    Help IR Filters?

    Hi all,

    I was browsing flickr and stumbled on this guy's photostream

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/svelo/

    He's got loads of pictures taken with an IR filter on his camera which i think look really effective.



    Now is it possible to get the same effect through software or should I really be getting an IR filter to get images to look like that?

    Thanks

    I don't think you'll find any software that can get near the effect of a proper filter.

    Having said that, the image you see is nothing like the image that comes from a camera fitted with an IR filter, it's been heavily processed in PS to give the false colour effect.

    There's a very good article all about digital IR here.
