You will have to frame the shot, lock-down the camera and then apply an IR filter.  The Hoya IR 72 (which is the most popular) filter is practically opaque to your eye. Full conversion (with the IR filter on the sensor) is by far the best way to go. I use a fully converted 20D and have extensive experience with digital B&W IR. Look at www.pbase.com/garyallenbrown there are several hundred B&W IR images.


Thanks for the correction Gary.
