Re: Nikon Coolpix digitals and IR

["Matt Jones" <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are some images I took in St Lucia with the 950 and a heliopan 780nm ir
pass filter:

follow the gallery link

They are pretty much as they cam out of the camara, the only change being to
remove any colour by reducing the depth to greyscale.

There is also an egroups page:

http://www.egroups.com/group/infraredphotography

That is seemingly dedicated to the art, although there has been precious
little activity there since I tried to liven it up a few months ago.

Lets see some results when you do get your camera.
