I recently picked up a hoya infrared filter pretty cheap and been messing around with it. I can't quite get it right.

anyone done infrared photography with a digital camera?

you can do infrared photography on a digital? i know that if you're going the film route, you have to have special infrared film. so do digital ccds support infrared?

yes some do. my d70 does. ive heard 300d canons suck nuts for infrared stuff. there are two ways i think to get infrared.

one is to just get a screw on filter for the lens, which is the easy and way less risky way. The other is to take your camera apart and mess around with the filter on the ccd. im not too sure about that method and theres no way im gonna take my camera apart :P
