Debayered Infrared
Link to my la-*test*-('") shots - blue cvs 2F with bayer removed, IR filter polished away and unexposed developed slide film in front of lens: http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=506144 Click on individual pictures and then larger to see full 1280 x 860 image. I just used FF2 and inrfanview processing as standard color photo. I need to try loading as a B&W raw and see if that makes any difference; however without a detailed understanding of header fields it is normally very difficult to match quality of SMaL software processing. Many of my shots were badly washed out - so I can probably try a darker less grainy ND filter than black film.

I took a couple side by side comparisons at work today of Hard Rock Cafe (Part of Compuware Building), and Campus Martius Park from 15th floor balcony of Compuware Building. Local bands have been playing on stage in park during lunch every day from 11:30 to 1:30. Plant life seems to reflect short IR much more than humans or manmade objects. http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=506144

may i ask a couple questions what did you use to polish off lens with and i was able to take the protective glass off the image sensor(practing on a trashed camera) but it shatterd in the process, is there a way to remove it intact? and other websites about camera IR modding mention nothing about debayering but are able to produce IR (so they say) looking photos.

To remove IR filter off lens - I used car polishing compound No 7 and rubbed for over 10 minutes. forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=2346#2346" target="_blank">http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=2346#2346 The bayer layer will not prevent success - others have posted IR examples on these forums with bayer still intact. Bayer being gone will allow more light to reach sensor. I had removed bayer layer for other reasons (increased resolution and autobrite -*test*-('")ing).
