It was good fun, aside from the fact that DSLRs are covered with stupid buttons that I don't know how to use.Keep in mind that the focus is slightly different when shooting IR, so you have to: - turn the autofocus off - stop it way down - ignore your viewfinder, add "IR" lines to your lens's DOF guide and scale focus.But scale focusing is good for the photographic constitution, anyway!I think there are folks who will modify lenses to focus correctly for huge sums of money, too. If you want dedicated IR lenses.Jason I took Brian's modified D40 out one weekend. It was good fun, aside from the fact that DSLRs are covered with stupid buttons that I don't know how to use.

Keep in mind that the focus is slightly different when shooting IR, so you have to:
- turn the autofocus off
- stop it way down
- ignore your viewfinder, add "IR" lines to your lens's DOF guide and scale focus.

But scale focusing is good for the photographic constitution, anyway!

Make sure you use it where the bride isn't a complete uptight traditionalist. And also note that subjects tend to look like zombies with this technique.

Praslowicz Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:47:15 +0000 http://www.kpraslowicz.com/?p=1626#comment-4829 Seems logical that it would work with a digital that is converted to IR. I don't have any experience in the digital IR world though, so I could be totally wrong. I think as long as the sensor is sensitive to IR without any massive light loss from a filter, it could work.

I'm a wedding photographer and I think it would be really interesting to do a lot of reception shooting with just IR flash. I assume this would work with a digital camera converted to IR?
