HI All
right here's my take on IR with a Canon 350D and a Cokin P Series IR filter.

If I have posted this in other threads please bear with me.

1. NEVER use the AWB feature on the camera when taking IR - it defeats the whole object

2. take a picture of grass sunlight, then set the WB to this picture

3. Mount the filter, set the film speed to between 100 and 800, any higher and you will get lots and I mean lots of noise

4. Also get a Pure red filter I use Cokin P Series, will dig the details out for those that are interested.

5. Mount the Red filter 1st, then the IR, mount the camera on the tripod and then, set for long exposures, anywhere between 1 and 15 secs (any more than this will cause lots of noise)

6. change the parameters to B&W with no toning and no filter effects

will post a more complete guide to using a 350D with IR as soon as I get the chance
