I brought up this topic in Joe’s Tripod thread and at Leen’s suggestion we are starting an Infrared Topic, good idea! 😉 So, I’m going to attempt to clipboard the parts from the other thread here, not sure if this can be done, here goes nothin’:
This is where the IR topic started:

I purchases a camera bracket from Lensmate <http://www.lensmateonline.com> that has the prescribed offset but I do believe that the only make one for the G1, you will have to check around. If you have trouble the are easy to make as the tripod socket is just a 1/4 – 20 tapped hole.

Grant, the B&W infrared pano at the site you posted is fabulous! Wonder if I can get some filters for my Minolta Dimage? I’ve shot some infrared color slide film in the past with the 35mm and this makes me want to get some filters for the digicam too. Better yet, is there a filter for Elements to recreate infrared that is Mac compatible or can it be simulated via the Channel Mixer?
It’s funny how one topic often leads to another here, I love it, what an inspiration! Barb

One of the advantages of the G1 is that it is well tuned to infrared. I suspect when they moved to the G2 Canon built in an infrared mask limiting this use. This is one of the reasons I went for the G1 but alas I didn’t take as many IR photos as I could have.

Grant,
Lucky you! Mine only has Vivid Color, Black & White, Solarization and Sepia for the extra settings, although I haven’t tried any of those yet, Elements takes care of a lot!

There is no setting for IR and you must use filters and the like but …. chip is extremely sensitive to IR and I suspect this may cause some colour shift in other areas although I have not seen it. In any event Canon decided to block this with later cameras

Leen,
Thanks for the info on the "nodal point."
I found the following website that describes it, and gives a simple procedure for determining it for any lens/camera combination:

I got it Grant, my misunderstanding, thanks! An IR setting on a digital camera would be nice. Barb
