Re: Canon Rebel 300D using a IR filter!!!

It depends on what kind of IR images you want.  It's best to use a modified camera but it can be done with just a filter in some cases (non-moving subjects and on a tripod).  You'll want too set a custom white balance, often something green such as grass will work best.  Then in post you have the choice of converting to black & white or leaving it in color (depending on the filter, you may not really have color as an option).  If you leave it in color, the common practice is to swap the red and blue color channels and then adjust from there.
