Anyone got any good tips on Infra-red photography? I'm taking photos of a twighlight iron pour on Monday and I've never tried IR film before. However, I do already know that my good camera will fog the film up - it says so in the manual. *sigh*

wintrmute: I know you've done some in the past - how do you think it will work with extreme temperatures?

I'd suggest giving phiil a shout. he's done IR photography before using his digital camera and seems to know a fair bit about it... that is if you can get hold of him...

I'd add ev1ldonut to this suggestion, since he's got an IR filter for his camera and has done recent research into it. :)

Good call! I'll see if I can catch him on MSN or something...

Hey Laura,

I'm on nocturnal timing lately, but give me a call and I'll wake up :)
I've got a film camera that works OK with IR film, but I'm not sure if I still have my IR filter for it. I'll have a look.

Thanks, but I've got all the stuff - it's been lying around my place for aaages. Thought this might be a good excuse to use it at last. What I really want to know is what kind of effect the hot metal will give...
