Lovthe IR in particular is eerie

Isn't it just. I'll have to try also - it seems that the boosted live view on the Oly 410 etc makes it possible to view and focus.

also against my better judgement i've put some excerpts from the lookout diary i wrote years ago, a lot of the events feeling like ancient history:

Hi Wayne,

The IR shots are particulalry impressive. I have been in the far east for the past few weeks so have been happily disconnected but it is nice to come back and see the progress in this thread. I will have a good look at your pbase gallery when I get the chance.

Thanks for documenting this.

hi ed,
good to have you back. thanks for the kind words. one thing i like about ir is the shots can be processed in so many ways. and the otherworldlyness that seems to come automatically with many of them.
best

Wayne both kits lenses for my e410 and the S6000fd take 58mm, so one filter cane used for all! Sweet!
Bertie; thanks for the tip on the Oly

hi lili,
just a thought. i have a 62mm with a step-up rring from 58. you might want to check out the 58 and see if you get vignetting with the widest angel.

Lili, I found this quite by accident;

http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews_olympus_e520_2.php

if you scroll down a bit there is a paragraph about infra red and how to do it. Though the review is about the 520, it should be applicable to the 410,420 and 510 at least.

after days off, very warm up here. the weather forecasts keep changing. one minute they say no precip for ten days. the next day they say there's a 95% chance come halloween! the only sure thing, the skies will change on a dime.

Quite a series, Wayne - very cool stuff! I keep feeling like I'll see Sasquatch appear right behind you in one them. Be careful out there.
