Infrared conversion camera

These images are the first few I've shot with a CanonG7 converted to infrared...which simply means that the infrared filter has been removed from the camera sensor professionally...I have long been fascinated with this spectrum of photography so this is a real treat for me...there is something bizarre and unique about shooting infrared and since there is no better time than summer, it should be a lot of fun...the image with the blue sky is the result of swapping the red/blue channels in the channel mixer of Photoshop..

Hi,

I have an old G7 I dont use much any more and converting it to infrared might be exactly what it needs!
Can you recommend a good place to have it adjusted?

Ron, try Lifepixel.com they can do it for around $250...they also have tutorials.

I have also converted a camera to infrared and LOVE it. I recommend it to anyone who has an extra camera body! Marion, your photos are lovely!
