Thanks... it was using a R72 IR filter and was a very cloudy day whice is not good for IR with digital... if it's not a blazing day noise creeps in this shot is the raw image from the camera just to show what can happen, in my gallery you will see a edited version of this in b/w, I have used the noise to create the power and drama needed for the shot

so you have an IR setting on the camera? that would certainly explain the noise as the IR that digitals pick up is a very smal; amount... You could acheive a similiar effect with a regular photograph quite easily, and then avoid the noise.

It was a nice shot to take, the tower is on a little hill so the clouds looked very low from my angle Thanks

Hi firstly love your Apple icon

Some newer digital cameras have a blocking filter that stops the camera from seeing the IR image produced by the filter, the camera that I used for all my IR images is a Olympus C2000Z which is a 2.1 mega pixel camera (very old) and this lets the IR in and produces this colourful image that you see on all my un altered IR images, because this is such a low res camera I now only keep it for IR because my current E20 does not produce the nice colour all I get is an overall very dark red image that it frankly horrible. So always test a camera with a filter before you buy, it is getting harder to find camera that will work in the way my old one does. But of course with the built in LCD screens you can see straight away if any given camera will work.

The side effect I talk about is if the location is not blazing sun you get a lot of noise because of two things,

1, the filter takes the camera down at least 2f stops.
2, the camera will of course up the ISO to get a bright image.

To answer your question that shot would have been at 400 ISO as it was dark at the time of the shot.

If you are interested I did write an article on IR a few years back and you can find it at my very old web site (it’s crap and I don’t have time to update it, have too many web sites of my own to maintain nowadays) go into “freelance area” then into “issue no 20” its an infrared special, all my freelance work is in PDF format (the sites doe not have my latest stuff) [link]

ohh and thanks for your comment

I suspect my FinePix will have the IR blocker, so I'm probably going to wait till I get My med-format film camera. Still, I'm going to buy some film today so i may see if the blokes on the shop will let me have a blast with the filter...

Maybe... but you never can tell, but as you say ask the guy at the store.

Noise was not added; it's a side effect of the filter and the CCD in my camera at this level of light when shot.
