p.1 #2 · HELP / INFRARED ON 30D | |
Howdy John,
Lots of different techniques for shooting IR with a screw on filter.
Getting a red image is pretty much what you should get, unless you have really worked on
your WB.
Here's a couple of links that might help a little, you might also post one of your shots and let some of the guys on the forum see what they can do.
One of the main things is to shoot in RAW so you can adjust the W/B later if need be.

Here's a pretty helpful IR Forum, Jules is a very nice fellow, been shooting IR for a long long time<G>

Hope this helps a little!! Check back and please let us know how it's going .
Also, Here's a little ditty I found for the 20D, not sure how it will work for your 30D
Setting Custom White Balance (Preset) for Canon 20D.
1. Fix the IR filter onto your lens.
2. Take the shot with the filter on AWB (Try initial setting of ISO 1600, 2s F4~5.6)
3. With the shot, you should get a reddish image.
4. Press Menu -> Custom WB.
5. Using the scroll dial, select the photos that you just took. Press set to accept image.
6. Screen will show [Set WB to "Custom WB"]
7. Press the AF.WB button (button is located above the LED screen).
8. Using the scroll dial, select CWB (it is the 3rd icon on the left).
9. You are ready to take your first IR images.
Capturing a shot.
1. unscrew filter from lens.
2. Compose your shots. (you will need a tripod for sure!!)
3. screw filter back.
4. Try initial setting of ISO 100, f8, 30s.
5. Half press the shutter button. it is able to AF.
6. Capture your first IR shot!!
