I usually use my Coolpix 950 for my IR shooting, but did not want to have to carry around the extra camera when shooting.
I also did not want to spend the $80 plus on the Hoya, a filter I would not use much, but remembered a web site I used to visit and the owner mention an IR filter he used when he first bought his D100.
I contacted the company and they offered their IR filters for under $45/inc. shipping, half the price of the Hoya, so I ordered one. It just came in the mail today and I took a quick shot with it while loading the car for soccer tonight. I will definately do some real experimenting more this week.
Though this shot will not do the filter justice, here is my quick snap shot.
I used Yves' technique as a starting point for the processing, though quickly found myself experimenting. I also quickly noticed looking at Yves' shots, he was using a much long exposure time than my shot, which would explain the amount of noise in my shot.
