IR without the sun

Prompted by recent discussions in another thread, snappers-social-club.proboards.com/post/65681/thread, I thought I'd share a few IR images that didn't rely on sunshine at all.

Firstly using my ancient Sony V1 in 'nightshot' mode (the camera has a built in IR LED)

The same set-up but with some visual light thrown in

Combining an unfiltered full spectrum camera with unmodified studio flash (this added some IR character)

And a couple after dark using a 720nm filter on converted cameras

One of those I intended to share never made it Flickr. A full spectrum converted camera with a hot shoe mounted IR illuminator

Very different to my output - rather ethereal in some way...
