Description I rarely take landscape photos during the summer, mainly because dawn is just too early & I can't be bothered to get up!

However, I've recently picked up an infra red filter in an effort to get me out & taking photos.

Apart from a couple of test shots in the garden this is my first go with it. I had to whack the iso up to get the exposure time under 30secs, so it's a bit noisy. I'm thinking that later in the day might be a better time to do this, the low sun gave me massive problems with flare, and the mist on the river doesn't really show up that well with IR.

Shall keep on practicing though

Humidity doesn't show up in IR, unless it's backlit. You can take crystal clear images during mid-day when the 'naked' camera wouldn't even bother recording any details because of humidity.
So, for IR, mid-day shooting is just as good as any other. Just make sure you use base ISO and have the sun in your back. Flare becomes a real problem with lenses not intended for IR use (and most are not).
Looking forward to your IR shots!

Cheers for the pointers, I'll try and get out this week and give it another go. One of the reasons I went for a dawn shoot is that the area is almost always calm at that time of day - so no wind to blur the trees.
