to appear.

Nice shots! I like number two the most.
