Infrared with non modified Canon 40D

[PhreakTastic]

I bought an ir720 filter and thought I'd have a go taking some infrared shots, my camera is not converted so I am just using the filter and Photoshop, shooting in RAW I import in to Photoshop with Adobe camera raw, use the white balance tool and select an area then in Photoshop using a Channel mixer adjustment layer I Select Red and drag the Red setting to 0% and then drag the Blue setting to 100% next I Select Blue and drag the Blue setting to 0% and drag the Red setting to 100% then play from there, below is the best I can come up with so far, is it possible to do better with my image and set up?



The Raw image is below if anyone fancies a go at it

I like it. I like NIR photography. We Pentax users don't have an issue with IR filters. Did you use something like a Tiffen 87?

Nice to know Canon allows this as well

The filter come from eBay it's called a Neewar ir720 and was about £7
