The shots were all taken in Malaysia and I think they could go bill board size. I add a bit of softened grain to give the shots a surreal kind of look. I have produced numerous prints for couples too, as I used the 10d IR at each wedding when the sun was shining. Kind regards, Damien. Hi Sara,

The guys at ACS should be able to advise you. They will know if the process is suitable for your Fuji camera. I hope it is okay. Damien. Hi Terry,

I was short of money, so I did not buy a filter of glass, but instead I glued a normal gel filter in the camera and it worked. But now I want to convert my 10D with a glass filter. You write, that you did a reset of the focusing system. How did you do that? Claus A year ago I converted a D30 for infraread using the do it yourself guide on lifepixels homepage.

The monochrome file out of the camera is very flat and needs punching up to bring it alive. I hope this helps. Damien. Hi Dave,

I can't get black skies on my 720nm converted 400d or am I doing things wrong? Thanks for any advice. Dave Hi – Somerset levels shot has a superb black sky – was your conversion 720nm?

I couldn't even juggle the order of the pictures in Capture One and the workflow was a real pain. Now that Lightroom is stable and well structured, a Jpeg workflow is not a contender. Before I had the P25 our Fujifilm cameras produced jpegs with a better and more natural colour than most people could get with RAW from any camera platform. I hope this helps, Damien. Hi Ion,

I just noticed Martin's posting here. (first on the top) Can you please explain this? This is something I wanted to ask you long time ago (after I read you Prof Wed Phot book). By the way, a great book . Many thanks. Ion Hi Damien,
