I used an infrared converted camera. If you are curious, take a look at r72 [link] , and of course I've got a ton of various kinds if IR work in my gallery.

Ok after some searching I found out about the R72 filter
I already ordered it. 55mm 720nm...whats the difference on the exposure between 720nm and 950nm? Thanx in advance

Making IR photos is much more than just using the filter. The initial learning curve can be very frustrating. For example, there is no one answer to your exposure question - the variables regarding your camera's sensitivity, and the light conditions of a given day and subject will determine exposure. You will want to read up about exposure techniques and about post processing your IR pictures in Photoshop.

While experimenting with the special effect can be fun, to really develop as a photographer you will want to master the basics of standard color.

I'm sorry, I wasn't more detailed on my question...When using a 720nm does it need less shutter speed than the 950nm for example? (assuming that we have a good weather conditions with a bright sunny day.

"You will want to read up about exposure techniques and about post processing your IR pictures in Photoshop."
I was sitting all night long reading many tutorials in R72 club. And I'm planning to lear even more today after work.

Totally agree with you and already in that progress. But I WILL need help with that too. So if you feel like it, please check my gallery every week to see my latest work and point out...whats needed to be pointed out Advanced critique is encouraged. I really want it...I got this flame burning inside of me for photography.

You've got a good guide to learning IR with Phostructor here - I've enjoyed working with him.
