Due to Ohio weather, opening day for the club has been postponed.
I will update with a new opening date at a later time. Thank you for the patience.

Welcome to IR Photographers. We are a new club here on dA, specializing in IR, or infrared, photography. We will be upgrading to a paid account soon, and sending invitations/taking requests for membership. As of right now =surrealeye and I (the co-founders) are the only official members.

Keep an eye on us. There will be good things to come.
Below is a small description of the process I use to shoot IR.
This is far from a full tutorial, but it gives you an idea of what
I go through when shooting IR.


-------------------------


1. Set your custom white balance. For my D50 I set the WB to "PRE", then hold down the WB button until "PRE" flashed in the upper display, then shoot a photo of some nice lush grass (using aperture priority mode). Do this with the IR filter ON the lens.

2. Place your camera on a tripod. Remove the IR filter. Compose and focus your shot. Once this is done, screw the IR back onto the lens and switch the camera to manual focus. this will prevent the camera from trying to focus with the filter on, which 99% of the time it will not be able to do.

3. I switch to aperture priority and set my desired aperture (I use f8 - f11 for nice clear landscape shots) to determine what shutter speed to start at. Then I switch to manual mode and set the shutter speed per what I read from aperture priority. Then switch on either your timer on your IR remote to avoid vibration. Take your first shot. Now, bracket a few with slower and quicker shutter speeds.
