That's really cool. Thanks for sharing! I love infrared. I use to process it myself when I was in school and had access to a dark room. It was Fussy little film! I have been thinking about getting a filter for the digital but, on the list of needs it's pretty far down there.

thanks Shannon-

interesting article re digital ir- http://bermangraphics.com/press/infrared.htm

I understand some of the cameras' white balance adjusts for the light coming through the filter and so not much happens-depends on the camera-

I just got a film 35mm canon off of ebay and had considered trying some ir until I read about what's involved--

not so sure now--

Howdy George,

That is really a neat keepsake, and also reminds me how timeless photo's are. Thanks for sharing this really neat image. I am sure you are very proud of it:):

thanks Craig-

my father and his brother were very good photographers and they at least passed on the love for it if not the skill-

loved your photo and I always like to look at grand tetons-

what camera, filter, etc did you use for the shot?--

Howdy George,

Thanks, it was our first trip to the Tetons and Yellowstone, I sure hope it won't be our last. I could not believe all the photo op's there, you could shoot for months and with all the changing weather not have the same shots.

I am still using my Sony 717, Nightshot mode, Hoya R72 IR Filter, and usually at least an ND8, sometimes also with an ND2 or 4 depending on the brightness of the day. It was been such a wonderful camera, I have it as my dedicated IR Camera now.

thanks much for your response--

hope to try some ir in the future--
