Holly,

Glad to be of some use.  Am adding to the repository of infrared
information on the site almost daily and have had some useful contributions.

Using a P&S camera is a good way of using an opaque ir filter as long as
you have either a manual mode for aperture/shutter speed or can set the
film speed manually.  Tell us more about your experiences.

Will contact you off list re. the Grad filters.


All the best,

              Clive   http://www.cocam.co.uk
