There are great portraits already this week but I was lucky to get a portrait of a very shy and elusive subject so I have to enter...."Mr. Groundhog"

Sean - I am really starting to like IR. Did you have a camera modified, or do you do that in Post?

Here are a couple of landscapes of Silver Lake, Mi taken last night. My attempt to provide at least a little competition for Sean.

I guess that just shows that a Woodchuck could chuck wood.

Pat,

I'm actually using a Hoya 77mm R72 Infrared Filter attached to the front of my lens - no camera modification required. Although DSLRs have a filter built-in that blocks most IR light, a little bit passes through. The Hoya IR filter blocks all visible light allowing only IR light to reach the sensor. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your tastes and patience), shooting IR with an IR filter on the front of the lens presents a couple of challenges:

1) You cannot use the viewfinder to compose your scene with the filter in place.

2) Exposure times are very long. Most of mine are in the 2-3 minute range, requiring a timer.
