Dude, where did you get the filter? Wondering what they go for. After seeing your pics I went looking for Photoshop IR filters, but they aren't nearly as good.

obviously I was just wondering if it's just for artistic effects or is there a practical use. thought it was kind of wierd that they'd make such a filter just for effects

both

certian things show up much better in IR, color IR film is/was used alot in areal photography because iot revealed certian aspects of the terrane much better

IR is also used in astro photography

the filter just makes it easier to do digitally because we arnt useing IR sensitive film anymore

There is a practical use.

You can take clear pictures in the dark.

wanna bet

you loose about 8 stops with this IR filter, if you hold it up to the sun you cant see through it, its solid black

I like the effect that the 1 second shutter speed gave it. Awesome photos.

Keep in mind this is a filter, not an IR nightvision lense. It only lets IR light in, screening out other light.

exactly

and here some visual proof, these 2 pics were take at the EXACT same settings, only difference is one is with the filter and one is without

the first is extreamly overexposed but had to be to show this

ISO 200, 35mm 30second exposure F/2.8, this was taken at like 2AM and its the middle of the night, nothing has ben done to them other then resizeing, the with filter one is red because thats how they come out of the camera before you color correct them

its the moon there

no filter
