Wow. that first image tripped me out. I thought it was a model at first with wings/steampunk/cosplay. I have never heard of or seen that Angel statue before. The last IR photos I remember seeing you post were grey/purple but i haven't been around in a while. This color was really nice. It immediately reminded me of that Robin Williams movie, What dreams may come. Everyone needs to open these up in a separate browser tab to appreciate the details. This set by far is my favorite of your IR photos. Im not blowing smoke. Makes me want to try IR now. This is the 590nm. Is it also called 'super color'? I found one for my camera called '590nm super color' I just want to do some research. very creative. thanks

Yes it's called super colour in some cases. The previous ones had the red and blue channels swapped to make the sky more blue but in this case I thought it made them look worse.
Ok. I didn't realize you had to replace the mirror in the camera. That is full commitment to IR!
It's not the mirror - it's the IR filter (at least in most DSLRs) which if I remember right is actually on top of the sensor.
Way back when I first saw your ir pics I though you were using film. I didn't know it was a conversion or how the process/mechanics worked.
I found this for my camera.

It's like open heart surgery and total commitment. I was hoping it was just a filter on top of the lens or something. anyways, im just gonna have to enjoy your IR photos. these were real good. See ya.
You can do long exposures using a filter but it obviously limits what you can do and the results you can get. I got mine converted through a company because I would probably destroy the camera if I did it myself.
I have an older sony 5N. Plus this camera is no longer under warranty but works great. I would be willing to convert that one. I found this guy last night. That is where I found the '590 super color' $250 I asked you about. Which sounds reasonable for the work it involves. It's like getting a whole new camera. Lots of creative possibilities.
Yes sounds reasonable. Just make sure the guy knows what he is doing. There is a whole section in Lifepixel about people who have done a bad job and wrecked people's cameras.
