The photo was taken on a Sony F717 in 'nightshot'
mode. This enables you to see what you are taking rather than shooting blind. I use a Hoya R72 filter with either a ND4, or ND8 to cut down the light levels a little more. A maximum shutter speed of 1/60s is required in the nightshot shootiing
mode. For best results of the IR effect you need strong sunlight. Vegetation, rich blue skys, clouds, and skin are all good subjects to try and include in a IR shot.
The photos produced in nigthshot
mode come out with a horrible green cast as in nightsights, this is removed in PP and then the contrast is adjusted.
