I didn't know you could take such great infrared shots with a compact, you've inspired me and i'm now thinking about going the same way as before i assumed i'd have to spend loads of money on a dslr to modify.
Having looked through your gallery however, i think that this sony produces far better results quality-wise than the canon G2 you've been using. Keep up the great work.

Thank you!
Compacts are a great way to do infrared photos! I've started with an unmodified Canon G1, then I got Sony DSC-F717, and I ended up with G2 that I modified for IR only.
Every one of those cameras has something missing - Sony has a great lens and a nice 5 MP sensor, but it is limited to 1/60s and f/2.2 in nightshot mode that is used for IR. You cannot use it in manual mode for IR. Because of that, you must use ND filters so that you don't overexpose. It doesn't have RAW - only JPEG, it is harder to modify and 1/60 is sometimes too slow. And you just don't record that much colour with Sony so there was too much postprocessing involved for my liking. So that is why I sold it.
G1/G2 have a great lens and a more than decent sensor, but only 3 and 4 MP. But how often do you print really big? I have printed 3 MP from G1 to 30x40 cm and it looks just fine. It has RAW, you can use it in manual mode, and it is easy to modify it for IR only which allows you handheld shutter speeds up to 1/500s. And best of all - you can get it cheap
If I was looking for a IR compact now, I'd go with G3/G5. They're very similar to G2 and can easily be modified, with great results.

What impressed me the most was the crisp shadow effect on the lake. My love came from the old shanty that sits in the corner, it's contrasted- beautifully and displayed proudly on the lake. Nice shot. A must fave and great work friend.

s kompaktom ti je dovoljan filter i mirna ruka, stativ vrlo pozeljan. s obicnim dSLRom je zezanje...

IR s dSLRom je poprilicna komplikacija jer ne vidis nista u trazilu, a IR svjetlo ne fokusira isto kao vidljivo, a i ekspozicije su jaaaaaako duge. osim ako ne skines blok ispred senzora, a onda ti aparat postane neupotrebljiv za normalnu fotografiju. pa je tu i problem s hotspotom... Nikon d70 se cini kao najbolji izbor za nekonvertirani aparat.
ako ti se ne da natezati sa stativom i dugim ekspozicijama, onda uzmes npr. neki od 7x7 sony aparata, canon G1, olympus 2xxx seriju i hoya R72 filter (ili odgovarajuci od B+W, Heliopana itd.) koji propusta i jedan mali dio vidljivog svjetla pa mozes dobiti fini efekt laznih boja. sa sonijem ti trebaju i ND filtri (vidi odgovor Slavenu).
ima i drugih IR filtera, nesto su skuplji, a propustaju IR svjetlo duljih valnih duljina (iznad 750, 770 nm itd.) i njihov efekt mi nije bogznakaj - c/b kojeg mozes dobiti i sa gorespomenutim.
preporucam malo kopanja po ebayu, moze se pronaci vec gotovih setova kompakt+filter za relativno male novce.
inace, ovo je dobar link za pocetak: [link] a kad dodjem doma mogu ti iz arhive iskopati jos ako zelis. takodjer, gilad ima u jednom od starijih journala nesto o IRu.
ako zelis probati, mogu ti posuditi hoya r72, navoj 58 mm.
