I adore it, but it's fiddly, and my camera's not very sensitive to it, so it takes that much more effort to pull through.
One of these days I'll try IR film, just to see if it's more hassle.

you're one of the few people i've seen who uses IR (or near-IR) film. i've considered playing with it for a while, but my camera would need quite a bit of preparation to work with it and i don't have consistent access to a darkroom.

This one's digital! I haven't shot IR film yet, though I have some in my fridge. My film camera is from the time before they started using IR film sensors, so I could shoot a lot in it. And should, as my digital camera is fairly insensitive to IR. But you're right, there's a lot that will fog IR film in normal use.

hmm....i should find a digital camera that can do that then. i've only got a point-and-shoot as is, but it suits my purposes. i know some digicams can, but i always thing of IR as being a film domain for some reason.

They can all do it, you just need a way to attach a filter to it. (Cokin make holders for point and shoot cameras, and I think they have R72 filters). All you need is an R72 and a tripod, and a camera that can handle long exposures without too much noise. Look it up on the web, you can at least experiment with what you have already.

thanks, so is it just setting it to a black and white mode with an R72 filter? my camera doesn't have an IR mode, it's a pretty cheap point-and-shoot.

That's pretty much how it works! You expose a long time and hope your camera's red filters are permeable by near-IR wavelengths (they're not, hence the long exposures). For 'proper' IR, you'll need a digital camera that can do extremely long exposures (or a film camera, much easier).

How long would the exposure time need to be; would 30 seconds work?

Depends on the camera and its sensor. Mine needs 3-8 seconds, depending on the usual factors. :)
