Michael: It can be pricey if you want. But as a student I cant spend lots of money for expensive equipment (I have also another hobbies
).
BW pics was taken with simple compact Olympus Fe-100. The IR version pics are taken with Panasonic FZ-18 and 720nm (colored IR) or 800nm (BW pics) IR filter. Both IR filters I bought from ebay for around £12
.
AlexN: As I wrote I use that IR with Panasonic FZ-18. You can remove the IR cut filter from your Canon but it makes only one difference. Your exposure time will change from e.g. 20 seconds to 1/200 sec. But with this you can make extraordinary pics like butterflies in IR or another animals. You can also try to capture moving objects ...
Thanks for replies!
