Normally, I would have shot this at 30 sec, f/8, ISO 400 as a RAW/JPEG FINE so I could extract the color data through channel swapping. However, I was set up for another shoot, so I modified the time, ISO and Aperture feeling that since I was dealing with an IR filter and not a modified camera, I could cheat the system. More tweaking yet to do, but love the reaction of the movement in relation to the fixed objects.

It works for me!

And me.

I really should treat myself to a screw on infrared filter, but which one should I buy?? Any suggestions anyone?

I'm using the HOYA R72

Thanks for that Chris, but after looking at the Hoya R72 with a 77mm thread at £85 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoya-77mm-Infrared-Screw-Filter/dp/B0000AIS2B/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=77mm+infrared+filter+r72+for+lens&qid=1595609726&s=electronics&sr=1-3), I thought I would look at their 82mm version so I could still use it on my old 77mm filter mount 16-35 zoom lens at 16mm, but with a step up ring that I already own so it wouldn't vignette so much (which all filters do on this old lens unless I get the 82mm variant) and for that filter size they wanted an eye watering £150 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoya-Infrared-Filter-R72-Lens/dp/B00HYL9NI8/ref=asc_df_B00HYL9NI8/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310171959482&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11902029888944892668&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=20342&hvtargid=pla-350600264355&psc=1&th=1&psc=1) - so a bit of a surprisingly large jump in price there I think. So I found this one at SRB Photographic (https://www.srb-photographic.co.uk/82mm-infrared-ir720-filter-6822-p.asp) which is the same level and type of filtration, but with an 82mm thread and so I bought that one instead and it was only £29.95.

I have bought quite a bit of stuff from SRB over the years and it has always been good, so worth a try at that price I thought, but anyway, thanks again for the info ;)
