gonna have to have a go one day with IR - how many exposures did you take? REason I ask is it looks like you may have been a shade too long - but then again, I haven't done any IR so do not have too much of a clue.

Me too Dave, it has great appeal, great stuff Tony. I just want to start blending and messing, especially in the studio.

Looks like you've got a bit of sensor dirt just above and to the right of the gable end chimney on the left.

I've had some success using autofocus and matrix metering with the filter attached, but it does pay to bracket far and wide

IRs are amazing I think!They have a real dreamy feel to them.I like this shot but id try to add a little contrast.

I think the reason theres not a lot of contrast in the whites is because i left the wb on auto, ive recently read to set the cameras wb to green or incandescent +3.
Also the dust spots: ive looked at the sensor and its spotless, where its come from is the little pieces of dust on the black infared filter - phewww

Duh, when I responded I forgot that one, course there was no filter on for that shot.

Dust on the lens is so diffused as to be invisible.

My apologies Tony, you are absolutely right, I didn't pay enough attention when I spotted them.

Remove the guesswork: set custom wb (refer to camera manual) by taking a shot to use as a wb setting with the filter on (shoot at a sunny piece of grass) and you're sorted.
Ok, so you have to fit the filter, get a wb setting, remove the filter, compose, re-attach the filter, but hey.. a little hard work is worth it when you're shooting near-ir
